Thanks Chocolate! I have some potasium pills that I WAS taking after purging, but had stopped. I will start taking them again. I have a doctor's appt today. I might mention something to her today about the purging, but I don't know if I want to do that. I just don't want to call attention to it - and i think I'm a little self-conscious that I don't look like I have an eating disorder. Like I should be smaller before I say anything to a doctor about it at all. I know that's not right, but I've been feeling more and more like that.

Oh something else that I noticed recently, is that my face got really really swollen after I purged. I figured that was just another symptom of whatever was making my feet cramp up. Because my feet cramped up after the same purge when my face got really swollen. Would a potassium deficiency make my face swell too??

Thanks for all of your help and caring about me. I really appreciate all of the times that you've helped me out here. I have not purged in almost two weeks now. So I have not been cramping as much, but have still had a little cramping in my feet..
