Again, Cheri. I was anorexic. Medically anorexic. At the time, no cause
could be found as to why I could not keep the food in me. I do not want to
go into the TMI category but I will say that I was very, very ill and came
close to death. I had a fever and had been put on all kinds of different
medications by my Dr.

Once I got better, I developed such a fear of foods that I could not bring
myself to eat because I didn't want the horrible pain that the food had
given me. I have posted of this before. Probably here and for sure on the
diabetes newsgroup. I was 5' 7" at the time and my weight fell to 85
pounds.

Yes, I had food available to me. I just was terrified to try to eat so much
as one bite because of the violent reactions that food had been giving me.

Please do not tell me that I was not truly hungry. I was so very truly
hungry that I almost died from it.
