My body temperature keeps decreasing and I can't go to the doctor

Yes, I’ve heard eating disorder treatment is not the greatest compared to treatment of other illnesses.

I’ll be honest, another reason I didn’t want to go to the doctor besides no insurance is that I’m afraid they would put me in a treatment facility, and not only would that cost more money, but I really don’t want to go to one.

I want to recover and be happy again, but at the same time I don’t want to recover because I’m absolutely terrified of gaining weight.

I have been on the same psych med for almost 50 years. This med lowers the body temperature.

When I am in good health I get a 97. something. When I get a 99.something, I am really sick, even though the medical workers may not recognize such.

My mother has a naturally lower temperature. Whenever she gets sick her fever is REALLY high though. Around 103 or 104 usually when she’s sick, despite a naturally lower temperature of 97.6 or somewhere around there. As far as I know her temperature has never been below 96° before.
