I sorry about your sad news.
You should go back to your doctor and ask him for more advice - you could also asked to be refered to a dietician who can help you work out what you can eat healthily.

You don't say why you cant eat food or what happens. It sounds to me like you have a control illness. And I have to say I can only imagine how aw full it must be.
I know little about such eating disorders so I'm not gonna pretend to I have the answers.
I would work out when it began, and get to why it did. Av you thought about talk therapy there may be emotional reasons for this!!!!!
You do say you have seen your Dr, but haven't you got friends or family who can offer you support, maybe helping to find information, and writing a food diary, they could try out smoothies with you, or look at the foods you can eat and find different similar foods.He / she would be a kinda diet buddy.
I have to say if you cant/wont eat and keep your own body nourished it is unlikely you will be able to conceive or carry a baby. Thinking about having a baby while you are still ill wouldn't be right. You need to be able to look after yourself before taking on the responsibility of a baby!!!!!!
Please don't try for a baby until you are able to give a baby a future!!!!!

You need guidance and support. Either go along to a slimming club or there should be a dietitian at the surgery. Losing weight is never easy, but with the support it may get easier. I think you need to be in the right frame of mind to do it as well. You will only lose it if you really want to.....good luck

This question is very hard to answer but i would advice to talk to your doctor and maybe you could be placed on a programme that specialist will help you with your diet needs.
Also you could phone nurses direct and speak to them as they might have phone numbers that you could call to find someone that can help you.
Will power and strengh is two main things to have and this world we all can achieve anything if we all put our minds to it.
Maybe counselling will help because maybe if you have better understanding of this you will have clearer mind and this will lead you to make better decisions to what you can do to improve your life
I wish you the best of luck and really hope that you will find the answer that you are searching for.

You need to go to a nutritionist and find what you can eat. Take your vitamins. What about weight-gaining shakes? Have they tried intravenous feeding to get some food into you? Did the doctor tell you why you cannot eat most foods?

Go to see a different doctor,i do not believe the one you saw can predict what will happen to you in 19 years time-ANYTHING could happen in that time.Go and see another doctor-and also bin the idea of a family until you have got yourself straightened,concentrate on YOU first.

It seems to me that if you are 21yrs. old now and the doctor says
you will be lucky to live up to 40yrs. old ,,,that is more than enough
time to correct your problem ,,,frankly , any doctor who can say
someone has only this amount of time to live or thinks he can
forsee the future is a bad doctor,,,no one can look into the future ,,
you have a problem ,,but ,,,maybe find another doctor who may
advise you about pure vitamins and help you to overcome this
problem with special foods that you will enjoy ,,,remember this ,,,
no one can tell anyone when they are going to die ,,even cancer
patients in the last stages often times live far longer than
the doctor predicted ,,,try to find happiness in your heart ,,,,look
at beautiful flowers ,,,buy yourself some flowers or a beautiful
ornament ,,,sing a hymn ,,,raise your problem to God and ask
to be healed ,,,,one very important thing to do also is to give
to someone who has no food at all ,,,,,,,,if you , in your mind
throw out from your heart and mind that all will be well ,,,it will
be ,,also ,,,remember that we are all brothers and sisters in
this world ,,even though there is so much confusion,,,,you
will eat ,,,for all food is from God ,,,do not refuse His great
generosity ,,,you will be okay ,,,now go live your life and find
the doctor who perhaps will give you medicine that will induce
you to eat ,,,,,bless you and do not be afraid ,,,,,,

Depending upon the state you live in, you might be able to get a prescription for medical marijuana. It does wonders for increasing the appetite. I am an AIDS patient, and started experiencing severe loss of apetite a few years ago. Cannabis helps to keep my apetite up and running.
You are too young to give up on yourself. Keep trying, and life will help you find a way.

if your are 21 you can do loads of things to improve your lifestyle think of + things. for a start vary foods that your doc and you agree on. if you are serious about living longer etc, you will manage it. Go on a excercise program,ask doc for help they are there to support you. Slowly with eating and excercise it will work and you will loose weight.

OK. You have a problem. You must come to terms with it and change, the consequences otherwise are dire.
I am a harvester of souls - but this is not the way we want 'em.
Get a referral to a psychiatrist and come to terms with your relationship with food. As you know you have a lot to look forward to.
I agree need special input - meanwhile see GP for prescription for food supplements / replacement until sorted. Best of luck.
yechhh. all this touchy feely stuff makes me feel unclean - I'm off to unpick the soul of a pious man.
