anorexia

Avatar f tn I am about to start taking kelp pills, and was wondering what the risk or dangers would be to me. And are there any side effects to just taking them on thier own? I am just considering the dangers before i proceed with the pills. Any advice would be brilliant and much appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar m tn Ethacrynic acid has the listed side effects of possibly causing GI irritation, diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal pain, and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) but does say how frequent these side effects are but side effects are usually mild and not very common (usually less than 10%). Lasix (Furosemide) has the listed side effects of possibly causing anorexia, constipation, cramping, diarrhea, nausea, oral and gastric irritation, and vomiting and again does not list the frequency.
918035 tn?1274644533 I'm familiar with those same voices...they are the anorexia. Don't listen. You are worth so much more and you deserve to be healthy and have a good life. And I know you don't want to put more stuff on your family b/c of the death, but anorexia is serious and you need help to recover. I'm sure your family will be glad you told them. Yeah, maybe they will be mad about what you're doing to yourself, but that's just because they don't know anything about anorexia.

Avatar f tn for non Brits) may be anything from very skinny to light, depending on her height and frame. Your description makes her family situation seem to be a possible cause for your friend's weight and eating behavior. Your friend would have to see a doctor, ideally an eating disorder specialist, to see about a diagnosis of anorexia.
Avatar n tn Make that call....your life could depend on it...You are to special to your family to allow this to happen.....please seek help.....i know you have suffered,but lets put a stop to it.
Avatar m tn Hi and welcome, Unfortunately eating disorders such as anorexia effects the entire body, including the brain and nervous systems. What you are experiencing could be due to your anorexia, as it can cause peripheral neuropathy, vitamin B12 deficientcy etc so it would be worth discussing this with your doctor. Cheers..........
918035 tn?1274644533 I think it is very much important for you to receive treatment for your Anorexia because it is very very hard to do it on your own. Please talk to your family doctor and get a referral to a therapist specializing in eating disorders. You don't have to struggle with this alone.
Avatar n tn I feel my family is in a holding pattern and I cannot firgure out how to help her. I am willing to do family counseling, residency or whatever it takes to help get her relief from the pain of this disease. I started reading about the pituitary gland and cortisol production, ACTH and other potential solutions and just feel like I'm starting to consider any path as a possible solution which is, of course, confusing. Do you have any suggestions?

Avatar f tn Also, there is a possibility that she wants you to start eating so that you do not suffer from the side effects of anorexia. Anyways, please clear this with her so that this does not affect your relationship. Also, if you have anorexia, please try and consult a therapist dealing with eating disorders. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar f tn long term purging has terrible effects on your body, everything from sore throats to cardiac arrest.
Avatar f tn So I'm a 16 year old girl, about 5'5' and 110lbs. I'm on a calorie restricting diet and exercising a lot to lose weight. My family doesn't know and I can't talk to them about it due to circumstances i cannot discuss. My one friend who knows about this tells me I'm on the verge of anorexia and people at school are talking about me saying how skinny I'm getting. When people originally told me this I took it as a compliment, now I find it embarrassing.
Avatar m tn I think I will finally work up the courage to have a conversation with her family about my concern, and hopefully find out what is going on in terms of treatment. It's all so confusing. If I showed you a photo it would bring you to tears. It's a miracle she is still alive. I will definitely look for that film. And, Ree, congratulations on your recovery! I have hope the same can happen for my friend. Thank you again!
Avatar f tn t help but respond to this post after I have been watching documentaries on a French model that suffered for years with anorexia. She recently passed away back in December but was an advocate against anorexia. Her body was so traumatized that it began to physically take its toll on her, her body got to the point where it was so malnutritioned she couldn't even repair the damage. Here is the article on her: http://www.foxnews.
Avatar n tn for getting this far ,its a tough road but you sound determined and the fact you are asking for ideas is a sign you are on the right track, Go and click on the Doc site and also put it into the internet and get some ideas about feeding from there.
Avatar m tn Hello, Weight loss is one of the side effects of taking Accutane and it may cause anorexia as well. Eat a healthy nutritious diet and consult your doctor if weight loss is a major problem. You may need to be put on some other medication for acne rather than Accutane. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
1305767 tn?1361192676 I'm wondering if anyone else has had severe problems with appetite and eating from anxiety. For the past six months at least, possibly longer I hardly eat and I don't do it on purpose. It's just that I either don't feel hungry or I'll take a few bites of food and what I'm eating either becomes suddenly unappealing, my stomach starts to hurt or I'll get nauseous. There are times when I actually start getting anxiety from eating!
