Hi Isabelle, thank you for your response.
The reasons I am referring to are to do with my weight mainly. I am 5'11" and weigh just over 9st - a weight which I have not been able to move away from since I was around 18. I don't have an especially healthy diet - I like sugar and fatty foods too much - and the only exercise I do is walking around the shop where I work all day. I eat all the wrong foods and yet never ever put weight on. I also have anaemia, which I was diagnosed with when I was 13, heavy and very painful periods, which I have always had, and struggle with sleep problems. I always feel very lethargic and get migraines very frequently. I don't know if the weight issue could be due to the fact that I might simply have a fast metabolism but from reading some of the posts on here I feel that all of these things may be connected.
I have often wondered if my small chest could be because I haven't developed properly and this forum has highlighted this thought. I have looked on the Tanner scale and have placed myself at stage 2 which, for a 21 year old is not normal. I am seriously thinking of making a doctors' appointment to discuss this!!
Do you have any thoughts??
