I think my twin sister may have anorexia... I was wondering how fast exactly do they drop the weight. She has lost close to eighty pounds and she has bruises all over her body. I didnt know if this was Anorexia or something else.. I have asked her to go to the doctor but they do nothing. She went to the emergency after passing out and they said it was just a virus and sent her on her way.

when she did see the doctor we always had a family member in the room. All they said is she has a panic disorder and put her on Paxil, and Zanix so now she is a zombie. I was with her on alot of these and not matter how hard i stressed they passed it off as something else. I put her on Vitamin C for the bruising and worked with her getting off the Paxil. I hate Keiser...

first thing you must know...anorexics lie.and if you really suspect this then talk to your parents about this...the longer you wait it could be too late for your sister..anorexics starve themselves and some of them starve themselves to death or have a heart attack.or she could have a drug problem...i really suggest you talk to a counselor or your family about this.

Naturally from breathing and sleeping and your heart beating, you are burning about 800 calories every 24 hours. by walking at all or standing during the day it comes around 1300 calories. if you eat around 1000 calories then you can lose weight. A calorie is energy. Calories are NOT bad, most athletes eat 5000-8000 calories and they have barely any fat. Do not think you can eat a lot of food without intaking calories, they are required for functioning correctly. anorexics will lose weight but not the weight they want to lose.. that skin around your eyes goes quickly, have you seen skinny girls with popped out looking eyes? that is the result of anorexia. You will get very sick very fast. imagine a day of eating nothing, the calories your body would normally get to help you do the basic things such as breathing and heart beating are not there and therefor your heart will be in danger of heart attack and your lounges will try to find calories from elsewhere which can cause asthma.

It is a 99.999999999999 percent chance that your sister is a anorexic. I'm no doctor, but an anorexic could easily lose 20 lbs a month... But I'm sure thats not the first time your sister has passed out. Or she could have had surgery from the scars... Either way, the doctors should not have turned her away!
