Never occured to me until I happened on that book. I always thought of OCD as the extreme cleaning or can't step on cracks sort of thing. I never thought of my gory, tormenting, repetitive thoughts that are happening during "anxiety attacks" as OCD. But I read that book "Tormenting thoughts and Secret Rituals" and it fit perfect as far as those thoughts and the feelings of me going crazy because of them. It fits that perfectly. The question now is what about those physical symptoms? Are those OCD or are they something else all together.
Like I said before, I actually got into a fight with the Pdoc today over demanding an eeg. I want to rule out things that could be more serious but because I saw a neurologist in 2002 and had an MRI done and it came back normal, he thinks no other tests need to be done. Whatever!
SOMEBODY TELL ME IF YOU KNOW OF ANY TESTS THAT ARE WORTH DOING FOR ME!
DID I MENTION THAT I GO TO A TEACHING HOSPITAL (well known and good one) AND THIS IS A 3rd YEAR RESIDENT (my pdoc) that says he has to see 3 different supervisors that go over his clinical work every week? I thought this was a good thing since he was a resident he would have time to work on my case and I would have essentially more than one doctor working on my diagnosis.
