Constantly fighting against deconditioning and trying to slow the osteopenia/ prevent osteoporosis is so frustrating and unrewarding when no matter what I do to build strength and endurance it’s like “walk 100 feet —> need to sit from being winded walk another 50 feet—> need to sit because winded” ad nauseum (literally).

Like I’m sure it would be worse if I stopped, and like, I’m doing better than I was before I got crutches/ my Rollator but my endurance is eroding and I just wish I could build myself up and see results from exercise / set and meet sustainable goals.

You don't believe it can happen to you - I didn't either...

...Health problems I have to live with caused by the 8 years I struggled with anorexia and orthorexia[and never believed I was "sick enough" for it to happen to me].

I want to preface this post by saying 2 things; First, this post will talk some about eating disorders, although nothing detailed and I will not ever post numbers or anything more obviously upsetting, I do still want to give that warning so if this topic might upset or cause problems for you, do what is good for you and don't continue reading this. Second, I am not a medical or mental health professional. I have no degrees of any kind so this post, like all my others, is purely my experiences, opinions and what I have learned from my doctors over the years. You've been warned now on to the real content/topic...

The past few weeks there has been these nagging thoughts and feelings of some regrets and anger and sadness about how much of my physical health alone eating disorders took from me. I can't go back to change anything but it is something that makes me angry how deceived and distorted someone who is in the depths of an eating disorder can be. For a little back story I struggled with Orthorexia and anorexia for 8 years. The behaviors & obsessions began when I was only 7 years old and I was diagnosed with Orthorexia at age 8 and given a second diagnosis of anorexia at age 10. I stayed in these disorders until I was 15 & only then did I actively pursue and work for recovery. I'm happy to say I have maintained that recovery and a healthy weight since, however, a lot of damage was already done to my body by the time I was 15 and unfortunately much of it was not reversed so I live with many physical health problems caused by anorexia and Orthorexia.

Like many who struggle with eating disorders I was, at different points, told about and warned of the damage it could do to my body, the possible long term consequences of continuing in my disorders. Also like many who struggle with eating disorders I shrugged off these warnings and facts. In my mind none of it would happen to me because I never saw myself as a "sick enough " orthorexic and anorexic to warrant such complications. Now, were there and are there people struggling with eating disorders whose cases would be called more severe and critical than me - yes of course and that is kind of the point- this idea people who struggle with eating disorders have that they have to be the sickest, skinniest, closest to death's door anorexic or orthorexic or whatever to have long term health problems from it or to deserve help or die from their disease is a complete garbage dumpster fire of lies and bullshit! It's not a competition and comparison will destroy! With an eating disorder it will never be enough until it kills you...you will not win anything ‐ or be smiled on, applauded, or envied for dying so thin. No one who knew you will remember you after your death and speak fondly, joyfully or boast about how sick and thin you were. It will not be a positive, admirable, inspiring, happy legacy you will leave if you die sick because of an eating disorder. Your loved ones will suffer, they will be angry about your sickness, angry that you couldn't believe you were sick enough/warranted help. They will be sad and grief stricken and wonder what they could have done differently. They will blame themselves. It's harsh, morbid and very depressing but it is the truth of the legacy you will leave if your eating disorder kills you because you weren't thin enough, sick enough, and you didn't believe any of it could happen to you. You won't die happy and fulfilled because you are thin and sick, you will die depressed, scared, anxious, tortured, and weak just as you were in the eating disorder that deceived you pushing you to hold on to and continue your behaviors, always promising you will be happy when but continually moving that goal- keeping it out of reach because it's never enough with an eating disorder. It's a lie!

Talking to my doctors, I have learned that a good portion of my heart problems were caused by/at least partially caused by years of starvation, malnutrition and stress from my eating disorders. These heart issues include: my heart murmur, mitral valve prolapse and mitral valve regurgitation(which I had to have heart surgery for last year), bradycardia, and thin heart walls! This accounts for every heart health problem I have besides one...it makes me cringe with regret, anger and sadness just to know that.

Anorexia and Orthorexia also caused the irreversible damage and basically shut down of my reproductive system meaning I am sterile/infertile...can not have children. Because I began struggling with eating disorders so young, becoming sick and emaciated/malnourished so quickly and basically remaining in that state or in a declining state for 8 years I have not ever had a period or menstrual cycle and I will not ever due to the damage to my reproductive system. This also caused problems with my bone density and I have osteopenia (basically the beginning stage of osteoporosis) and eventually that will progress into full osteoporosis. I also have permanent damage to my liver caused by my eating disorders.

I hate that I caused so much of my own health struggles and problems and as a result cause my family worry for my health, my well being, and my future. Not to mention the experiences, relationships, strength, health, life, personality, adventure, discovery, zeal, joy, love, rest, dreams the eating disorders took from me and I can't go back and have them.

I am a dancer. Dance is my biggest passion in life and some day I won't be able to dance anymore because the permanent damage and health problems from my eating disorders will end it. My bones will be too brittle and weak to leap and turn and hold a pose, have correct technique. My heart could get weaker- more stressed in time and I will have dance taken from me. I won't be able to follow that dream, to perform. The consequences of eating disorders reach my entire life and that is and/or can be the reality for anyone with an eating disorder who doesn't believe it will happen to them - who doesn't see themselves as sick enough. I did not see it or believe it either and yet this is my reality.

Why does every article about having osteoporosis/osteopenia have to mention how it’s mostly just older people who struggle with it. I’m 22 for fucks sake. I have nobody my age who has any idea what it feels like to live life scared to misstep and fall, because if I fall I will fracture more bones.

Got off my period suppressant because I have osteopenia so now 2 years of suppressed periods, endometriosis and the tidal wave of gender fuckery I had shoved into a box labeled “don’t even think about it” are all fighting and I’m just laying in a heap on the couch.

#fml #I’m trying not to panic about loosing bone #I appreciate what orlissa gave me as far as pain relief #but I wish my drs took a second and had me do a DEXA scan first #because the amount of bone loss I had was unusual unless I already had low bone density #or an underlying issue but who knows? not me #i’m too tired for this #I’m too young for this much health bs #please forgive me for the weird shit I’m about to reblog #cringe is dead #and I need my comfort charachters #endometriosis #chronic illness #osteopenia #chronic pain #osteoporosis #gender dysphoria #ftm #??? idk

I haven't posted a lot of personal life stuff on Tumblr yet. However.

Yesterday I found out I have arthritis in my knees and osteopenia (basically pre-osteoperosis). I'm feelig so angsty and annoyed about it. I'm only in my 30s and I'm so tired of managing all kinds of little health issues. My doctor gave me no fucking information. I spent yesterday evening looking at shit on JSTOR (autism lol). It's not the worst thing ever of course but like would it kill the medical establishment to do something other than tell me to stop being fat and shrug at me. I'm going to have to manage this stuff for decades. Just, fuck.

Alimentazione e menopausa: un confronto per ristabilire la bilancia ormonale

Clinicamente, la menopausa viene diagnosticata quando una donna non ha mestruato per un anno a causa della perdita di attività follicolare ovarica, che si verifica in genere intorno ai 45-55 anni. Negli Stati Uniti, la menopausa spontanea si verifica in media a 51 anni. In generale, le donne vivono più a lungo degli uomini e la durata della vita media globale delle donne è aumentata. L’età media…

Building Strong Bones: The Plyometric Power for Bone Density

Osteoporosis is Not a Calcium Deficiency

Osteoporosis is a medical condition characterized by a decrease in bone density and mass, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is commonly believed that osteoporosis is caused by a deficiency of calcium, but this is an oversimplification. While calcium is certainly important for maintaining bone health, there are many other factors at play. For example, vitamin D is crucial for the absorption of calcium, and hormonal imbalances can also contribute to bone loss. Furthermore, lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise can all increase the risk of osteoporosis. Overall, it is important to recognize that osteoporosis is a complex condition that cannot be explained by a single nutrient deficiency.

You ever have a dream that feels insanely real and you keep thinking about it? That's me today! I had a dream last night that I was flying a plane...as random as that is and today it's been going over and over in my head to the point where I even looked up what it takes to get a pilot license 😄 Not that I will actually do it but it sounds pretty amazing so who knows. Other dancers in my classes today looked at me like I had 3 heads when I told them I was researching getting a pilots license on break from class. I think it is rather fun to prove people wrong and do things they would never expect. For instance I have loved motorcycles since I was kid...so much more fun than driving a car to me & nobody close to me thought a girl like me would actually learn to ride one let alone buy her own once she got her license but I did and I love riding my motorcycle...no regrets there! It would be cool to be able fly a plane. Haha who knows

Osteopenia to Osteoporosis - A Quick Guide

Osteopenia is an orthopedic condition in which the person experiences low bone mineral density when tested. This condition does not show any symptoms, and with time, it progresses to osteoporosis. As a result, they are known as silent conditions.

Reach out

Early this morning I received a message informing me that one of my friends and fellow dancers from the dance studio made an attempt to end her own life last night. Shock, disbelief, confusion and worry are swirling for me right now. I have so many questions like what the hell happened, what was going on for Erika that led her to this?

Thankfully Erika is still alive & currently in the hospital receiving medical attention and treatment. I know the holidays are extremely difficult for so many people & I don't know if that contributed to Erika's decision to attempt suicide but if you are reading this and struggling or lonely or stressed or feeling suicidal this holiday season please talk to someone. You can message me on either of my blogs (this one or my main one).

One thing I have gathered about Erika is whatever problems she was having she hid it & kept it all to herself- to deal with alone. Her family has told me that they never knew anything was wrong and that is the same for myself, & our other friends. I wish she would have talked to someone, talked to me. I know many people hesitate to reach out especially surrounding mental health problems but dealing alone comes at a major price and it's not helpful. Again, my inbox is open if you decide you don't want to first talk to someone directly in your life. I don't have any degrees or many answers but I can be here. This post is giving a PSA vibe but I wanted to put this out there. It's important.

OSTEOPOROSIS AND WAYS TO HELP IMPROVE YOUR BONE HEALTH...

OSTEOPOROSIS AND WAYS TO HELP IMPROVE YOUR BONE HEALTH…

Osteoporosis (brittle bones) is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more prone to fracture. It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to break (fracture). Menopause can also increase the chances of developing osteoporosis because decreased oestrogen levels can lead to bone loss. The most common injuries in…
