Re: Natway, anorexia symptoms
I was just showing that all the "AF" symptoms she listed are also symptoms that fit anorexia, but that doesn't mean everyone that has the "AF" symptoms she listed is suffering from anorexia as I partly explained in my last post above.
Starvation will cause all those symptoms she listed and starvation is also what all anorexics will eventually suffer from along with anyone who calorie-restricts long enough.
My whole point is all the symptoms people are listing for "AF" are also the symptoms of malnutrition/starvation that's caused by prolonged calorie-restriction, whether from accidentally under-eating, or calorie-restricting on purpose, such as eating disorders like anorexia. That can't be denied.
As far as those other symptoms of anorexia, I've seen a lot of people in the AF support section complain or mention the following:
Extreme weight loss
Dizziness or fainting
Hair that thins, breaks or falls out
Soft, downy hair covering the body
Dry skin
Irregular heart rhythms
Swelling of arms or legs
Excessive exercise
Reduced interest in sex
