My temp is 40.3 and they are trying to get my temp down i have also been taking laxatives [i take em when it,s nightime and no one can see me] i know what i,m doing is wrong, but i really feel if i don,t do it, something bad will happen,stupid i know but i didn,t take any this morning and n0w my temp is up!so i,m gonna take some now and i think the nurse knows what i,m upto but she hasen,t said anything to me,if i don,t take em i get really constipated,so i think if i take a few i,ll go to the loo and i,ll be ok,but then i feel guilty,and this morning i literally lost four teeth,i dunno if it,s cuz of the chemo or the bulimia i,m really upset cuz i have prob,s with my teeth anyway but they aren,t hurting me but i was shocked to find 4 bloody teeth in my glass after brushing my teeth do any of you on this site have the same problem,s with there teeth? i,m scared cuz i don,t wanna lose anymore teeth,shaz x

Hey hun. I'm so sorry you are going through such a hard time. I too have problems with my teeth, due to bulimia. I have had to have several pulled, and I've had many root canals and crowns. You really need to be honest with your doctors and nurses, especially since you are fighting cancer. They are there to help you. You need to be as healthy as possible to fight the cancer. Hug!

So sorry!
I have had teeth literally breaking apart in my mouth.
So, 3 have already been removed, & I have to get 3 more removed/extracted or cut out next week.
Mine is anorexia. I am sad for you & I will pray for you. I hope things will get much better very soon!
God bless!

I had problems with my teeth that were eating disorder related, but nothing that was serious. Now I just take extra care of my teeth && take vitamins.
