Aching throat!!!! - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

For anyone who doesn't know, I suffered from bulimia for ten years, and have not b/p in two. However, I have almost constant throat pain, tightness, and difficulty swallowing. I do not choke, but it is hard for me to swallow.

Anyone else have this problem who is dealing with bulimia, or recovered?

Thanks.

Hi sunnygal!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your stuggle with bulimia. 10 years is a long time! But congrats on not b/p in 2 years! THAT'S AMAZING!!!!

GO YOU!!

Unfortunatly, the long time you DID b/p could have caused serious damage to your throat (and other areas of your body) If you have not seen a Dr. you may want to. Like the others have said...this is serious.

As for me, I have not been bulmic for that long, but I am starting to have a painful throat, my voice is always scratchy...and I'm alway in pain. The horrible consequence of a bad decision that will effect my life forever...

good luck, let us know how you're doing!

NEVER GIVE UP

Hi sunnygal,
You need to see a Dr b/c you may have some damage. I was anorexic/bulimic for 5 yrs and have been recovered for about 5 yrs. I now have chronic acid reflux as a result of forced vomiting for so many years.

You're condition may or may not be serious, but regardless, if you get it treated you'll feel better.
