just bumping my post... over stewarts really be conciderate of others

What have you done to yourself? The butterfly of anorexia has landed on your shoulder. The question of why could take forever but the question of "how" can start today. XO

drink milk and lift weights. it can help slow and even REVERSE the osteoporosis.

That, and if you're not getting your period, (or even if you are) see your gynocologist and see if there is anything you can do about getting your estrogen to where it should be. Estrogen absorbs calcium into the bones.

That's really scary...I hope you can take better care of yourself now.....sometimes people need to get a good scare before they change their ways(happened to me)...as for the osteoperosis..I'm really scared of getting that...I eat way better now, but I'm afraid to suffer the effects of my anorexia...is there anything you can do to up your bone density again??

i don't know if i have osteoporosis... but i have broken bones on many occasions while being anorexic. like sophia suggests, i take calcium supplements with vit d and walk frequently. even something like walking is good for you too.

Vitamin D helps absorb calcium, so make sure you get plenty of it. Caltrate Plus is a supplement and has versions containing Vitamin D. Good luck hun :)

bump thanks

It gets very scary when the physical signs start rearing their ugly heads. But like Gab said, you always have the future to work on getting better. The body is so amazingly resilient.

There are meds that you can take for the osteoporosis and since you are young enough your body will most likely bounce back and repair itself. Please take care in the meantime, okay?

Work with a therapist and doctor to get the thoughts under control, and just keep on remembering that you are loved by many many many people that will support you in your recovery.
