Hi...
I am an Oldie that is a Newbie on here. My life is kinda sucky right now and I have found myself really needing to be involved with people who understand eating disorders or are at least willing to try. My friends and family have abandoned me at my most vulnerable time, divorcing, just out of treatment, single parent, full time student, no money, no man (he he), Loaded with responsibilites, and previously been a stay home mom....Huge changes and alone in them...I do have my Faith with which I draw strength from, Otherwise I know I would be worse off anyway..Thanks for your support and I look forward to getting to know some of you...Take care

We have a lot in common. I am a single mom from my first marriage and going through my second divorce. Yeah 0 for 2! I work full-time as a child protection caseworker that can be very draining at times. My daughter is 8 and she is the best. We have a happy family, the two of us. My problems: "orthorexia, anorexia, exercise bulimia". I put in quotes because I have not told anyone nor sought any help- scared to death. I also ramble a lot as demonstrated in this post. I actually just wanted to say "hi" and "Welcome".

Hello, and welcome! Your current situation sounds quite similar to my own. I pray you find the friends, encouragement and much needed support you need on DS. Take care of yourself. Just remember, whenever the toughts of your ED creeping in, just look at your kids! That's what keeps me strong along with my Faith in God.

    Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
