| So..I finally got help. After a few scary nights of chest and stomach pain I made an appointment with my doctor to get help. I've seen her twice now, the first time I told her and I saw her the next week 8 lbs lighter and she wasn't too happy. My pulse was 160 the second time and I had low potassium, electrolytes and my thyroids were funny. I go to the Gastro Entomologist tommorow and have to make an appointment to get my heart checked out. Also I have to check to see if my insurance will cover therapy. So far I'm on 300 MG Zantac 10 MG Reglin 60MG Cymbalta I hate taking medicine and still can't stop my eating disorder but I'm happy I finally took the steps to get better. Thank you to everyone for their support. |

| I am glad that you took this problem to your doctor. I have been gone for a while so I am not sure what your eating issues are, but getting medical treatment is a good step. |

| Well, I had my appointment with the Entymologyst....My pulse was 170/minute and I was put in the ER then hospitalized for 3 days. That was a bunch of not fun....I have Gastronitis, an Ulcer and tachychardia (fast heart beat), I was also severely dehydrated and malnourised. I'm out now, feeling a bit better but it feels like my stomach is worse off whenever I try to eat. The Doctors were nice and understanding but i'm afraid that I can't stop. The minute I got home from the hospital I vomitted the Ensure they were making me drink. If anyone is just in the beggining throws of their eating disorder...my advice is stop now, the hospital is a scary place when you are in their for your heart at 21. |
