Oh gosh..refeeding syndrome? I have never heard of that...all I was ever told was eat,eat,eat. I think my scariest moment was when my muscles were so weak that i fell down in school infront of everyone or when my heart seemed really weak that I thought I might get a heart attack or something.

Refeeding syndrome? I've never heard of that. I just googled it and Wikipedia has a nice definition. Wow that's so scary...dying from eating? Crap. My scariest moment was once when I was purging and I got this sudden pins and needles feeling across my back and my left arm went numb. It scared me enough to make me stop for a week. Which for me is a big deal.

i've been very close to having refeeding syndrome. the docs thought they were gonna have me go into heart failure, it sucked. i started gtting mild edema, but then i BLEW UP like a water balloon. i had pitting edema, electrolytes were all over the place, and my heart was pumping in a very disturbing way. plus i gained like 9lbs in one day just from fluids. it's deadly. there was a girl i was in the hospital with who had this happen. they took her to the cardiac critical care unit, she never came back...

My scariest moment was when I was purging and vomited up a whole bunch of blood...I had thrown up traces of blood before but never that much.....

I also suffer from PAC (premature arterial contractions, PVC's (premature ventricular contractions, spontaneious tachyardia (fast heart rate) and spontaneous bradycardia (slow heart rate)sometimes when I do a lot binging & vomiting my heart goes out of whack...then sometimes I have to go to the ER to get drugs to fix it again... I also happen to be a person that can feel their own heart rate/rhythum.... it's pretty darn scary when you know the old ticker is not functioning properly.....(my dad had his first heart attack at 36 and a second at 38 and I am now in my mid thirties....so that is an ongoing fear...that I will binge and/or purge myself into a heart attack.

I actually had a heart attack from extremely low K+. I was 28. It was mild and I was extremely lucky. I have since done more damage and each bout with the ED scares me more. I was told the likelihood that my heart would stand another round was slim, yet today I can't seem to pull it together enough to stop.
I know of two girls I was in treatment with who are dead now. One died right there on the unit of heart failure and one died months after, once she was healthy because her body had sustained too much damage. I don't want this for me.

my scariest moment had to be when I was purging and I threw up blood -- it looked like several clots and a lot of it. I am ashamed to say it didn't scare me enough to make me stop.....
