Reduction in / loss of ED side effects

I am just wondering if anyone has any advice on how long it takes for side effects of ED to reduce/disappear? I know this obviously varies depending on severity of ED, type of side effect, person etc but I am specifically interested in the side effect of getting a layer of fine hair over your body and how long this takes to go away?

I am finding improvements in a lot of areas - mentally (don't count calories, dont get as anxious about eating in general, more comfortable with fear foods and higher volumes of food etc) and physically (better complexion, generally fuller and healthier looking body, higher energy levels, hunger cues, not as cold etc).

I would just be interested to hear others experiences with recovery timeframes for different aspects.

I have had an ed on and off for 14 years and right now it is the best I have ever been weight and mentally wise. I think in the past and present things have varied. It depended on where I started and how depleted and damage I did. Also how commited I was to recovery and consistent. This time I really stayed consitent and ate a very high calorie diet and did not try to control things and be just "better" like the past. Mentally I have my struggles for sure and have a lot of anxiety but also have been working on changing life things rather then just the weight/food. The physical is number 1 but one also had to work on things like social,hobbies,school etc. Everyone is going to be different in the time it takes of course. Just keep strong

Alright, here's a list of physical symptoms I've had and that have gone away:

Lanugo - still disappearing. It started going away after I got to eh, maybe 95lbs? At least on my face. The rest of my body still had it then. After the facial lanugo went, the lanugo from my shoulders disappeared. And I recently noticed the lanugo on my chest is gone as well. Its probably been gone for a month or two though. I think total, its taken about 5 months for it to all disappear. 

Thinning and falling out hair: My hair is so, so much better now. It started getting visibly thicker and healthier in January, but it has improved 10 fold since then. 

Dizziness: This got better after just a few weeks of eating sufficiently every day. Still happened occasionally right upon waking for a bit until I was at a better weight. 

Immense cold: I still get chills from time to time, but this got better after I increased my calories up to 3600. And also as I got over the 100lb mark. So that took about 7 to 10 months.

As far as mentality goes, its been so cumulative that it makes it hard to give specifics.  It took me a long time to really challenge myself with eating certain foods, but it got better and easier over time. I stopped feeling guilty after eating by March. Stopped worrying about ho many grams of this or that I was eating in May. Got over my fear of eating out around April. I still occasionally feel self conscious about how much I have to eat, but thats mainly because at school I'm surrounded by girls who never eat and make remarks about my massive snacks and how its not fair that I'm still so skinny. I can mostly shrug off any commentary that I get about what I eat, but that one still really bugs me at times.

for me its been up and down in my recovery but at the moment i feel the strongest i have ever felt.i think alot of the mental aspect depends very much on the individual and there determination to get better. just by my improved nutrition ive noticed alot of things i dont get as tired or as cold and i dont feel as fragile . a big thing for me is my bloods have been really off and in the last week they have suddenly started to get better my liver levels are normal , this is the first time ever it also makes me feel more positive that im actually starting to repair also the last bone scan showed my hip bone dentisty had improved which proves that bones can repair . the biggest change for me mentally came when i started to take responsibility for my own recovery and not rely on others

For me, it was virtually immediate. On days I would eat more or enough, I found I had tons more energy and was in an infinitely better mood [I was totally bitchy during the low points of my ED!]. I was also able to concentrate better and retain more information [previously, I'd either be unable to focus during my last class, which was math, or fall asleep during it]. Some changes happened gradually though--My skin began to feel smoother, my face regained its rosiness, and my hair grew like 3 inches per month for a few months after recovery. Some side effects have unfortunately stayed with me, like sensitivity to cold and dizziness upon sitting/standing up.. Actually, that's kind of always been an issue for me, but it got more severe during my ED and remained that way after recovery. All in all, I felt a million times better (:

Thanks to all for sharing your experiences, it provides great inspiration to see how far you have all come and how much healthier you are all getting. Again, I appreciate it, keep up the great work!
