Trying to get bulimia under control. But anytime I go a day without purging, my salivary glands swell up, and I look like a freak. Only thing to alleviate this-- and make them go down-- is to purge food. This really bothers me, and I've kept myself in this cycle for several reasons, but this being a big one.

Anyone know how long it might take for the swelling to go down if I did not continue this awful thing? Thanks.

ah hugs... i can't give an answer since i'm anorexic, but do you have insurance and can go to the doctor? if not, you might be able to talk to someone thru community health to find out how long your glands will be swelled... good luck
