Anorexia and isolation

Common Questions and Answers about Anorexia and isolation

anorexia

Avatar f tn Yes you can have stomach pain along with many other symptoms. Anorexia and Anorexia Nervosa are actually two different things.. Anorexia is simply not eating, it doesn't necessarily mean you don't WANT to eat, just a lack of eating for whatever reason. Anorexia Nervosa (what people are usually talking about when they use the term Anorexia) is when you don't eat because you think you are fat, or you have a strong fear of gaining weight.
179856 tn?1333547362 I was just reading about Portia DeRossi's anorexia and it says when she was down to 82 pounds she "was told she was suffering from a handful of serious conditions: osteoporosis, organ failure, cirrhosis of the liver and the auto-immune disease lupus." how would anorexia cause cirrhosis does anybody know? I'm just curious because I never heard of that before and was wondering how it was related.
Avatar f tn m 22 years old and battled Anorexia from 13-19. I am in recovery now and at a much better weight (BMI 17.9). I also have Endometriosis and recurrent urine infections; along with low ferritin and osteopenia. I'm on Sertraline 50mg and monthly Zolodex injections; along with medication for my osteopenia and my low ferritin. My holt monitor results are as follows: Sinus rhythm/Bradycardia Unifocal VE's seen in isolation only. SVE's seen in isolation only.
Avatar n tn Continuing down the path you are on will lead to nothing but further isolation, unhappiness and regrets.I wasted my teens with this **** and though it upsets me im so proud to be where i am today. I feel i have found the person i was before again and i know that you can too. Break the silence. You are worth finding.
Avatar n tn What you write is classic symptoms and behaviors of one getting more and more into the depth of their anorexia. Isolation and depression are also common features. What you need to do is ask yourself what keeps you in this relationship. Her threat of leaving the relationship is really her eating disorder talking.
Avatar f tn Proper nutrition is the goal in treating Anorexia. Food is medicine. To learn more about anorexia and treatment options, visit the bella vita website.
7282682 tn?1397237735 I agree that isolation is a huge enemy to recovery. Personally, it makes me feel so much more pain and despair. I don't want to go out, and the anxiety makes me not want to face anything...even the things I know make me feel good.
Avatar f tn isolation due to anxiety and depression, how to stay or keep up with living life, as opposed to spending time trapped inside...
Avatar n tn Have they given you any indication as to whether your daughter is on the autistic spectrum? Delayed speech and difficulties with social communication are parts of the diagnositic criteria for autism. Does she lack imagination, play games in a 'scripted' way, or try to always control the game. Does she show any feelings of isolation or is she quite happy to pay on her own. Does she has siblings? If so how do they play together. Are there any sensory issues.
511409 tn?1373395178 HI guys. To all that don't know me, I've been on and off this site since 08. I've gone as long as a year clean. As I know, some will take my inability to stay clean as a weakness, and blame me for not trying other things. Really don't give a rats arse about that right now. I had 7 days clean, went to pick up my AD's and forgot I had a script sitting there. And, low and behold, back at day one.
Avatar f tn I am currently medically stable but have been struggling for three years with hypothyroid symptoms( constant fatigue, brain fog,cold hands, slow motor skill, anxiety and depression worse, and a couple other symptoms) despite my bmi being normal, and proper nutrition. I am currently on thyroid meds but the only result is that my tsh is very low. Other wise I am still feeling the same and some symptoms are worse.
Avatar m tn know what to do about him, because he has like, no muscle mass left on him! He says he is experiencing aches and pains all over, and he is blind in hsi left eye, and has had surgery to move the muscle so that his eye looks the right way, because it crossed inward before. But I have heard this happens to other people as well. It is dizziness/vision blacking out, and last time the searing pain brought him to his knees. And he said last time that the pain was in his right eye.

785277 tn?1244324809 I can only speak for myself. I had beautiful teeth when I was a teenager. Now from my twenties on....43, Infections!!!!I have had all my teeth root canaled, bonded, pulled, bridged, and now finally all pulled and I'm working on implants. Its not worth all the pain and suffering, I will tell you that right now. I have spent over 35,000 on my teeth over the years. Infections in the mouth can lead to death...the infection can go straight to your heart or brain.
Avatar n tn I'm not so sure about the 8, but I had 18mci's and I was in isolation for a week and 10 days from pregnant women and babies. I would think you would be fine too, but no kissing and sleeping with anyone.
Avatar f tn I have a 13 year old daughter who's behavior has changed dramatically in the past few months. She's always done extremely well academically and has mantained straight A's since she began school. However, her grades have dropped drastically to the point where she is getting D's, C's, and even F's. Her teachers are very concerned, as am I, about this sudden drop in performance. Also, my daughter's eating habits have changed.
Avatar f tn d be discharged. 3.5 litres of water and 5 hours later and I was still sitting there in the isolation area of the hospital. I really wish someone had told me about that. They all said I'd be out and on my way in about 30 minutes. I've been quite tired, but am still able to go for a run. I have a bad headache in my face and I have passing aches in my glands (reminds me of the mumps, but to a lesser degree).
Avatar f tn first of all your periods stop because you are starving your body, and messing up all your hormone levels and plus you have no body fat. i have had an ed for almost 12 years and i didnt get my period i think till i was 18 it is not healthy to do. i have tremendous amounts of knowledge of this disease and if you ever need someone to talk to please just leave a message for me.
Avatar f tn t happen over night and doing it right will keep it off longer... With anorexia the second you start to eat your body holds in everything including the fat because it knows you will starve it again. Also when you stop eating your body will start to eat itself (including your muscles). You can do this hun... keep it up and persevere.

5664897 tn?1375480696 Try the way you said and see, but you may still need psychological support and/or advice from a nutritionist about eating healthily.
