I am not trying to make this a medical/doctor issue post...
instead I am trying to find out if I am normal and if anyone has ever experienced what I experience...
I have been bulimic for the past five years, and anorexic before that for the five years before i started b/p... i was doing so well for six weeks after leaving a one week resi stay (insurance cut me off) but it was excellent for breaking the bad cycle.
anyways, when i stop binging and purging i become really swelled up. I hate it, it makes me feel so horrible and uncomfortable...it always makes me want to go back to the bad binging and purging. the drs always think i blow up and swell bc im still acting on behaviors but in reality i swell bc i am not using behaviors...
has this happened to anyone else?? is it ever going to end? i gained a lot of weight in the matter of a couple days nto even eating a lot....
now i am stuck in a bad cycle again and i am afraid to try and stop b/p bc im afraid i'll swell up in my cheeks and ankles and i wont have constant medical treamtnet available to help me if something goes wrong..
has this happened to anyone else?
