@AnorexiaMyths Same as RED-S

@OonaHanson There is no single cause. It’s not your fault. They do not respond to logic or reason. There is no quick fix. Recovery is a long haul. Look after yourself. Separate your child from the disorder. Don’t engage with the ED voice. Understand accommodating and enabling behaviours.

[Gill Burnell〓〓 @GillauraB]

@AnorexiaMyths Exactly this. IMO quasi-recovery results from reliance on BMI as marker of illness severity, which rationalises the increasing demand for services.

Reframing is a powerful tool.. and an integral part of #FailingWell

Next time you reflect on a #failure, start with this straightforward question: What happened? Analyzing rather than accusing allows you to chart a path forward (and helps you avoid the shame & blame trap!)

Well that’s an Ealing nursing power house ❤️

Very proud Matron this morning. Well deserved CNO HCSW Awards @LNWH_NHS

This is an honest article about one mum’s experience of having a child with AN. We can argue over language (‘an anorexic’) but it’s good that people talk about this openly.

I'm a doctor, so why can't I help my anorexic daughter? | Daily Mail Online https://t.co/kxTw64Weib

@CaraLisette Because there is only one NHS ED dietician available in our county and the wait is over a year long

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.

I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

@AnorexiaMyths My daughter played her flute and started singing for the first time in over a year.

@AnorexiaMyths This!!! Long term restriction of certain food groups, especially fats / dairy, can enable the BMI to be maintained around the low end of ‘normal’ for a significant time period but manifest all the AN behaviours. No one else can see or believe the catastrophe going on inside.

[Anorexia Myths @AnorexiaMyths]

Just as it’s hard for people with AN to feel heard, it was hard for me as a parent of a child with AN to get people to understand what a catastrophe we were living through.

That’s because, for most of her illness, my d wasn’t desperately thin. She looked almost okay. 1/2

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Also very sorry to read about the communication and systems issues that made your diagnosis more fraught than it should have been. Valuable for all of us working in the NHS to read Mark's full piece:

Things people say to people with eating disorders vs what they hear: 🧵

Lot to unpack here: Restrictions on prescription-only drugs on the stroke unit were "so lax" that staff would "help themselves and self-medicate or steal drugs to supply to others" https://t.co/4sA4Wg2RAT

[Phil Wilson @ph_wilson1]

@alisonleary1 @Marktheliverdoc It re-enforces why the terms 'medically fit' or 'criteria to reside' are not really that helpful. Consistent care organisation performed by nurses, 24/7 x 365 supports patient safety/flow but is largely unrecognised by 'activity/acuity monitoring tools' and therefore less valued.
