NOT vagina related, but certainly women's health related! gook!



So I got my blood tests back. Along with all the random stuff that's out of whack:

my vitamin B-TWELVE is low. bah!
my ferritin is low. double bah! anemia here I come, I guess.
and, worryingly, my phosphorus levels are high. high phosphorus prevents the absorbtion of calcium and leads to bone disease.... osteoperosis.
eek.
EEK!
JESUS!


I've only been anorexic (important detail) for like thirteen months! Could this be happening ALREADY? AGH!


heeeeeelp!

EDIT: From a health site: "High phosphorus levels cause blood calcium levels to drop. When phosphorus levels are high a message is sent to the bones (by a hormone) telling them to release calcium and “bind” the phosphorus, that is, remove the phosphorus from the blood. Bones become brittle due to the loss of the calcium." Oh, eek!

Right, but that doesn't mean it won't affect your body just because other people have been ana for much longer. Are you in recovery?
