Scientific Progress

Medics once diagnosed girls
  who'd pick at their food as anemic

Advances in medicine conclusively show
  that all along they were anorexic-bulimic

So anemia and blaming the food you dont eat, because you supposedly cant get it down is evidently today known either anorexic or bulimic - a thought provoked write Gershon! Hugs, Jennifer.

You're right...Just like 'restlessness' is now almost always diagnosed as 'ADHD.' :) gw

So scary! Someone once confided only to me they were bolemic. Scared me so much I had to put the phone down!
