Nov 18th, directly before getting up, energy suddenly down from 20 to 10%.
Nov 20th: energy and well-feeling picked up again, despite often overdoing it a bit.
Nov 23rd: Before I was winning at table tennis all the time, from now clearly losing all the time, except 29th. But ~20% energy is there for up to 45’, then I break down with green-grey face & white lips thru activities incl. socializing.
Dec 2nd-4th: Winning TT, playing easily, 5 games (with break, very cold), since then 4-5 games every day, winning most.
Dec 6th: 1.5h appointment, 2.5h grandchild, 2x40’ garden (slow), TT moderate.
Dec 7th-8th: Losing TT & energy, but praps cos of too little sleep? However burning tongue from white beans = histamine…
9th ff: TT winning again.
11th midday, 12th ff: Winning, but overall in bad condition.
13th-14th: Winning easily 4:0, and slow energy for 4h!

ToDo: RSM webinars on lipids Nov 15th, supps on Dec 2nd - still need to get round to that, the fibro webinar transcripts and the MCAS summit before that, as well as reading Murphree’s fibro book, might get a newer edition of that.
Lessons in self-care #507 Pee frequency is high, now I’m drinking even more… very annoying when I’m outside.
Reasons to be cheerful #541 Again managed a lot in SloMo.
