Re: Dizzy and Swooning Update

[Guest guest]

Hi , so is she not doing BMs at all, just holding it?

Was she working on not doing the BMs as much since previously she was forcing

it?

Is she saying anything at all about the " why " she's not emptying bowels and less

of an appetite?

I know with OCD that sometimes if hoarding is a problem, it can carry over to

things like BMs. Well, maybe not if hoarding is involved, but I know I've read

about problems with OCD and sort of not wanting to " let things out of body " like

a BM or urination. Or it could just be OCD telling her " not to " , with OCD a

variety of illogical reasons can exist as you know.

So sorry this problem has gone the opposite! Keep us updated. Is she doing any

better since you posted this?

new, so off to the ped doc. Radiographs showed she's not emptying bowels (we

thought she was better because she was no longer forcefully having bowel

movements all day long due to compulsion...she swung back the other way

apparently), bloodwork was all normal, but she has lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks

because appetite is so off (then had major panic attacks leaving doctor after

blood draw).

Anxiety and appetite can be affected by anxiety and this is one of the red flags

that signal that you may need help. Sleep is often another area commonly

affected by anxiety. My son once lost 6 lbs in a week (10% of his body weight).
