In reply to Does prolonged anorexia cause neurological symptom, posted by katt on March 21, 2004, at 23:11:39
Hi Katt,
I completely understand that you can't allow weight gain and are resorting to tricks to hide it or lose it.
I'm bulimic, and one of my best friends is anorexic. She has anorexic friends who I don't know personally, but I know what is going on physically. We're all in our 40s, so we definitely have prolonged anorexia or bulimia (in my case.)
One is experiencing MS like symptoms and is being evaluated by a neurologist. When you were in the hospital did you see a neurologist? S/he'd be the best to try to figure out what's going on with you. The friend has tingling, numbing, and loss of balance.
Another fell and broke her leg. That scared my friend into going to the doctor and was told her bone density is that of a 65 year old and she is at risk for breaking something if she falls.
I'm not trying to scare you, just inform you. Why my friend talks to me and tells me about her friends it's because I understand. I'm a sister in the club.
