I've been on diet for 2 and a half years now, and I eat every 2 hours to speed up my metabolism....Having to eat every 15minutes sounds like a nightmare...Best wishes for this girl I hope doctors can find a cure. | ||

Much respect for this girl, because she doesnt lose her confidence in herfself and her will to live! Seeing stuff like that makes me think that the usual struggles I face in everday life are not that hard anyways and that I should man up more often. | ||

Most emo people are use to being spoiled and having anything they want their whole lives. And when they dont get what they want or life gets a little hard, they whine and cry about it. If your born tough and have to be tough the whole time. you dont grow up neglecting the things you can do and have. This is just my opinion. | ||

The girl makes the best out of her life, which is good for her. I'd probably not have the same persistence to live life if I was like that. So It's great she can. I just don't like the pictures. | ||

It would be nice to have had a proper doctor explain these conditions and why certain methods don't work. Then again that wouldn't be news. To put it simple: With i.v. feeding you circumvent the entire digestive system - something the body has a pretty hard time coping with. It is also incredibly hard to avoid infections in an i.v. line which in such a case as hers would most likely equal a deathsentence... EDIT: Just to mention one of the simpler problems: The pancreas releases more insulin when you get glucose orally than when you get it through an i.v. line - this is called the incretin effect. This happens because the pancreas actually reacts on the mere thought of being about to eat (roughly speaking obviously), but you circumvent this mechanism when using an i.v. line. And to the guy who said she couldn't go through surgery: She can, one would just have to put her on a ventilator and in a complete coma. The only reason for the 8 hour rule is to avoid aspiration - but if you put her on a ventilator you can block all acces to her lungs so aspiration becomes a non-issue. To make a parallel: when a traumapatient is recieved, you don't wait 8 hours before you operate if said patient needs an operation But you are right, it's definatly not optimal... | ||

It isn't a pretty sight to see, i understand that she is still a human being, but still...not a pretty sight. On-topic: this is horrible for her, how does she sleep? I think that i wouldn't be able to live life like that, seriously. | ||

But other than that, she seems to make the best out of her life. She does not lock herself in like I feel like doing most of the time with my healthy body, she can speak well, and she seems very charismatic and intelligent. | ||
