Your #43. Where did you find that there was a problem with her menstrual cycle. If she was anoerexic, that can happen sometimes.

There is a good article here (worldmag.com): "Shortly after receiving the malpractice money, Mr. Schiavo moved Mrs. Schiavo from the Mediplex rehab facility to Sabal Palms nursing home. There, he added a "Do Not Resuscitate" order to his wife's medical record and in July directed caregivers to withhold from her antibiotics needed to treat a urinary tract infection. He knew, he later said in a deposition, that his wife would likely develop sepsis—poisoning of the bloodstream—and die. Nursing home employees refused to comply, saying such an act would be illegal."

It is interesting to note that her feeding tube was removed before but ordered reinstated.

Actually, it is a leap that a lot of the press took that she was anorexic because of her menstrual problems.

Terri was overweight in high school, but eventually lost the weight. At one point after she got married she started to put on weight again. Apparently she got some ribbing from people and dropped back to 120# before her "collapse" and her cycle went haywire.

Her Mom told me she was not anorexic. The period/new gynecologist thing came from Mom, too, according to other folks at the vigil.
