ps: has anyone every had a tingling sensation on ur stomach legs hands and feet wen u put ur head down?

anyone?:/

If you're drinking alot of water and not peeing normally then it's definately a problem. You need to see a doctor about that to rule out possible illness. But one thing you *might* be experiencing is retaining water. If you're not eating your body is going to hold onto everything - including water. Plus if you think are drinking water which you think is "alot" when really it's not then that could also be the problem. But, really, see a doctor about this.

The lack of a period is from your ED. Your body has taken up the defensive and says "I can barely support your lfe, I can't possibly support two". This is a very bad problem - but it occurs alot with ED sufferers - because you are now at risk for developing osteoporosis because of the lack of hormones your body is producing. I have gone without my period for various amounts of times. 5 months. 8 months. Etc. I have never had a bone density scan because, frankly, I'm terrified to get one and don't want to get the results.

The tingling sensation could be from lack of blood flow. That would make sense in the legs/hands/feet. The stomach I actually don't know about. I've never heard of lack of blood flow to the stomach region but I guess anything is possible.

Basically, you are not a good path. You know this. You are being given these signs - problems peeing, no period, tingling sensation - and you need to act. Honestly, you're going to have something major happen soon because your body cannot survive on just water. Don't listen to people who support fasting. It's BS. Plus those who fast are healthy to begin with - not suffering from an ED that destroys their bodies.

Thanks beccbecc for replying...u actually freaked me out....I'm a little scared...I will have to get lab tests done before I go to the renfrew center so I will def tell the docs about wats going on with me

They'll do a lot of tests while you're there too.

Yup Ive had this I stopped eating for a aweek once and was just driki9ng water and I stopped going number 2 (sorry gross i know) after like 2 dys and stopped peeing much, got down to like maybe 1/2 times a day. Was tingly and dizzy passing out all the time. Was NOT good though I was SOOOO proud of myself when I did though because it was like I was not a slave to my natural urges and instincts but once I started eating I realised how silly I was being.

Very difficult to see this when ur in it though and must admit im quite jealous reading this as I wish I could have that control again as silly as that is.

Hope you are ok and that you dont get to sick from doing this.

yeah i cant go 2...im sorry i triggered u...i like being in control and being about to dismiss these natural human urges. i feel very powerful. but to be honest even tho im losing weight..i hate this...i hate making sure that i eat wat i plan expecially when my mom cooks something amazing...i hate being panicked at the end of the day wen i calculate my calories and realized i over ate. i cant wait for treatment..this time i will be open to watever they ask of me and tell them wen its too hard and i dont want to instead of just ignoring the therapist.

ive never passed out but ive gotten so light headed i thought i was gonna fall forward and i have to sit or just steady myself.

i get that feeling when i have a UTI. go to your doctor. they'll give you a piss test to diagnose it then get you on meds to fix it. it could also be because you're not getting all the nutrients and everything else you need.

with the period; i was like that for years. i wouldnt get it for four months then get it for two weeks then wouldnt get it for two... ECT. doctor told me it was just an irregular period thing and put me on BC. it could also be from not eating because ED's fck with periods and stuff.

anyway, try cranberry juice. it helps with UTI's and makes you pee alot. that what me and my mom ALWAYS use and it works everytime.

Oh No you didn't trigger me it's ok hun, sorry I made you think that. Yeah I def get that whole strain about calories and staying within the bracket and if I go over than the whole day is ruined and I restrict more the next day ect.

Really glad about you going into the renfrew centre. How long will it be for and are you at school or college, university ect? if so how will you work it around being inpatient? how are your parents doing with this? Im guessing they know are they happy about renfrew?

I have to go soon so I didn't read peoples comments but it could be a yeast infection.

hey facarde...i wont be ip i will be in the intensive out patient program...hopefully theyll keep it that way ..i have another assesment on monday and im not gonna lie ive gotten worse...hence the quick weightloss...but because of school i wont be able to do ip and im not bad at all..im still over weight. im in college btw. when i was living with my dad he did notice and told my therapist how i have a problem with not eating and stuff and then bingeing when ive starved for too long. my mom doesnt think i have a problem she just think i chose not to eat for attention. both my parents are indifferent about me going into recovery..im not supported at home. HUGS

Tiff, thank u for the cranberry suggestion:)

if you are not eating solid food, there is no stool to pass and therefore no #2. I agree with other posts, Only fluid intake, your body may not expel as much as it is holding onto anything that it possibly could get. If you are gettign light headed, tingly, etc it could also be that you are throwing of your sodium/potassium balance which can be DEADLY. This is why some people exercise and then drop dead due to drinkning too much water to quickly. Not meant to scare but can be very serious. Don't stop drinking but please eat something too.

i ate alot this weekend//blahh like i went up to 700cals..but i know ill will just restrict this whole week for it like always..thank u for answering:)

I agree that u may be retaining water...which prly also happened before when u gained 10lbs then lost it....it happens with water weight. You should try to eat healthily and watch your sodium intake xoxo.
