Hello hunny and a big warm gentle WELCOME to psych central, and especially the ED support forum. Yeah, understand everything you've said and prob a bit more besides as I'm 56 and have 33 years of food abuse under my belt. I was hospitalised many times over the years but in the "old days" little was known about ED's, it was then called the "slimmers disease", couldn't be further from the truth. I'm now at a very low weight but NOT my anorexic weight, mind you, that's only a very few pounds away. I severely restrict but do nibble at things and yes, I do purge. I had a diagnoses of oestoprosis (brittle bones) 6 years ago and have meds for that, caused by ED of course. I also have crumbling teeth and exceptionally thin hair, again due to DE's. Please don't stress about IP, you've nothing to loose really and you might just extend your life. You're obviously very intelligent or you couldn't do your difficult job, though intelligence shows no mercy when dealing with ED. I too have had major surgery relating to my ED and so very nearly died. After that I vowed to give up ED, but I've slipped back. Darling, take great care, and take heed to what others have written here. Hope to chat again. Hugs n Loves. Xxxxx.
