Feces hitting the fan?

[Lukky]

Hey, I am actually making an effort to eat pretty normally today- yesterday I made it without b/ping and ate about 1800 cal. Wow- havent done that in months. But I did not think I could physically purge.

I started getting a cold last week, (that was the feeling), then Saturday I developed an ear infection. Sunday was bad but I still managed to/had to b/p. Yesterday I thought I would make it through the day, but about halfway through I spent a few hours with major fever and extreme dizziness (and I am dizzy a lot and kept expecting to pass out), and my fingertips were extremely numb- very strong numbness (is that an oxymoron?)
befroe getting to the doctor to tell me I had an ear infection and a throat infection (hate when they have to look in my mouth) and get meds. With major tachycardia. About an hour later I bent over and it was extremely painful- ever since my chest/abdomen has felt really tight, radiating to my back but higher than kidneys. I am worried that it might be liver or gallbladder. I do not usually eat lots of fat, so dunno if there will be/has been a gall attack...
Anyone have experience with this? I am not sure if I am immunocompromised and just getting hit all at once, or if they could all be related. (I.e. bulimia causing everything, or something). Anyone who can tell me of experiences with liver/gall bladder issues? I have always had lots of health issues, surgeries, genetic conditions ,etc, but I hate trying to deal with doctors here. Last time I had an ear infection the doctor looked at me for 30 seconds, told me I needed surgery, and then when I said wait, prescribed antibiotics without doing any sort of culture. Heck the only time I have had to pee in a cup here was when I came and was drug tested. Argh.
Anyway, I am trying to get through tonight withuot purging, (feel a little better- being sick does not usually stop me), since I have to go back tomorrow and she will look at my throat!

I would be shocked if your current health problems are not somehow related to your ED.

Why would the doctor say you need surgery for an ear infection? That makes no sense.

What was the result of your throat exam?

Thanks for your response. Making a concerted effort this past week to purge less (esp. because had to see the doctor every other day and she was checking my throat!) My ears are really bad and I may need a rebuilt eardrum. (You know, chronic infections, tubes, various surgeries etc). I am doing better though I still cannot hear out of one ear. Still, it does take a depressingly long time to get over colds, then opportunistic infections. Now, I worry that my new coworker/neighbor knows and told the boss...I am in deep denial, but while I rarely hear neighbors except arguing and in the landing, I also hear coughing and more from apartments across the street, so even if I am quiet, Ive no idea who can hear me. But I was on the balcony Fri. night and I thought I heard from her *I cant live like this it is horrible* I would not worry but I had just told her to call the boss with a question. She has been acting funny and now I worry about being asked to leave or something.
I hope this is just a molehill. Thanks for allowing me to vent- feeling pretty unstable. Hope to go off Prozac tomorrow and try something that helps.

Just want to update- wow I realize now how anxious I was feeling. Although I am far from healthy and this is not the way to go, I can probably still be ok if I play my cards right. I am recognizing stress and anxiety better and at least the living situation seems to be either a)in my head b)not such a big deal or c)too private.
I guess I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop- the emergency ,the failure, etc, that will jolt me into either death or recovery... but little things add up, and the infections, chronic illnesses, crap doctors, etc have a big effect, too. I guess I am saying that maybe the Eureka moment is more of a state of being, not a dramatic exit/entrance. I am glad that my body will still respond to medication when sick. Maybe there is more than one way to go...
you know?
