2022-12-26, Monday - Energy 16% / Sleep 90% / Feeling 80%-ish / nausea 0%, fog 10%
Successes: Side stool while playing cajon 3x4’ was
successful, but
surprisingly backfired with knee pain for 12 hours… And wasn’t really viable for piano.
Doctor Jo for knee pain on youtube helped, plus arnica.
Need to try out viable different playing postures.
New Habits: (20th: 1 more)
5’ worry time (
) 5’ plan time (
), 1-2h me time (
)
Back: More exercises (
) hanging
massager (
) HWB (
), typing lying on front (
)
B-supps after getting up, then back, teeth, praps shaving .
Use daylight lamps in the mornings now it’s darker.
Try taking my antihistamine at 18:00.
Bed earlier. (

Note thoughts and emotions (ACT) (

Update “supps” below!
Today’s symptoms sorted by the ACR 2016 criteria
Widespread pain, WPI = 11 of 19 areas: limb-Ache 8 (10-20%, stiff 10-30%) + spine-pain 3 (10-20%), shoulder-girdles/hips 0 chest / abdomen / jaw 0
Symptom severity, SSS = severity 9 of 12: Fatigue 3 (84%), insomnia 3 (10%), fog 2 (10-20%), headache 0 (0%), GI 1 (10-20%), depression 0
Triggers & resulting Symptoms
JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) → MCAS / histamine:
Today: “10%” altogether = 20% energy for under 45’, then white lips & pale face
Night ‘histaminey’ problems: ?8:00-?10:00 (with +.25g GABA): nostrils ?15% nauseous 0-?15-10% stomach 0-?20% sinuses 0-?10-0% headache ?0% sore throat ?20%.
Day condition: Nausea 0%, white lips 30%, pale face 30%, “ill ache” off and on 0%, sliding around indoors (stiffness, fatigue & nausea) 10%, cold intolerance (cold shower yes, but long johns day and night, plus hoodie at night) 30%.
Tendencies:
Nov 17th 15:00 breaking down ‘ill’.
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.
“WINNING” 2nd - 6th: 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.
“LOSING”: Dec 7th-8th: Losing TT & energy, but praps cos of too little sleep? However burning tongue from white beans = histamine…
“WINNING” 9th-14th: 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!
“LOSING” 15th-21st…: 15th: Losing 2:4 and 16th 0:5, maybe doing too much, too little sleep, missed 1 small GABA dose. 17th 1:3, hurting from game 2, despite sleeping more. 18th 2:4, hurting early again.
“WINNING” 22nd to 24th winning roughly 3:1, 25th 2:2(?)
Treatments: Antihistamine, and extra GABA from Nov 29th.
SLEEP (click for details): 7h02, up 3x (30'), 6h deep ✅ ➔ Feeling 90-80% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅, getting up: 80%/1 ✅. Nostrils 10% stuffy 50% of the night. So strange that I keep feeling awake after 7h but still not tired enough in the evenings.

Jaw: Hardly & seldom pain since Nov.
Treatments
Bloods at cardio Dec 9th: Homocystein a bit high, continue B3 and B2, phosphate not that bad. Leukocytes low! CK, muscular, too high, praps fibro?
Alternative health practitioner Dec 6th+20th: Tried nothing new yet.
Chinese Acupuncturist - Session #32 on Nov 4th., after 14 days “Energy still pretty stable at 20%, despite jab-nausea…”, now it’s down from that so often that I tried #33 22nd Dec. Wasn’t worth it: No improvement, sleep too short.
3rd jab on Nov 7th…
After successfully twisting my leg/back to the side on a small stool whilst playing cajon I had quite strong knee pain. First physio youtube video on knee pain in this case by Doctor Jo immediately helped with the first treatment - once again… - doing the others (adapted a bit) to make sure tho,

Supps Nov 27th (45 supps): Supp costs:~421€/m (27th): 26th: Forgot C-supps till 13:40, so ate a bit and am postponing the next meals as well, which ended in bladder pain in the evening. 24th Dec: Need rutin (Big A.) again, of the practitioners recommendations 1) probably not ordering masterwort / Imperatoria ostruthium. 2) ordering Hexacyl (Sulfur D4, Lycopodium Ø, Berberis Ø), 3) following/parallel Bitter herbs, 4) Steirocall comp. (for "arthrosis" & bones) 5) upping pantothenic acid from 2 to 3, 6) instead of getting the glutathion activator of which I'm already taking almost everything in more fitting doses except manganese now new: B9 as 5-MTHF and upping MSM in Feverfew slowly from 1 to 3. But reducing glutathion 4x250 to 1, and before meals like it says everywhere else, not after like it says on this tub. 7) instead of taking Pro Mucosa by Tisso I prefer to add at most biotin (B7) and for the intestines the (fig) enzyme ficin (some say similar to pepsin & trypsin), altho I only reacted to enzymes like NADH & serrapeptase for a few doses, but I already take everything else in it. 8) Received & taking chlorella. Dec 12th I think it was I finally sorted out: Vit.C not with copper, so Cu in the evenings and vit. C the meals before, New idea: Creatine? ATP again, encapsulated, for phosphate??
