Hi Elizabeth,
I am not a member of ozmid, but access the
archives every few days... I am about to begin
the Bachelor of Midwifery at ACU - hence my interest in ozmid.
I am very interested in your comments recently
about marijuana. You mentioned something about it being used for anorexia. Do
you know where I could find more info on this??? My younger sister, 18, has
been ravaged by this mental illness for 2 years - she is currently seriously
ill, weighing 28 kg's (if we're lucky). Recent bone density tests show
degeneration similar to that of a woman more than 3 times her age. We are
truly desperate. She has seen psychiatrists, counsellors, psychologists,
hypnotherapists, paediatricians, GP's, spent time in hospital, etc, etc. Her
anxiety levels are enormous, she is driven mad by the voices in her head, she
runs 2 hours twice per day, is suicidal, and is now so thin she cannot sit or
lie down or walk without being in agony. She is desperately fighting a losing
battle, and is now close to death. My family is devastated. They will try
anything.
Could you forward this message to ozmid for me (I
cannot post to them, not being a member). If anyone out there knows how I can access more info on marijuana and
anorexia, any studies that have been done, etc, that would be fantastic. My
email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanking you
Janine
