2023-01-31, Tuesday - Energy 13% - depressed for a change… Miss our balcony magpie, Jacob, who’d lost half his tail, so like the one on this photo, and so couldn’t fly particularly well. RIP (probably…) 
Maybe that’s another reason why I haven’t much appetite atm. And: Sold something on eBay for the first time, sent it, now nervous, hope they don’t cheat me - quite a bit of stress, which is dangerous, dunno if it’s worth it, bit of an exciting adventure tho.
Sleep 90% / Feeling 80%-ish / nausea 0-10%, fog 10%
New Habits: Click for details of those I'm still working on. Last change 14th: deleted B-supps & earlier antihistamine & leg stretches and turned daylight lamp & back exercises & teeth into reminders, leaving (reduced) 4: bed, ACT, stretches & cold food out.
Bed 23:30-8:30/9:00. (
)
Note thoughts and emotions (ACT) ()
More leg stretches. ()
Cold foods out of fridge 2h earlier than eating. ()
Today's FM symptoms unchanged from WPI 11 & SSS 9, except....: SSS +1 for a short bout of depression (30%), so doesn't really count as that, just don't want to fog it over (click for details)
Today’s symptoms sorted by the ACR 2016 criteria
Widespread pain, WPI = 11 of 19 areas: limb-Ache 8 (10%, stiff 10%) + spine-pain 3 (10%), shoulder-girdles/hips 0 chest / abdomen / jaw 0
Symptom severity, SSS = severity 9+1=10 of 12: Fatigue 3 (87%), insomnia 3 (10%), fog 2 (10%), headache 0 (0%), GI 1 (10%), depression 1 (40%)
Triggers & resulting Symptoms
JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) causing MCAS / histamine problems, esp. energy narrowed to (10-)15-20%. 26th: Tongue & muscles better again, but pain & fatigue. 25th: Burning tongue after evening olives. Sore buttock (& leg) muscles like after the jabs since 23rd. 22nd: no tongue, try more pecans, praps with DAO before? Lips still very white.
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, 4th. Up: 3rd, 5th. Both: 6th-11th - sinuses, tongue, lips, runny, DAO helping. Cold: 12th. 13th: GI: HP supps? 14th: B3-Flushing up!? 15th: Runny nose, 16th-21st & 25th-26th…: Tongue off and on. 23rd-25th: Sore buttock (& leg) muscles like after the jabs since 23rd. 26th: Cold, pain & fatigue, energy from 18% to 10% since 19th. Triggers tooth cleaning and moving out. 27th: Bad. 28th: Bad to better. 29th: OK, considering. 30th: No burning after 200g baked beans, but a bit, later, after then another 50g, short colon sting praps from the tomatoes, no stronger urge from them tho.
Treatments: Antihistamine, and extra GABA from Nov 29th. Stopping the antihistamine at the turn of the year quickly caused sleep problems.

Treatments
Click for details on bloods (Dec 9th), practitioner ideas (last on Dec 20th), acupuncture (last on Dec 22nd). Last started masterwort (warily) and Hexacyl on Jan 6th - low & slow. 13th: Unsure if the stomach problems are from those two, so stop-start to see. 16th: again feel 2x2 drops is too much, stomach problems. 17th: 2x1 drop, 2x OK, praps a bit. 19th: 1-2x1 drop each again apparently too much (nausea).
Bloods at cardio Dec 9th: Homocysteine a bit high, continue B3 and B2, phosphate not that bad. Leukocytes low! CK, muscular, too high, praps fibro?
Alternative health practitioner (“Heilpraktiker”) on Dec 6th+20th: Jan 6th: Started masterwort & Hexacyl, lower than recommended (2x1 drop each), adding 1/d. 9th: Further research after reply to take manganese and vit. E. 13th: Unsure if the stomach problems are from those 2, so stop-start to see. 16th: again feel 2x2 drops is too much, stomach problems. 17th: 2x1 drop, 2x OK, praps a bit. 19th: 1-2x1 drop each again apparently too much. 25th I don’t feel like taking “her” powders at the moment (fungi & chlorella don’t taste good, roasted pumpkin seeds sometimes yes), lost some fun in eating, need to reclaim that. 26th: nauseous after masterwort. 27th-30th OK after masterwort.
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.

(for “arthrosis” & bones) (& umckaloabo). Not at all sure about any of these, after 3 weeks of Hexacyl, #4 bitter herbs when Hexacyl bottle is finished, #5 more B5 now, #6 “glutathione activator” → upping MSM, selenium, and have asked if manganese and vit. E are important. #7 Pro Mucosa: added Hericium, can’t increase glutamine, asked back about ficin and biotin, #8 Chlorella, #9 B9 as 5-MTHF for homocysteine.
