    • About Me

      I am a single mother of two children - I was diagnosed with MS on July 23, 2008. I work for the doctor's who have diagnosed and are treating me, so I feel lucky to have them in my corner. However, this has been an extremely emotional battle these first few weeks.

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      I am overweight - I became this way 13 years ago. I do not eat right. I can go without food for so long but then if I eat I stay fat. I dont like junk food, fried food but to look at me everyong thinks all I do is eat and I hate it. When I eat what is supposed to be normal I do not feel better until I go to the bathroom and throw up - then I feel so much better.
