Thanks for this informative, honest video. I have been through refeeding syndrome badly. Lost my eyesight through it and have neurological memory problems as a result. Had to learn how to walk again. Wow also go through derealization and depersonalisation. Thought it was only me, it's really scary!! Refeeding is an awful process and good to hear someone talking honestly about it, but glad to see you got through it (even though it's still a struggle mentally) yes feeling your emotions and physical symptoms for the first time is weird!!!! Oedema is AWFUL!!! I had elephant ankles 😱😱😱 Like you say, relapse is a deterrent as you /we don't want to go through the refeeding process again!! Love you Lauren ❤️❤️❤️
@@laurenleigh5896 aww yes I'm doing OK, it's always a struggle but have to keep pushing forwards don't we sweetie, glad my comments are appreciated. Absolutely love your videos!! ❤️💕 Keep battling 💪💪💪💞💞💞
The anxiety your feeling about your health is something that I can totally relate too, I can tell you that it will go away eventually , on recovery subconsciously you realize what you have put your body through and that gives you heightened anxiety about your health, I also had panic attacks if I left the house, I had a heart attack during my first refeeding but that was not done in a proper Ed clinic, and the odema was not recognised as a sign. I did not recover after my first refeeding experience, I was ill for over 35 years, and ended up on end of life care in our local hospice, luckily I had an experience that saved my life, and I can hand on heart say that I have now fully recovered, I went into the priory in 2010 my first experience of proper inpatient Ed treatment , I had been sectioned previously many years ago at 16 into a general psychiatric ward, they had not only no clue of how to treat eating disorders, the treatment was barbaric, I was given insulin therapy, not allowed any of my things or visitors unless I gained weight, the sole focus was weight gain, no therapy at all, that’s why I remained ill for so many years, once I got out of the hospital, I vowed I was never ever going through that again, I moved, many many miles away, so that I was off the radar, a general medical consultant did get to hear about me, and he actually came to my house, he was lovely, he promised me that he would look after me medically, and he would not send me into psychiatric care, there was many occasions when I was close to death and I would agree to be admitted under his care, just for him to get me out of trouble. However he eventually retired and I collapsed and was put under the care of an Ed team, however after reading my history, they came to the conclusion that I probably was not going to recover and I was put under the care of the hospice, eventually leading to admission for end of life care, but like I said previously a chance meeting while in there saved my life. It’s never too late,but obviously the soon help is sort the better, I have not got off lightly, I am left with some serious health conditions because of my anorexia, but I am at least now living, rather than barely existing , like I was when in the grips of this terrible illness , your doing amazing , plus your helping others in the process well done
Oh my goodness. You really have been through the ringer🥺! Thank you so much for leaving this message, it really helps motivate me to get better when things start to get difficult! I am sending you so much love and strength! Never ever look back❤️
Refeeding is AWFUL I started recovery two years ago, and I thought I would feel better in a few weeks. Fast forward two years and I'm still struggling with bloating and sweats and gas! Thank you so much for posting this it helps so much to know I'm not the only one x
Refeeding syndrome is extremely dangerous and I had to have daily blood tests and eat a vary tiny amount of very specific foods during the beginning of my recovery and I had to be hospitalized , the meal plan was tiny until my bloods improved, it was a very scary time
Been feeling all the horrid refeeding symptoms still. And wow 4months of this!! Im 1.5 months into recovery and so often thinking I felt better when I was in Ed, but I also don't wanna go through this again, now the 2nd time going through this. It's really does suck.
Oh my goodness last time I was in hospital I got pitting edema, it was so gross. I had a pass and I had to borrow a co-patients shoes because I could not even get my feet into mine. It took at least 2 weeks to subside. It was like trying to walk on jellies. Then of course there is the night sweats, hot and cold flashes, head aches, body aches, sugar crashes , exhaustion, cramps, gas, constipation. Its just a bloody mess. But it is worth it.
omg!! i was put impatient for self-harm and they literally force fed me “normal” amounts of food after coming in not eating anything really and severely abusing laxatives for years, i ended up having a seizure from refeeding syndrome and pitting edema as well 😭 i have yet to find another person whos also experienced this,, thank you random person for making me feel so much less alone 😭😭
You are awesome v& beautiful & knowledgeable & inspiring. I 💞 you tattoos! I totally feel you about the pure hell during recovery ha I thought I was going to die or in fact wanted to die mine was so severe. I had such critical levels of electrolytes & vitamin deficiencies that I was lucky I lived thru it no joke. The "night sweats" omg LOL the worst. Omg it's like going thru puberty all over again. You're right "refeeding" can kill you. The heart is @ such risk. I'm PROUD OF YOU GIRL!
Aww bless you your so lovely and pretty I’m anorexic and I’m going back into a inpatient hospital soon I’ve been referred and I’m in the uk too I’ve been in hospital being tube fed and it so scary but I found this so helpful thank you so much. I also have health anxiety and social anxiety and depression. I’m on antidepressants. I struggleing at moment it horrible but love you your amazing you really are. Lots of love to you xxxx
lauren leigh awww bless you thank you ever so very much that really means a lot to me hun. You are so amazing. Every day is a battle I’m really struggling but I look up to you and your amazing. I’m at my mental health team tomorrow and then my eating disorder team on 9th October so hopefully it will go well. Thank you I won’t give up xxxxx
i’ve been eating 150 cals a day with my ed and want to get up to my maintenance by june but i just found out about referring syndrome and i’m terrified. i’m 5’3 120 lbs so idk if that means i’ll be ok or not
That happened to me with anti depressants! I have never felt so ill it was the most frightening thing, I just came off them and didn't take them (did ring the doctors though 🙈). Could I ask how you coped with not doing activity/walking/moving in the house? It's something I struggle a lot with. Thanks for this really helpful video💛
Haych Chad distraction is key!!! xbox and netflix helped me when i was housebound💛you just need to remember how much crucial healing your body needs to do the extra energy is going to help it so much!! Xxx
lauren leigh thanks! Yes I was going to ask you what your distractions were. I find myself cleaning and moving around probably too much which I need to work on! Thanks x
