slightly concerned

[sugarink]

lately i've noticed the following things:
--fingers wrinkled while/after taking a 30 minute shower
--feets and hands are often numb much more frequently
--been experiencing pain in joints/bones
is it because of anorexia?
or is it because of something else?

I think it could be :(

Well the wrinkly fingers maybe not. Do you use chemicals a lot? I was a lifeguard/swimming instructor and the chlorine has killed my skin. I get wrinkly hands after like 15 mins in a shower. :rolleyes:

cool thanks. but i don't use chemicals. oh well

i know that's a horrible reaction but i seriously get a thrill at the damage that i could be doing to my body.

Not sure about the wrinkly fingers thing, but my joints hurt a lot and all my extremities go numb from time to time. If you are concerned go see a doctor about it, you don't have to tell him/her you aren't eating but say that you've been experiencing XYZ and then see if it's normal or not.

the same thing happens to me but i would say if your worried go see your docter but only tell them what u want to tell them they dont need to her the fall story

hey i just answered this kinda in another thread.. ill throw out my ideas on the joint and bones thing.. your bones are probably brittle/weeker from your ed.. i know mine have since this all started... i jsut got hit in the arm the other day and it was an awful feeling for 30 mins straight... if i may ask are you able to feel your tendents.. they may be hurting more from peripheral neuropathy... its something common that comes about from anorexia.. dont worry.. msot people i hear do recover from it after eating again... but i would start as soon as possible.. as for your skin.. only thing i can think of is your skin is getting weeker in a sense... shoot me a message sometime.. we sound like we have similar problems :)
