[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 111152, member: 59"] As I understand it and from what I have researched, once a person is as far gone as she is, that person needs inpatient help and quite honestly the success rate is not very good. Meetings don't help until the person's malnutrition is addressed. This girl is very seriously ill, she excercises vigorously twice a day in the college rec for 2 hours at a time, running very fast, and then goes outside and runs another hour at night. She eats virtually nothing and vomits every day. Her eyes are sunk in and her face is shallow, her bones stick out of her back and her back is bleeding from the weight and pressure of her bookbag. The fact that this girl is in pre-medication with science and medical professors all day every day is even more alarming. The sad fact is that there is very little that can be done. She is at odds with her parents because they are worried also. She is an adult. Unless someone takes guardianship over her and forces her into treatment she won't get it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
