I don't know if you can get this book ...Katie,<br /><br />I don't know if you can get this book in the UK, but it was mentioned in the CNN story called "How Doctors Think" by Jerome Groopman. It was fascinating, and I think you might like it.<br /><br />Cathy,<br /><br />You raise a very good point, that illness misattribution due to weight can go in both directions. Then there's the opposite of that, where illnesses are secondary to the eating disorder but some doctors don't think that the two conditions are related.

But even pre-AN I had many difficulties around eating, food choices, food rituals, emetophobia etc. As a baby I also had continual respiratory tract infections that could not be treated with penicillin due to an allergy. <br /><br />For all of the above reasons the PANDAS data interest me. <br /><br />Having said that, we have a family history of anxiety disorders and ASDs, so my 'issues' may be largely inherent.<br /><br />I will decline to comment on the body image study because I have something of an aversion to body image research...<br /><br />I feel very sorry for people whose physical health problems are automatically attributed to their weight - be their weight be too high or too low. I had illnesses while anorexic which were initially attributed to my anorexia nervosa, but later found to be totally independent of it...Cathy (UK)http://www.youtube.com/user/misstiggykinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-28929079132852446522010-01-25T08:36:37.915-05:002010-01-25T08:36:37.915-05:00Hey!

I've had OCD and a tic disorder since I was very young, and have always wondered if that could have happened to me. I didn't go through anything traumatic until I was 18 and no one else in my family has full blown OCD or any tics. It's an interesting read anyway :)<br /><br />It was sad to read about the woman whose asthma was misdiagnosed - I might have never been overweight but I know how that feels, I've had many physical problems attributed to my mental health history before. It's the same thing really, people take one look at you (or your medical history, as the case may be) and make their minds up before you open your mouth. I guess it's human nature to make snap judgements, but it's wrong to take opinion as fact and unprofessional to let that bleed into treatment of patients. <br /><br />Thanks Carrie!Katiehttp://themilkfreeway.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-50596567187565252662010-01-25T00:39:58.511-05:002010-01-25T00:39:58.511-05:00Your smorgasboard is always so fun to read!Your smorgasboard is always so fun to read!Janehttp://maudsleyparents.orgnoreply@blogger.com
