Yeah, if you're not actually feeling sick, like a cold/flu, then I would assume this kind of thing actually IS purging related. Although I can understand the frustration of "everything" being related to the ED even when it likely isn't. But purging and throat problems tend to go hand in hand, and when there isn't any other explanation...

To be honest, i quite like that my GP doesn't really 'get' what Bulimia is, or is interested in it. He does his job OK, considering that i dont make it all that easy for him. Poor old guy!
Thanks for the reply
The long hiatus isn't necessary, I think (just my experience) if I took a break and start purging again, my risk of immediate injury to myself seems to be higher. No real scientific basis for that one, though. However, injury can happen at any time...

I hope you start feeling better soon!
