my periods stopped): There is so much irony to this becauseof that thread I made a couple weeks ago but I've been waiting and waiting for it to come and it's still not here. I went to the docs yesterday for my GI issues and she said that when you're not feeling so hot and drop a lot of weight quick and have dehydration and stress it happens because you aren't fit to carry a child. So while I'm glad they're gone for now it still worries me that I'm this ill that they just stopped...even with being sick I'm still not underweight I am 143 and 5'9 1/2 so that's not low enough to not get my period my period doesn't stop from weight loss usually unless I get under 130...so I'm just kinda worried and I don't feel very feminine): I'm soooo getting a mani/pedi and facial tommorow):
trust me I'm trying!!!!!!!!!! I'm trying my hardest to eat and have been succesfull latley. I eeven had 2 pieces of cheeseless pizza tonight and lentil salad, a piece of non fat coffee cake earlier and a banana ...thats the most ive eaten in months...the prob is keeping it down or digesting it!!!!!! I was really valuptous and curvy and well even fat before this happened. I don't want to lose anymore weight though it's not by choice...trust me. The doctor lectured me frieday because they measured my haieght at over 5'9 and my weight at 143 and 145 is the lowest I'm supossed to weigh for my height I guess...but yeah I went from 190 in August to 143 now so I think it was just the speediness of it that stopped my periods because i still have a lot of body fat it looks like
yes I think its stress and being ill. There are a few people in my life right now who have really brought me down healthwise because they stressed me the fuck out and I want nothing more then for these people to leave me alone so I can get better. I have a collapsed gallbladder, among other things but the collapsed gallbladder is completley 100 percent from stress. It's funny I had the most stressful week of my life came home and then bam two days later got violently ill with this. My mom is setting me up with an acupuncturist, a massage therapist and a therapist next week. She doesn't really trust the philosophies of western medicine and swears by acupuncture and then I see the GI specialist on the 30th and my doctor again tommorow.
Awwww....sorry you're feeling so bad sister! cool that your mom is into alternative therapies, hope you find something that helps! (((hugs))) to you
I'm totally sorry. I didn't realize that you were struggling to put on weight. I thought maybe you were okay with being that skinny. Is it a lack of appetite problem, or a nausea problem, or what? Have you talked to your doc about why you can't eat? Sometimes I have no desire for any food until I feel dizzy with hunger. Then I just make myself eat something so that I don't feel dizyy anymore, but it can be difficult because the food grosses me out. And I am definitely not trying to lose weight. In my case I sort of wonder if it's medication that I have to take or hormones. I am not following my own advice and I am not telling you to do this if you don't want to, but are you able to eat if you smoke some weed? I personally don't do that these days, but I knew a cancer patient who was severely nauseous and could only keep food down if she did that. Anyway, if you don't feel hungry or if you feel nauseous, you should tell your doc that.
lynsey, it may take a while after your recovery before you start to menstruate regularly regularly. Keep in touch with your doctor, and ask if she can do anything to help you keep the food down. There is a gastric emptier, called Reglan, which empties the stomach into the intestines quickly. I don't know if it is used for your condition, but this drug also helps with nausea and vomiting, ask your doctor if it would be appropriate for you or not.
well I had my period and turns out I just had very bad ulcers in my stomach, esaphogus, intenstines ect. The liver problems were from the lexapro I was taking and my levels have dramaticly dedreased since I stopped taking it. The gallbladder is stress I went ot the herbalist yesterday and got some natural stuff to help as well.
geez... sounds like you've had a rough time of it! (((hugs))) to you & i hope you're feeling better soon
