Answers:
I had anorexia and bulimia from the age of 17 - 28. I went from 11 stone to 6 stone in 5 months and had a nervous breakdown at the age of 19.
My periods stopped for a year, but started to go back to normal when my doctor put me on the pill (to induce false periods) and increase levels or Oestrogen because my bones were thinning and becoming brittle.
My hair started to fall out at the age of 20 and the enamel on my teeth started wearing away.
I lost most of my muscle mass and couldn't walk properly, and got a very strange layer of fine hair all over my body (the doctor said this is a usual occurrence when an anorexic body is trying to keep it's self warm).
At the age of 25, I had a fertility test and was warned that I may be infertile, and I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis.
I'm 30 now and feel I am in a stage of recovery that may prevent me falling back into old habits. I've came off the pill 6 months ago and am pleased to be having normal periods, and would like to try for a baby in the next few years.
I studied nutritional and herbal medicine for 2 years which helped a great deal and am marrying the most wonderful man in the world june next year; this is the biggest thing that stops me getting wrapped up in dangerous, irrational obsessions again.
Anorexia and bulimia are horrific diseases that take a long time to heal.
It would be good if you could get in touch with your friend again; you obviously think about her a lot. Hope she's ok and good luck with your project. Health Question & Answer

Im sure it comes back when you put weight back on most of the time,
There are loads effects of anorexia that are easily noticed. If the person isnt eating, then you dont give your body the energy to go about normal day to day things. The effects of anorexia can include laziness, depression, not ability to focus, and hardly any strength. People who are anorexic may look drawn and haggard all the time, even if they have had a full nights sleep. Another effect of anorexia is moodiness. Because there bodies cant stabilize their blood sugar levels, anorexics often have funny mood turns.
-Your hair gets thin and brittle because of no nutrients
-Kidney stones, kidney failure.
-Weak muscles and bones
I got this from a website; Some women, who aren't underweight, but who stop getting their periods during times of extreme exercise and erratic eating, regain their period once they get back into a routine of healthy eating and exercise habits.Health Question & Answer
