How To Treat Severe Bulemic/anorexic With Menopause,purging 10-15 Times And Tongue Sensitivity?
I am a 42 yr old female bulemic/anorexic recently more bulemic. As my body and hormones are going into menopause I crave literally all day. My binging is out of control thus my anorexia won t let me keep anything down.l am binging and complete purge 10 to 15 times a day. I use a butter knife to compress my tongue and put it all the way down my throat to allow quick and thorough evacuation. My tongue is acting weird I have extreme sensitivity to spice where as before I LOVED SPICY and it feels tingly and raw kind of numb too deep crevaces in my tongue also like chopped meat. Can you make sense of these symptoms?

Hi,
I have gone through your query & understood your concern.
The bouts of overeating/drinking you have are overloading your digestive system resulting into indigestion/anorexia/nausea /vomiting & frequent purging too.
*The cause of such bulimic attitude you have may be out of-
-sudden lac of occupation/work ( children being self sufficient,husband busy at peak of carrier) resulting into psychological depression'
-hormonal imbalance due to pre menopause,
- disease like diabetes ,
*The tangue affection is due to disturbed intestinsl flora/injury by the knife blade ,you are pushing in.
* I feel you need to consult Endocrinologist/ gastroenterologist/psychoanalysis for pin pointing the cause after nessesery investigations & start with specific treatment.
* adopting healthy lifestyle is equally important-including having advised calorie/ consumption,eating fresh salads.boiled vegetables,fruits/regular exercises/ meditation/ daily routine work as per your liking/have company of good friends .
Thanks
