My question is; how long do the effects of bulimia take to affect someone generally? and would they not be able to play well in sports anymore?

Most of the weak and frail-ness comes from anorexia, though. I've been throwing up for about a month, and my psychiatrist could already tell problems with my teeth. blessedbeaut8 Posted at 6:31 pm on June 18, 2008 who knows? i know when i did it, i had a major headache xsnortingxashesx Posted at 6:31 pm on June 18, 2008 After a while, sports would be impossible. Bulimics, however, are able to sustain a picture of normality, weight wise, longer than anorexics. KatieMD Posted at 6:30 pm on June 18, 2008 idk.. google it All 13 previous replies displayed.
