My potassium level was so low and making my heart skip and beat irratically, so I was kept on bedrest and fed potassium supplements for days
50% of my teeth are either filled or crowned. I developed pancreatitis from vomiting so much and was hospitalized for a week and ordered not to eat {no problem!  }When I passed out and didn't confess that the reason was I voluntarily made myself vomit >20 times that afternoon, I was hospitalized for a long workup Then there was the time I passed out on the stairs, fell down and dislocated my thumb  I also needed stitches in my hand because I was so disgusted with myself that I punched the mirror. Yeah, I was a mess, but I'm grateful it wasn't worse. |

I guess these symptoms are not for someone who purges once a day. They must have come up with them from the extreme Bulimics who purge 20 times a day.

MD - I'm not sure how to respond or if a response is necessary. I wasn't trying to "outdo" anyone, just show that there really can be some bad consequences for this disease. But please accept my apology if I upset you, and I'm VERY glad you haven't had ill effects.
PS - I always wondered about the knuckle scraping thing too  , but purging has (unfortunately) always been effortless for me.

MoxieDoxie- I often feel your posts are seeking to make a comparison between your own ed experience and that of others. I often cannot ascertain if you are seeking to define similarities, or define differences. Can you speak to this?
I am honestly passing no judgment. I genuinely would like to understand your motivation. In my own journies between bulimia, anorexia, remission, and repeated sickness, i have often posed the question you put forth here. At other times, i might have answered as you did.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
