So I take around 20-30 lax everyday, and have been for around 6 months.
But I've experienced something really weird which is tricky to explain.
I feel like jittery, and keep flinching, and it feels like my heart needs to have a jump to get it beating normally again... would this be an affect from taking them?

alternatively you could wait a bit longer and have to be fitted with a colostomy bag for the rest of your life.
you have probably lost most of the vital minerals and salts you need and your heart can't cope. low potassium --> heart palpitations --> heart failure --> death.
I was just about to reply with the same; but omg hi got there first. You lose electrolytes through purging which cause all kinds of problems, including with your heart. More info here: http://www.bulimiahelp.org/book/about-bulimia/electrolyte-imbalance-and-bulimia
Please get some help *hug*
Thank you *hug*
From what I remember from other threads, Becki (?) knows about your eating, right?
Yeah, Becki knows about my eating, and use of lax etc etc
I won't have a heart attack...
Is there anyone else near where you are now that knows about this and you could talk to?
I know how difficult this is, but how would you feel about calling NHS Direct or going to a walk in centre? Are you at least taking vitamins?
I'll call them if it gets worst... but it's okay at the moment, doesn't feel like anything is wrong.
No, I don't.
NOTE: I am not encouraging you to keep purging, but more to limit damage, okay?
