So it seems in some of the years since I've been recovered or at least semi-recovered from this eating disorder, the DSM-V came out and rewrote a lot of the guidelines for diagnosing EDs. I thought I would have gone straight from anorexia back to ED-NOS, but apparently ED-NOS is non-existent now. I was surprised when I recently got my medical records from my old pdoc to see she had kept me diagnosed with anorexia for most of the 10 years I saw her, except maybe a 6 month period when my weight went up. Current pdoc seems to waver back & forth in his records as I did have a traumatic emergency ulcer surgery (non-ED related) in Feb. resulting in a large unexpected weight loss.

I didn't even realize they don't have an ED-NOS specification any more. The new guidelines would probably put my diagnosis right back under anorexia, purging type (through exercise).

Weird living so long with a diagnosis that no longer exists for so long. My old pdoc never told me when the new DSM-V came out (2013) and probably rightly so.
