179856 tn?1333547362 Wow I really had no idea you could have liver failure and kidney failure and all that........I never really thought about it and now it makes more sense why karen Carpenter died from it.
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.
1247613 tn?1268785691 I live in Japan, and it is hard for me to get certain health care or prescriptions. My mother sends me my old prescriptions from the states, I am currently taking minocycline and budeprion xl, and last year, I had a kidney infection due to serious dehydration from anorexia. I've recovered from anorexia and have not had kidney problems since, but recently, I've had serious insomnia and anxiety/fear due to the idea that I may get that kidney infection again.
785277 tn?1244324809 How long would someone have Bulimarexia (cycles of anorexia followed by cycles of bulimia) until they start to have teeth problems? What kind of teeth problems happen other than decay, and is there anything I can do to lessen the strain on the teeth?
Avatar f tn First of, I tend to have bad eating habits. When I was younger I was dignosed with EDNOS, and then with anorexia. I would starve myself and purge what I did eat, and I would also abuse laxatives. Lately I have been having those problems again. I'm sure that all isn't helping my other problems. I am constinpated, all the time. Without laxatives, I maybe move my bowls once a week, sometimes longer.
4046749 tn?1357103996 Maybe try counseling or support groups for anorexia and bring your hubby along so that he can understand it better and realize that its an actually disease and you cant just wish it away like its nothing. I made my fiancé research it before i let him judge me.
Avatar n tn This could be due to postural hypotension (blood pressure falling with change of position), internal ear problems and cervical spondylitis or compression of cervical spinal nerves. All these cause dizziness when you get up from lying down position or when you change position that results in a change in the level of your head. Cervical spondylitis and ear problems also cause dizziness on changing the position of the neck. It is difficult to comment without examination.
Avatar m tn It is not typically a gastro issue and has psychological aspects to it, where the vomiting and diarrhoea can be self induced. These are important diagnoses to be ruled out. Gastroparesisis may present with nausea vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating etc. However the symptom of diarrhea may indicate an alternative diagnosis.
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.
Avatar f tn I'm 14 and i've been suffering from Anorexia & Bulimia for a little over a year now. As much as i don't like eating, due to the disorders, i still wanna keep as healthy as i can. I do eat things i think are safe at times that appeal to me..i was wondering if there are any healthy low calorie foods you recommend? The more food i feel comfortable eating the more i will recover.
554703 tn?1227497870 I never had an eating disorder per say, but years ago during a hard time with my Ex-husband, I didn't eat much and when I did, I only ate things like rice and ham. I lost 39 pounds in 5 weeks and woke up one morning with my heart beating all over the place and was rushed to the ER. Long story short, I was told I was close to joining Karen Carpenter. Karen died from "heartbeat irregularities brought on by chemical (electrolyte) imbalances associated with anorexia nervosa.
1017480 tn?1303107824 Chrst, more than the heart is involved in weeping edema. Other organs are breaking down from your anorexia and bulimia problems. If it continues the heart will and already is showing stress even though the ultra sound showed nothing wrong. I will go into some detail to explain what is happening inside your body. It is now 5 years down your path and your body has been trained to act in a certain way.
Avatar n tn I'm a 27-year-old female and I "recovered" from severe anorexia after in-patient treatment in 2005. I'm 5'3" tall and weighed in the low 70s before treatment. After treatment, I was eating about 1850 calories a day and weighed just under 100 pounds (still low, I know). I continued eating about that much and exercised a bit more (but not much), and by spring 2006, my weight had dropped for some unknown reason to about 83 pounds. I was secretly pleased but disturbed.
Avatar f tn My 9 year old standard poodle, normally active and lively, began walking slowly and became incontinent overnight 3 weeks ago. Sono to check for kidney or spleen abnormalities (and anything else in general) proved negative. Blood count is fine. After noting that dog was drinking more than normal, her eating began to tail off, and now she is not eating voluntarily for past 2 days. Today I began to put small bits of food down as if pilling her. There is no vomiting or diahrea.
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.
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.
701581 tn?1279136038 Hello, After three years of feeling really ill, I was just diagnosed with POTS/dysautonomia and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction. I also have frequent migraines, very bad IBS, kidney stones, and mitral valve with regurgitation. I am so grateful to get a diagnosis!!! I have been to many dr's who diagnosed me with everything from anorexia (which I do not have) to Lupus (which apparantley I do not have either)-although it is still questionable.
1165078 tn?1338655745 I've been on Keppra for over 3 yrs now, other than gain weight as soon as I was put on the drug, I've had numerous UTI's and kidney infec. as well as Kidney stones, I reduced my dosage by half (1000mg/day down to 500mg/day) over a period of 4 months last yr, still szr free, and blood levels come back with in therapeutic range (something my Neuro can't quite explain yet isn't making me go back up to the 1000mg/day).

4815753 tn?1359528843 I just found out today my 13 y/o cat, Reikah, that I adopted only 1 1/2 yrs ago has Kidney Cancer. About 2 months ago my vet and I started treating what we thought was a bad Kidney infection but the symptoms just never went completely away so we did 3 ultrasounds and found lesions in her Kidneys. I took her to UCDavis Vet Medical Center here in San Diego and they did a needle aspiration on the Kidney lesion and it came out positive for cancer cells. She is staying the night there tonight.

Avatar n tn My family thinks that I have Anorexia. I have a histroy of mental health problems, including; PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and ADHD.
Avatar f tn I am so sorry to hear about our pain and kidney issues. I can imagine how painful and tiresome it must all be ....and my heart goes out to you. I've had multiple kidney stones also. I assume they are unable to provide a specific diagnosis for your under the rib pain.... or do they believe it is related to the kidney issues? I can certainly relate to be tired of "pain meds" however we often have little choices if we want to tolerate our pain and function to some degree.
1348086 tn?1370783185 If any thing is serious with your kidney then you will come to know immediatly so no need to wait for symptoms to occur, Also do not do lot of google search because the more you do the more you learn the new symptoms and your brain will start mapping those symptoms to kidney and finally you will land up in health anxiety.... Enjoy life take care of your mother.. take her outside for a walk .. call your friends at home .. have a nice atmosphere at home and enjoy... dont think much ...
Avatar n tn I was reffered to a urologist specialist and found out she only had one kidney and had number 5 reflux in that kidney,so she had surgery on that kidney and so far so good.No more infections,and she is now 10 and doing fine.Good luck with your little girl,i know they worry the hell out of you but try to take one day at a time or the stress will make you sick.
Avatar n tn org/cgi/content/abstract/2/3/563 Liver disease secondary to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients. Evaluation of patients with chronic HCV infection is warranted to determine stage of disease and the need for HCV therapy.
