I didn't take the pole because only a physician can tell you for sure if you have an eating disorder. There are certain physicians criteria for eating disorders some are not disclosed to the public. There is also medical problems that can result in weight gain and or loss, appitite changes and so on for example I chalked my eating problems up to my anerexia kicking in because of the stress I was under, it turned out that I had a bacteria known as Heliobacter Pyloria living in my stomach lining no one knows for how long because a person can have this bacteria for their whole life and not have a problem and or it can be there for years and then suddenly cause eating and wieght problems. The end result was that that bacteria caused me to have a blood cancer simular to leukemia called Lymphoma. This will be with me for the rest of my life and hopefully will remain in remission a good long time.

Having friends and people on line diagnose a person can and does lead to potentially life threatening situations such as this because the person may go on what friends and on line people and not see a qualified physician and those people on line and friends because they are not physicians will miss key elements to the problem and or read too much into the wrong symptoms which may result in friends and on line people misdiagnosing the person and then not only does the person not have that problem or have a more serious problem that isn't being taken care of they also have the stress of the misdiagnosis.

So instead of my taking this pole and it possibly leading to life threatening harm to you I suggest you continue working with your physicians on this. Especially since a hospital is involved which says there is some physical health problem that needs to be considered and taken care of by a qualified physician.
