Bec, bulimia can result in you having a sore throat and swollen glands amongst other things. Aside from ceasing throwing up, you need to see a doctor or someone who can give you something for the swelling. You can do real permanent damage here sweetie. You need to nip this thing in the butt before this permanent damage really happens. You have such a beautiful face, don't hurt it...

I dont have bulimia... just sore glands...

I'm sorry... I thought I remembered you saying it was from vomiting... do you have a stomach ache? Is the vomiting involuntary?

Bec. I'm not here to judge you. I think deep down you know you have a problem. And that's okay. We're here to support you. But you need to reach out for help in real time too.

The answer is yes, you can get sore glands from vomiting. And they will continue to hurt until the vomiting stops. I suggest seeing a doctor or taking something that will help with the pain. The biggest thing I suggest is for you to stop vomiting if it's not involuntary because that will stop your glands from swelling and hurting.

i cant stop... i've tried... my stomach hurts really bad if i dont...

Does you stomach hurt after eating? Are you eating an excessive amount or what other people might call a normal amount? If you stomach hurts after eating a "normal" amount, you should see a doctor.

Hun, you should probably get it checked out to see what's going on.

ummm... it hurts after small amounts... anything... i think it is because from going from not eating anything to having to have whole meals... cant go to doctor...

i cant get it checked out... what if it is from vomitting... then my parents would find out... and i can have that...

Hun, you know I think you need to let your parents know what's going on too. They care about you and they want what's best, even if they don't always understand it .

 

[beckybooiloveu]

i cant... i would get into sooo much trouble and they would be so worried... they would probs put me in some treatment programme... which i dont need... dont worry... its ok... maybe i shouldnt have asked about the glands...

 

[beckybooiloveu]

ouch... ... my glands have hurt before but it usually only lasts for about an hour or so... but this time they are still sore and it has been 15hours... through sleep and everything ... it really hurts... but i cant tell me parents... does anyone know anything that might help the pain abit...

Bec, you need to tell your parents what's going on Hun. They can help, but they can only help if they know what's happening. As Squiggle said before (somewhere, lol) - your parents are trusting you to tell them when you're not feeling great. Only you can let them know .

 

[feesha]

you need to nip this thing in the butt

yes, the only way it will get better is if you tell someone and start trying to get help. once someone knows it pulls you back into the reality that this is a very bad thing to do.

anyway, chic, you are loved! you should not be in pain like this.. please tell someone. if not your parents then a church or school counselor

 

[beckybooiloveu]

i might go ask the shcool nurse about my glands tomorrow if they are still sore... my mum is worried and thinks i am sick because i am cold and wearing a jumper... but i am fine... lol

 

[Bamboo_Chicken]

Your school nurse is a good start, but you need to tell someone the whole truth sis. They can only help when they know what's going on.

sorry... i cant tell anyone the whole truth... but dont worry... jsut thought i would let u know my glands arent hurting as much anymore... they are a little bit better...
