Just thought I’d drop you a note to say not to worry about your anorexia. Loss of appetite alone is no biggie especially if it’s short term and not accompanied by weight loss. There are obviously plenty of factors that influence appetite aside from serious disease. Also at your age any form of malignancy is vanishingly rare. Indeed the problem with this blog is that those who read blogs are generally the wrong age to be worried about these conditions. Furthermore – to counter the obvious: better safe than sorry – the growing ranks of the ‘worried well’ or ‘google-doctors’ are can suck up a lot of health care resources and make themselves psychologically worse of: bit like a reverse placebo effect.
