I am asking the people.. that actaully have an eating disorder.. or have recovered... because... I would very much like your opinion..

an opinion.. is just an an opinion... so please... there is no "right" or "wrong"

When I went to my physcian today... who I have known since she built her practice,,, I believe... about 7-8 years now..

I went to her on another matter.. but told her... my eating disorder has been out of control...

she said to me.... well that is completely psychriatic... and you know where you can go for that... meaning the psych hospital..

I told her:... I disagree... it is... there is also a physical componet.... when you have had an eating disorder for many years... your body "forgets" how to process.. protein.. and some of the other nutrients.. and I need help with that..

she... really... I mean... really... did not agree.. ED..is "in your head".. and has no physical aspects...

I refuse.. to allow her to discourage me... I hurt from her reaction...there is no educating her.. I have tried...

The internist... that I went to... wanted.. to treat my asthma... and such... but.. the thing I went for help with processing food.. and getting nutrients.. to stay in my body.. I got no help..

For me... it is like.. a woman that I knew who was a strict vegitarian... for years... then "out of the blue"... she ate a steak... and she was so sick from it... because... her body... had "forgotten" how to "break down" that steak...

So... for me... I am sorry to say... the medical community as a whole.. does not understand eating disorders..

And.. yes.. a person does need to do the work themselves.. but the physical things like Gerd.. and IBS.. and things like that... the physicans can certainly.. help...perhaps.. there are even vitamins out there... things like that... but.. since my physcian will not discuss my ED.. I will never know...

Montoring my blood pressure.. because just in 5 days of eating every few hours... it has dropped.. 30 points on the top... and 17 points on the bottom.. who... is to help me with that??? and that drop.. is due to my eating...
who.. is to help me.. because it is too low... and she didn't even look at it today...
I don't understand... I truely.. don't...
