New Habits: Click for details of those I'm still working on. Added 8th: cold foods out of fridge 2h before eating. 12th: Wondering how I can entice myself to write down some thoughts and emotions once a day, but maybe I do this enough on the forums anyway.
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 before 23:30, as I now always wake up 8:30/9:00, regardless. ()
Note thoughts and emotions (ACT)

Triggers & resulting Symptoms
JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) causing MCAS / histamine problems, esp. energy narrowed to 15-20%. 12th: Needing one hot water bottle again at night. Lips even paler after the tooth cleaning. No tongue burning after DAO/red beans.
JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) → MCAS / histamine since end of Dec: 15-20% energy for under 45’, then white lips & pale face. But if I keep strain down to ‘half speed’ (70%) I can push on thru for hours - with a few breaks and lots of task-switching. Not that much specifically histaminey problems since end of Dec, occasionally sinuses and nausea, no more ill ache. Usually white lips & face 30%, and some sliding instead of walking indoors 10%, bit more cold intolerance 30% (long johns 24/7, 2 thick duvets at night). From Jan on, bit warmer (5-12° C), I’ve swapped long johns for a 2nd pair of pyjama trousers at night and when I’m pretty active at daytime sometimes no long johns, but when out slow cycling/walking. And don’t need hot water bottles any more, whether I can manage a cold shower (usually) or not.
Development summarized: Down: Nov 17th - Dec 1st, worst 17th-18th, best 20th & 29th. Up: Dec 2nd-6th, Down 7th-8th, Up: 9th-14th, best 13th-14th: Winning easily 4:0, and slow energy for 4h! Down: 15th-21st 7 days, Up 22nd to 24th winning roughly 3:1, Unsure: 25th-31st: TT 2:2 or no play possible: 25th 2:2(?), (26th 0), 27th: 2:2, (28th 0 - ordered supps, not cellar), Down: 1st-2nd. Up: 3rd, Down: 4th. Up: 5th.
Unsure: 6th. Sinuses after 80g of baked beans, but not a 2nd time after 70g whilst having taken my antihistamine again, after the 3rd time tongue burning (left side) → for 12h → 24h,… plus eating half? a walnut at 2 by accident, my tongue tip started burning a few minutes later too. 7th: Up (TT 5:1) until flustered by having to get something to the post, making art exhibition very difficult, better after rest.
8th: First down (TT 3:0), then OK-ish - de-cluttering etc. slowly for 4-6h. 9th: Unsure, seemed OK. 10th: 1 DAO allowed 120g of baked beans and half a walnut without tongue burning. 11th: Ache all over, lips white. 1 DAO allowed 120g of red beans with only a bit of tongue burning. 12th: Needing one hot water bottle again at night. Lips even paler after the tooth cleaning. No tongue burning after DAO/red beans.
Treatments: Antihistamine, and extra GABA from Nov 29th. Stopping the antihistamine at the turn of the year quickly caused sleep problems.

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.
