So, this is a decade of having violent vomiting minimum several times a month, and ....yeah, more. A lot more.
I have issues with eating disorders, but I've never really been much of a purger anyway, so I don't think that's too much of the cause. Partly possibly. But not as much as this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
THE BLEEDING PROBLEM, SHORT OF AN ENDOSCOPY FOR YOU, IS BLOOD WORK...HEMATOLOGY TO BE EXACT...TO SEE IF YOU ARE LOW ON RED CELLS.
