Ali had a rough night; she'd just arrived in New York after driving all night long. She was in such a good mood yesterday she'd finally confessed her feelings to Emily. She wanted to stay in Rosewood and bask in her early relationship bliss a little longer, but she finally heard back from most of the doctors she'd called in too. She didn't want to burden Emily with this until she knew herself what was going on with her body. She was also a little scared of the results of what it would mean for her and their relationship. Emily had been there for her throughout this entire hellish pregnancy even before it was discovered that the babies were hers.
Ali walked down the New York street the next day going in and out of doctors' offices for 2 days straight. No one could give her a definite diagnosis. She was starting to loses hope. Her self-esteem had been fluctuating with her moods and hormones for weeks.
She'd been gaining weight since she was released from prison. She thought it was just the prison food or her depression was back. She even though she just might have caught something from jail all her test came back negative back then. So, she just ignored it hoping
to get her weight under control in time by dieting and exercising more.
She also kept herself distracted from it over the next 5 years with Charlotte and work. Ali did do some unorthodox treatment even before she got Married to Archer, like retreats, acupuncture, consultation for surgery etc.
Her unorthodox treatment methods went on pause when she checked herself into Welby. Thats when she'd discovered everything about Elliot and Charlotte, but Ali picked herself back up started all over again. She first detox herself with chinese teas, acupunture, and a spa detox to flush all the drugs out of her system.her body was even more out of Wack than before. Her weight fluctuation kept increasing and decreasing at random. So she finally took the plunge and saw her doctor he called every doctor and specialist he could find for her. Ali also did some research. They both compiled thier lists and narrowed it down to 10 specialists. She called them all and made Mutiple appointments. Every time she had to leave her friends and Emily she was at another appointment.
Alison started her Doctor visits. The first 10 were a bust. She still had 5 more doctors left on
the list they were all in new York. They were all starting to say the same thing. Asking her if she exercises, what does she eat, accusing her of not taking care of herself, binging, and eating junk food 24/7. Alison just about had enough she let her inner bitch out at the last doctor. When He asked her " seriously , now how many fast-food places do you eat at a day." Ali saw red and she finally blew her top. Ali said "What is Dr. Farrow, I looked you up before I came here. You have a spotty record for couple of years
after college. And then there was incident with your ex-wife. Points for not being cliche and cheating on her with your sorority brother. I heard your adopting soon. I bet child services would love to know more about you. Maybe an anonymous letter gets dropped
off a week before your appointment." The doctor goes white as a sheet. He apologizes and promises to send my extended labs to a top facility in the city free of charge.
