Since eating disorders can be as high as 20% on college campuses, many colleges have specialists in eating disorders. Eating disorders are quite complex. They are genetic, psychological, social and spirtiual disorders. They can seemingly even disappear at certain times in individuals lives. And then come back with a vengance! You could visit the bella vita website to learn more about eating disorders. Wishing you the best in addressing your current struggle!
Are they referring to people with active eating disorders who are in a compromised medical state and more prone to seizing, or will anyone who has ever had an eating disorder be denied this med? I am not asking for Wellbutrin because of the weight loss side effects- 100% honest!!- but instead for its apparent success rate.
Finally, do I simply ask my doctor to prescribe it for me? Or would they have to recommend it?
Hi there,
There may be delay in periods sometimes due to pregnancy, stress, hormonal fluctuations, thyroid disorders, ovulation dysfunction, eating disorders etc.If you are not on any contraception pregnancy is a possibility. Take up pregnancy test. It is very reliable method for detecting pregnancy if done correctly. Do consult a gynecologist for more queries and clinical examination. Do write to me again.
Best luck and regards!
m probably beginning to sound like a broken record to some on this board, but there are a couple of things that you can try. You can try eating an apple prior to sitting down to a meal - that will help you fill up some so you won't eat so much. A large glass of water can do the same thing. Try using a smaller plate and you can have a plate full, but it just won't be as much food.
If pregnancy tests are negative other common causes of missed periods are stress, anxiety, eating disorders, too much of exercise etc.Hormonal imbalances, ovulation dysfunction and thyroid disorders are other conditions causing irregular delayed periods. Visiting a gynecologist and a clinical examination will be useful in determining the cause of your symptoms. Treatment will depend on the cause. Keep me posted.
Best wishes and regards!
s Anonymous where you will get support from people with all forms of eating disorders. I have 16 years recovery from my eating disorder so it is possible to recover. Part of recovery is learning that it isn't as much about food and weight but the feelings beneath those things. Good luck to you on getting the help you need.
The facility also specialized in treating eating disorders. My rehab roomate struggled with anorexia and bulimia. I sure learned alot about eating disorders in that time. I'm so glad you are posting about this. It sounds like you are being swept up in a cross addiction. This is a serious addiction that does kill many young women and men. A few of the girls I met had heart attacks and now live with pacemakers.
A progesterone deficiency can cause a miscarriage in the early weeks of a pregnancy which is what happened to me. Also a progesterone defiiency can cause autoimmune diseases, so you may want to look into having your hormones checked. I have learned that blood tests may not reveal progesterone deficiency (as in my case), however I went to a natural/homeopathic specialist who tests hormones using your saliva.
Some options are to talk to your family doctor, seek a therapist (one experienced in eating disorders) and/or attend meetings of Overeater's Anonymous (OA). Don't let the name scare you away; it is for people with various types of eating disorders. Good luck to you.
Just to let you know it's possible, I have been in recovery from my eating disorder for 15 years.
