I think I have some undermethylation tendencies as well as I have OCD and get suicidal at times.
Symptoms I fit:
-Body Hair - I don't seem to have much given my age and male gender (22 years old)
-Anxiety tendencies where you're calm on outside but anxious on inside - When I get anxious, I appear relatively calm on the outside as if there's nothing wrong with me, but on the inside, I'm in turmoil, and I'm full of fear and anxiety.
-OCD Tendencies - I have tic syndromes, thought loops, compulsive behaviors, quadruple+ checking, ice-chewing habits
-Perfectionist - I like things to be neat and as perfect as possible. No chewing gum jobs.
-Warm/itchy skin - My skin tends towards warmer side, and I tend to get itchy at times. I have always had a habit of scratching due to itching.
-Low pain toloerance - I never have been able to stand pain. I would always be scared of anything that would produce it.
-Dry Eyes - No. My eyes would tend to get wet easily, esp. around onions and some other things.
-High Academic/Science Accomplishment - I had high academic accomplishment in high school as I took college courses and finished with 50 credit hours. Science/Math was the area that I was always strongest in, and literature/arts was the area that I was weakest in.
-High Motivation - I have always been self-motivated through school and at work
-Few Dental Caries - I never had any fillings except a few when I had baby teeth when a child.
-Low Appetite - My appetite naturally is pretty low.
-I react normally to anti-histamines
-Mood Response to AD's positive - Mood response is positive at lower dosages and/or when dose isn't too high, but I get manic and have cycle acceleration moreso when doses are pushed really high.
-Symptoms when Psychosis Present - Only delusional thinking. I never have nor had auditory or visual hallucinations.
My parents get on to me about the OCD sometimes and state that it's a bad case sometimes. Also, my friends talk about how I have to be perfectionistic about certain things and check over stuff I do more than necessary.However, I wonder if Pyroluria is my primary imbalance, though, as I have the most symptoms of those, like around 90% of them.
I already do take 2:1 Calcium/Magnesium Glycinate which is one of the hallmark supplements for undermethylation. The stuff I take right now for Pyroluria also happens to be beneficial for undermethylated (high histamine) persons.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I also take 3g of Vitamin C per day as part of my supplement regimen.
Also, there was mentioning that undermethylators should avoid Choline/Lecithin.
Well, I took that stuff one time and at pretty high doses. There were claims from pages that it would help with rapid cycling bipolar.
Well, it actually pitched me into a severe depression.
This was back after the 1st week of July. For the preceding two months, I had been doing fairly well on my medications and set of supplements. I was on just 200mg Lamictal by itself.
The Lecithin/Choline-induced depression got pretty bad, and I missed a week of work.
Once it was out of my system, the depression lifted.
Folic Acid as also 'appeared' to be a bugger for me. Everytime, for some reason, when I took it, I would get in these agitated mental fits having negative self-talks. My mother doesn't like me taking Folic Acid anymore.
So, could it be possible that I have some histadelic tendencies as well along with my possible Pyroluria?
