ED refeeding and no menses

[Guest guest]

I have been working with a highly motivated client in her recovery from

Anorexia. She had a regular menstrual cycle upon beginning treatment and the

refeeding process despite underweight status and history of loss of menses at

times of worsened restrictive patterns.

She has successfully gained ~20# and eating very regularly, however has noted

that her menses stoppedover the past 3 months, despite weight improving &

stabilizing. Has also stopped regular marijuana use & cigarette smoking over

past 5 months.

Any thoughts about what else might be going on? I'm considering PCOS, but

nothing else really indicating this is a factor..

Thanks in advance for any insight!
