Most symptoms are at night.
Fri/Sat (26th/27th): 1 of 3 passiflora, 0 apigenin. Pee frequency reduced by 2mg antihistamine from 4 on, causes headache, dry mouth, some (10 → 20%) sinus burning, sore throat, tongue burning and zombification.
Sat/Sun 27th/28th: 0 antihistamine, 1 of 3 passiflora, 0 apigenin. Dry hands will be something else. Generally, the long sleep breaks have “of course” stopped, I think from the zombification. And that’s something additional to the pee frequency. If I could, I’d increase GABA at night, to decrease histamine, but that’s causing stomach problems. Tongue burn starting at 22:00!? (Allergic reaction to grass pollen?)
Sun/Mon 28th/29th 20% antihistamine (I think, I did put in in the box), 1 of 3 passiflora, 0 apigenin. 2:26 not from pee urge, but feeling “sick”, so from heaviest to lightest duvet, leaving window open only caused sore throat quickly, 2:45 not from pee urge, but from dry mouth/+mucus-suffocating-cough. Felt 60%/3, then at 5:05 slightly better with everything 70%/3. Energy down.
Mon/Tue 29th/30th: After managing an early start I got back to the new normal today, but still needed to be extremely slow.
Tue/Wed 30th/31st: Only a little bit of table tennis. A neighbourly get together exhausted me and made me lose appetite, altho I hardly took part.

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) causing MCAS / histamine problems, esp. energy down to (10-)15-20%. May 29th: Only itchy nose, less in the countryside. May 28th: sneezing in the evening while being outside, looking up: grasses (usually only short / one day). May 25th: Sinus headache in the morning, most probably cos of a whole banana in the evening without DAO before. May 19th: yeast spread & tofu despite DAO. May 16th: Soy yogurt & yeast spread: May 6th/7th: Baked beans. May 1st: white beans. Click for developments:

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. 27th: Bad. 28th: Bad to better. 29th: OK, considering. 30th: Foods slightly histamine-y. 31st: Still no appetite. From Feb 3rd on: 10% energy. Cold tolerance good, just not my fingertips. 8th: Bit of tongue after red beans, but OK. Feb 12th 6:00: Stronger histamine-y symptoms and stomach pang. Feb 15th: strong headache evening and night probably from red beans without DAO, praps also the sinus burning. Feb 18th: More energy for the first time. Very red lips, looking inflamed, go white when I press them together. From Feb 19th on: back down to 10% energy, everything else fairly OK, incl. at night, incl. cold tolerance, incl. fingertips, but lips’d be white if they weren’t chapped and inflamed. Feb 24th: Energy up to 14% due to specks of T4. Feb 26th: sinuses upon waking up 9:20… Energy up to 20% from T4. Mar 10th evening: Virus Ache of 5-7, underlying energy seems unchanged 20%. Mar 12th: all Ache und pains decreasing, urge better until I move, but no appetite, nauseous when I do something slightly strenuous, and dry coughing like mad a lot of the time. Mar 13th: Histaminey burnt tongue and feverishness after 1h intense ‘work’ phone call. Mar 16th: Still some histamine rests, but energy vs. histamine like before CoV, praps less stiffness, but less appetite. Mar 23rd still seemingly in the midst of a re-visit of the "CoV symptoms. Mar 24th still severest exhaustion with feverish ache despite energy, appetite increasing, bladder a bit better, cough not sure. Apr 4th: Found out that we’d got CoV from a person who hadn’t taken their’s seriously and hadn’t told us immediately that they had it: grrrrrrrr! Increasing GABA has stopped all bladder problems, but not yet all sinus burning. Apr 11th: CoV-cough and bladder seems to be recovering, T4-temperature/night sweats too, now appetite needs to recover weight… Awake at night 1h and tongue burning for >24h from banana and tuna. Apr 15th Histaminey sinus “cold” 21:00-24:00 after too much concentrated soy products. May 1st: strong histamine symptoms after 100g of washed white beans without DAO. But shows that the recent higher histamine symptoms after CoV have got better. May 16th: Soy yoghurt & yeast veg. spread without DAO. Try again with DAO! Effect: Wide awake at 4, needed extra vagal relaxation to continue sleep, woke up with sinuses and frontal headache for 20h, then also awake at 4/5 the morning of the 17th. Evening of 16th: 2 DAO, continuing that. May 28th: sneezing in the evening while being outside, looking up: grasses (usually only short / one day). May 29th: Only itchy nose, less in the countryside.
Treatments: Antihistamine, and extra GABA from Nov 29th. Stopping the antihistamine at the turn of the year quickly caused sleep problems. May 19th: Tried more yeast spread and some tofu with DAO before, but still got a strongly burning tongue, my sinus burning from talking too much didn’t get more. May 25th: Sinus headache in the morning, most probably cos of a whole banana in the evening without DAO before.

Last focal seizures: May 25th 17:40 & 21:00, maybe from higher histamine and not enough GABA lately, May 14th 9:00 and May 13th 20:00 from stress I think, but I have also reduced the night time GABA praps too much. Apr 16th 13:25, Apr 15th 22:00 (GABA too late plus cold type symptoms = histamine), Mar 31st 19:00 (too little GABA, too strenuous meeting), Jan 15th 10:40 (from a pee urge, only 2nd “wave”).

Jaw: Hardly & seldom pain since Nov. A bit more in Jan. Jan 6th: Slightly psychosomatic from memory of a painful time. Jan 10th: A bit after tooth cleaning. After: regularly a little bit, 1-2x/d. Better since improving tooth care again and giving that side of the jaw a rest from chewing for a few days from Feb on. May 18th (and about a week now, so let’s say from May 10th: 3 tooth problems, like often it seems from food stuck between teeth which I can’t get out. Trying sucking it out with liquid, either almond milk or calendula essence, but it’s stubborn as heck.

May 25th I went to get them, and asked whether this means I don't have cancer, I was told a report will be coming 'soon'. May 24th: onco doc is giving me my reports back without an appt - Apr 24th: Weird, interesting onco appointment, further appt. by next Tuesday at the very latest. Apr 20th: Bloods OK, except PSA: prostate too high, all the more reason to get the cancer check starting Monday 24th. Apr 9th: Night sweats have inside of 2 nights switched over to the opposite extreme: cold, needing full winter bedstuff & sore throat.

Mar 9th: Tea tree oil salve since takes the brunt off the lip hurt. Early March: Antihistamine back up to 10mg to curb T4-insomnia & histaminey symptoms. 3% of a T4 for thyroid Feb 24th till Mar 23rd: more energy, but lost appetite and weight. Feb-bloods: Ω3 needs increasing, much too low.

GP’s antifungal cream for my lips Feb 28th, then Mar 1st tea tree oil cream, helpful, but never quite gone.
3% of T4 Feb 23rd-Mar22nd: Day #4 bit more than the days before: Slower energy, histamine-y sinuses and frontal headache. Decreasing improved all that again.
Bloods Feb 7th: Most (like WBC, B2, phosphate and protein) are better, but still keeping those going, biotin and manganese too high.

‘Research’ today:
Is my stomach hyperacidic or hypoacidic?
What Murphree said is similar on the clevelandclinic-org page about hypochlorhydria. Cleveland Clinic has a functional dept. since 2014, directed by Mark Hyman (had CFS, recommends pegan diet), so the webpage may be a combination of functional and mainstream.
Murphree railed how “potentially dangerous” antacids are for intestinal infections, SIBO, pneumonia, bone fracture and stomach cancer. About reflux he said/wrote: “Are antacids the answer? NO! The esophageal sphincter is stimulated to close by the release of stomach acids. When there’s not enough stomach acid present-the esophageal sphincter may not close properly. This allows acid to travel back up the esophagus and cause heartburn.” Consequences are “indigested protein (leaky gut), amino acid deficiencies, vitamin B12 deficiency, can’t absorb minerals, SIBO, Leaky Gut and reflux”. No stomach acid is achlorhydria.
One of the possible solutions from both sources is taking HCl, so replacing the missing acid - and thus helping the sphincter close. What Murphree adds is: digestive enzymes if erosion, replacing good bacteria, and testing for and treating leaky gut. Cleveland Clinic has pepsin as enzyme.
To see if our stomachs are hypo- rather than hyperacidic the DIY test Cleveland Clinic suggests is taking a bicarb with water on an empty stomach. “Then time how long it takes you to burp. If it takes longer than three to five minutes, the theory goes, you don’t have enough stomach acid.” In which case you should get exactly that checked with proper tests.
All this made me unsure for a minute if I am really hyperacidic, that’s why I’m re-thinking. But I’ve hardly ever taken antacids, even OTC bicarb didn’t work well for me, caused indigestion. And clearly everything acidic I eat severely increases my problems, if I were hypoacidic it would improve them.
But it shows that when I’m talking about stomach problems I need to stress the importance of the distinction even more.
