MTP second time/OCD

I am tkaing the MTP every other day. The first day was rough, made me feel numb, but my skin would buzz a bit. I got neaseaous [how many vowels could be in that word. I know that is not right, but it is kind of how I felt. sort of "aaoeeeooaueaaa"].

This is the second day with the stuff in my system. So far so good. I am getting weird blood sugar irregularites, but that might be becuase I am eating eggs during the day and not almonds. Recently, the almonds have left me feeling terrible.

So, I wanted to try a little experiment. The PTC says that histideliacs are prone to OCD, but histapenia shows up as obsessions wihtout compulsions. I turn this to you: What is the difference? If you follow this blog, and have input, I would love to hear from you on this one.

M,

From my understandings of this disease, obsessions are pure thoughts, repeated over and over (usually focused on your worst fear, phobia, or other taboo item.) There is no conscious process in stopping these thoughts, and it seems the more one focuses on the thought, the more one will obsess over it.
A compulsion is an action, or a group of actions, performed systematically to quell an internal anxiety to commit that said action.
Why the two can be distinguished by methylation and histamine levels is for the PTC to figure out....
