Did you know bulimia can cause osteoarthritis?

I didn’t.

Apparently anorexia and bulimia (and ednos) can cause early onset of osteoarthritis due to poor nutrition and/or over exercising.

How did I learn this? I just got a call from my rheumatologist. Guess who has osteoarthritis. Yeah, I do.

I’m supposed to start a regimen of anti-inflammatories and follow up with the doctor.

I’m kind of floored right now. It’s become real, I guess. I’ve done actual damage to my body.

Sick

I just keep vomiting abd I’m not sure why. It’s going to be a long night.

Exercise-indused nausea

For the first time in 6 years, I exercised until I vomited.

I had wanted to go longer, but I’m literally too sick right now. I’m so frustrated.
