Has anyone w/Bulemia experienced larger jaw muscles and/or swollen checks? I'm having issues with a lump on one side and just larger than normal looking jaw structure. Anyone else hear of this?

I don't know if it's normal for bulimia, but I have problems with my jaw muscles as well. So it could be related.

enlarged salivary glands? Could this be your problem? Its one of the symptoms of bulimia and purging. chick munk cheeks? heard of that

I do believe this is related to Bulimia and it's probably enlarged glands - which does look horrible... changes your appearance and actually feels like a pinching... I don't know what to do???

It could be like what I have, it's called TMJ when the joint of the jaw is dameged so it could be that.

Swollen salivary gland, most definitely. Sounds like a classic symptoms of purging too much. Had them when I went into the hospital, and three weeks later they had gone down.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
