Eating Disorder Or Migraine Symptoms?!


Question: Eating Disorder Or Migraine Symptoms!?
One of my friends has been worrying me lately!. She never ate much before but lately it seems to me that she is not eating much at all!. And she is drinking a lot of coffee!. I mention this to her telling her I am worried that she is drinking too much coffee and not eating enough and she says she needs the coffee because she does not sleep at night!. She also gets migraines which I guess I dont understand how serious they are but it seems like every week she has a migraine and when she does she will not eat at all!. Does having a migraine cause one to not want to eat!? Other symptoms I have noticed is that she has been losing weight!. I also asked her about this and she denies she has lost weight!. I know she has because all of her clothes just hang off her now!. Someone please help!. I dont know what to do!. I am very worried about her and want to help but I dont know what to do, or even if I have something to worry about!. Could it just be her migraine and insomnia or could it be something more serious!?

Okay for starters this Migraine thing is NOT true!. She's telling you this to make up an excuse to not eat and of course you're buying it so she'll keep using it until it gets old and you don't believe it anymore then she'll go to another excuse!. "She's been losing weight" that's the biggest key to this right here!. That's your answer!. She does need help!. Umm she probably drinks coffee because it's a stimulant and the caffeine makes your body work more and use more enegry!.!. thus it makes you not hungry!. It takes away the hunger pains!. She doesn't sleep at night because she knows that when you sleep your body kinda goes into a shut down mode and you don't really burn many calories when you're sleeping!. If you're awake then your body burns twice the calories, also the caffeine from the non calorie coffee will help her stay awake!. I know this all too well, I used to struggle with anorexia and these symptoms scream out HELP ME!. She needs help and she needs it now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A migraine can upset your stomach and make you not want to eat!. I think she is drinking coffee because she can't sleep!. The coffee is giving her migraines because of all the caffeine which make her not eat!. It's a deadly cycle!. But you should definitely talk to her and try to help!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like an eating disorder
but make sure by inviting her over for dinner and cook a really nice huge meal with loads of calories (like a pasta dish) and watch how/if she eats it!. this should make it more obviousWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well- #1-if she really has migraines, then yes she could be nausous or have vomiting, but she would not be drinking coffee or walking around - she'd be in bed with the curtains closed!. Coffee has caffeine- one reason she's not sleeping! If she's denying losing weight-she may be using coffee as a stimulant and not eating and could have an eating disorder!. Can you mention to her mom that you are worried about her!? This is not anything you can fix-but you could encourage her to see a Dr!. for her "migraines"-and let someone know of your concerns!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
