I Really Need Help! It's About My Mother..
Posted: 09-08-04 23:39pm

I'm not sure if it's an eating disorder but everywhere we go they say she's fine but I can literally see her wasting away. I'm like thirteen, so I really don't have anyone to talk to.
A few years back my mom had surgery to loose weight and she's lost alot. She's the same weight with me at 120. She started having problems with her stomach and sicknesses and we found out she had diabetes then all her stomach pains got worse and she had her appendix taken out not a day too late. Not a few months ago she had a seizure (isn't that where your sugar level gets low or something? I don't know..) but anyways lately she has just been getting worse, she's started smoking and i've tried telling her to stop but she can't because of stress at work and she can't take days off because she'll be fired. I'm afraid because she looks so pale and unhealthy and very boney. I don't see how they can say she's healthy. A few days ago her tooth came out aswell.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? I swear the doctors here are terrible and keep saying she's fine but something tells me she isn't.
Thanks for your help.
