A Letter to My Dad
Dear Dad,
I need your advice. A had a doctor's appointment yesterday. He agreed my hand was fine now, that it might have been a tendon that was out of place before. He did raise some other concerns, though; which I need your input about. He said I am underweight and that he wants me to gain ten punds. He thinks I have an eating disorder and wanats me to see a counselor about anorexia. He doesn't understrand, and I am being completely honest with you. I don't have an eating disorder. I just have an obsessive personality. I didn'ttell himthat, but you know that about me, don't you? I don't want to gain ten pounds.
Also, I haven't had my period in several months. The first time I saw (the doctor), he didn't sound concerned. He said lots of women who exercise stop having their periods. This time, he told me that the reason I haven't had them is because my exercising and diet caused a chemical imbalance in my body (and brain).
Not having a period anymore, diet and smoking, could cause osteoporosis later in life. I'mnot really worried about the not being able to have children part, because I don't want children.
I asked him if there were any other vitamins I could take that would help me., and he suggested B-6 and B-12, but I know that's usually part of the picture..
Please tell me what you theink about all of this. I need a second opinion, and I trust your judgement.
Thank you,
Joy
