Question
hi holly, i hope you remember me. i took your advise and made my first phone call. i am now being evaluated at radar hospital and i am getting help from my insurance company. i guess i just needed that little push and for someone to tell me it needs to be done now. what do you know about this hospital. is it good.

Answer
I'm so sorry that it has taken me a few days to get back to you!

Unfortunately, I live in Scotland, so do not know much about the treatment facilities in America!  I do know, however, from my time spent on the message boards at somethingfishy.org that it is a good programme.  Have you searched it on the net?  If not, I suggest that you do, and maybe go yourself to the message boards I mentioned!  Ask the people there if they have had experiences in the programme!  They are also there to give you support!  Please consider them!

Expertise

I am a medical student and have suffered from anorexia and bulimia myself, I am willing to answer questions based on my own experiences. My advice, however, should not be used as a substitute for that of a qualified medical professional.

Experience

I suffered from anorexia from the age of about 10. By the age of 13 I was suffering from bulimia. Now after 10 years of suffering from an eating disorder, I feel that I can say that I'm well on my way with recovery and would just like to be able to share what I have learned with those in similar situations!
