I hadn't thought about my Doc worrying about eating disorder and didn't know stims could affect appetite. When Doc first asked about weight changes I told her I don't know, don't own a scale because my weight has always been the same.
My daughter was watched closely in high school because she barely made the 100lb mark and all they see her do is pig out in the cafeteria. She complained I don't buy enough food and some actually believed this. My teenagers are bottomless pits, grocery costs for us high-metabolites are not to be envied!Oh yeah, I do get the "poor baby" response too, or "you must be a healthnut nut and exercise 24/7". I used to be a total couch potato and now do strengthening for problems resulting from spinal damage.
Thanks for pointing out the Doc's view, I'm a Greenhorn in the field.
