BODY WEIGHT: 132 lb
I've been taking ecstasy on a rather regular basis for the past 6 months or so, sometimes once a week, sometimes 3 times a week (2/3/4 tablets a night). Obviously theres the usual comedown, numbskulled and loss of appetite. I even got a bladder infection after one 4 day bender.

The talk to frank a government funded website that gives honest and accurate information about drugs suggests that 'There’s research to suggest that the exhaustion and dehydration associated with Ecstasy can activate urine infections like cystitis in women.' So that's one mystery solved. But I've found I'm also having trouble eating. This is probably because my stomach has shrunk due to loss of appetite but my diet has changed dramatically. I used to eat whatever I wanted and whenever I wanted and was happy. Now I'm very fussy. I don't want to eat unhealthy food. I only want to eat vegetables and drink tea and smoke fags. The prospect of sweet foods like chocolate is unappealling. I am also eating about a quarter of my usual intake. I feel full very quickly. I'm getting a sensitive stomach to food which isn't cooked properly. I'm throwing up (or wanting to after eating) quite regularly-even after a 3 week break from ecstasy.

To be honest I think I might have a sort of eating disorder. It's quite peculiar. I've lost 4 kilos-almost 9lbs. But I feel fine. I've not heard about this sort of thing as a common side effect. Maybe it's just me but its not like me. I think I will start to going swimming so that at least if I am going to continue dropping weight it's in a healthy manner. This is very unusual for me and is completely unintentional. Perhaps in some way it is a positive consequence if it makes me want to get fit and eat healthily.
