OK so I screwed up and got anorexia for 2 years
Now I am happily regaining weight and eating lots more (yay) but my symptoms like cold feet & hands all the time, or very dry skin, or decreased energy at times wont seem to go away!!!
Will they go away in some weeks or months (Im very early in recovery still) or when I get to a normal weight, or will I just feel sooo crappy the rest of my life??? (Im only 15, god!)
i have super cold hands and feet all the time
my feet were tht cold they were dead pale an lightly blue i walk arnd the house bare foot i hate socks lol
but is very painful..
im not sure if thts a sign bcuz i nevr had anorexia i never want it an it is soo great u achived tht its nice to hear ppl r getting better from such a bad illness.
keep urself as warm as posble.
maybe go see a doctor see wat they sugest.
its betr thy put ur mind at ease..

I still get cold hands and feet even at my perfect weight!
It's good to hear that you are recovering from this horrible illness. It took me a year and a half to regain all my weight. So, by the time when you getting healthy again you will see the changes!
Hey, I'm 15, too! and I'M a recovering anorexic, too! That's cool! Hehe…birds a feather, right?
My dry skin, lanugo (you know, that fuzzy hair you get…:P), and loss of energy all disappeared around 3 months after serious treatment.
However, 6 months into therapy, I still have very cold hands and feet. Sorry. Maybe that'll go away eventually, idk.
they will go away, but it will take a while.
you have to give things like that time, anorexia really screws up your body and so it takes quite a bit of time to heal it!
thanks for getting better, it gives people like me hope that i can do the same!
