This is how it all started ...

It all started last summer .. well , I've always been a person that doesn't eat much. My height is 5'4 and my normal weight has been from 96-99 maybe 100.. more or less. 'Every time I wanted to eat I couldn't because I always got nauseous. Even if I ate i got nauseous.. They made me an endoscopy and a colonoscopy.. they didn't find anything dangerous. They just found the esophagus irritated, so they gave me medicines for the nauseas, and for the esophagus. That was 2 years ago...well...last summer the nauseas got worse every time I wanted to eat... when they weighed me i weighted 91 pounds.... for some reason I felt a bit happy (don't know why because I really didn't want to lose weight) .. but then a month passed and I was feeling really sick.. they took me to the hospital and I was weighting 90...all the labs test were ok...well kind of...I was dehydrated, etc.. so I was hospitalized and they put me an NG tube to feed me and an IV... the NG tube thing was the worst experience ever...

All the doctors were saying it was Anorexia Nervosa...even though I tried explaining that it was that every time i wanted to eat i got nauseous...they still said it was Anorexia...they sent me to Miami to an Anorexia treatment...they also said it was Anorexia...because I was weighting 86 pounds...i kept losing weight. But I really didn't want to lose weight...no one believed me....they gave me Zyprexa (a phsychiatrist medicine) ...and that medicine made me eat a LOT, and when i started taking it the nauseas seemed to go away....I gain weight...i gained like 34 pounds.. I got to 120 lbs. And they suspended it because I gained weight....suddenly...I started to eat less again and I'm currently on 99lbs.. Can someone help me ???

Why do they say its Anorexia when I really didn't want to lose weight ??? But the weird part is that they prescribed me a phsychiatrist medicine and i got better... I don't understand....

i think mayb the first few times u felt sick it was genuine but as time went on it was a trick of the mind, therefore all though u didnt want to loose the weight on one hand it was a mind trick that made the nauseous occur so it became a cycle thats why the medicine worked. if u are having problems gettin them to listen to u could u not write it down and give itto them to read. wishing u well and glad to see u are feeling better, keep writing to us hon sending u positive vibes and loving thoughts
