See Dr??: Who diagnosed you with an eating disorder? Would that have been a dr? Or someone licensed to diagnose? If so they would or should have recommended you a dr that deals with eating disorders as many disorders can have potentially severe effects on your overall health. Please follow up asap.

Not an emergency: Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. It is common for women with an eating disorder to lose their periods. If you are sexually active, please run a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. Otherwise set up an a appointment to discuss this with your doctor at your earliest convenience. www.women-health-info.com/510-anorexia-amenorrhea.html amenorrhea is a common symptom of anorexia - causes and mechanism.
