2023-07-18 Tuesday - day not easy, but night tough and morning sad awakening

What … worked / went wrong … today?:

:white_check_mark: Sleep no more than 8h, early sun, air all day, screen curfew at 8.
:white_check_mark: Eucalyptus lavishly (more linen, lavender etc. alternately, more cold showers.)

How was I today?:

Feeling 85%-ish (:white_check_mark:), energy today (:white_check_mark:), sleep Monday night (:white_check_mark:), sleep Tuesday night (:white_check_mark:/:x:), no bites :white_check_mark:. Nausea 0% :white_check_mark:, fog 10% (:white_check_mark:).

Today working mainly on … (garden and getting other things done and) sleep hygiene - which went completely wrong

1) Early circadian rhythm for a) energy/sleep & b) Ache

At 18:30 I start going into ‘tired’ mode, but less at 20:00, so no help.
7’ workout? Nope, 20’ shop was more than enough, Ache of 4 after that.

1st meal a bit later, 2nd & 3rd early (slight intermittent fasting): :white_check_mark:(:x:)(:white_check_mark:/:x:),
whilst keeping food amount up (:white_check_mark:)(:white_check_mark:)(:white_check_mark:)
Bed early / up early :white_check_mark::white_check_mark:, screen time down :white_check_mark: → Effective sleep (:white_check_mark:)/(:x:).
“PEM” :x: vs. “Ache without exertion” = post postural Ache :x:.

:ping_pong: 6-8 games most days since June 20th, often winning (but hardly talking, not counting/picking up balls), now 2nd week of a 2 week break till Friday.

1a) EXHAUSTIBILITY today: “82%-". Energy down from June 30th, after great increase starting 20th by making my rhythm circadian, more natural, earlier (with the consequence of re-focusing & pulling forward these blog entries). Click for today's ENERGY profile/envelope (= moderate, with "3h rest").

R rest: 100% exhaustion 20% of the time (3h),
VS very slow: 60% exhaustion 20% of the time (3h),
S slow: 40% exhaustion 30% of the time (5h),
M medium: 20% exhaustion 30% of the time (5h),
Q quick: 0-10% exhaustion 0% of the time (0h)
(pre-fibro: 0% exhaustion 100% of the time.)

SLEEP (click for details): 6h39, up 8x (1h30), 5 of that deep. My back started up (despite back exercises) so I needed the 1st cold shower at 11, that backfired and hypered me for a time, then another pee urge, so had to take a longer break, dry cough showed my dry mouth playing up, not sure it the pee frequency was from drinking so much for all the GABA or from histamine alone, at 5 annoying thoughts, so a very short cold shower, but that wasn't enough. So only "longer" sleep period was the 1.5h from 4:45... to 5:17... No sure what went wrong, was sleep too early, or even too late?, was the cold shower too late? ❌, everything else OK ➔ Feeling 80% well, Ache 2 of 7 ✅, getting up: 90%/2 ✅. 2x FCS ✅✅ - didn't seem necessary before sleep, but it didn't as planned keep sleep breaks shorter.

Sum: 2h05+6h04-(7+4+18+40+4+4+4+9=)90’ = 8h09-1h30 = 6h39, up 8x (1h30), 5 of that deep.

1b) ACTIVITIESACHE = PEM (Post exertional malaise): no TT, no workout, not much gardening/moving ➔ 80%/2 :white_check_mark:, shop ➔ 80%/4 :x:, not talking much. White lips & face colour OK-ish.
1c) REST/STIFFNESS ➔ ACHE At night st3 → 80%/3 (:white_check_mark:). Getting up - for how long?: st3 → 80%/3 (:white_check_mark:). - Cortisol of course reduces stiffness but causes insomnia.

2) Histamine/MCAS symptoms

Nauseous sinus burning headache: Nope :white_check_mark:.
Tongue burning: Hardly :white_check_mark:. Cranberry trial next.
Insect bite itch: :lotion_bottle: Oils unncessary. Cos I wanted to leave the Baby Blackbird in peace I didn’t go in the garden much.
Excitement before getting up from annoying thoughts :x:, after getting up sad cos of the 2nd dead Baby Blackbird :x: - that looked so cute & cuddly yesterday.

JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) causing MCAS / histamine problems, esp. ENERGY DOWN to (10-)15-20% decreasing to 8-12% by end of May from the new symptoms, partly from CoV itself, energy increased June 20th to 30th (>20%), and usually still quite higher after (16-20%), further symptoms down too. Triggers: Foods (esp. soy, white beans, yeast spread, >1/2 banana), grasses slightly, 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. and at the end: People stress end of May for a few weeks. Energy up from June 20th.

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.

3) Docs:

Last DOC update July 13th: Unsuccessfully asked for my onco lab results. June 24th/25th: Teeth problems resolved for the time being. Waiting for onco report, “2nd” opinion or not? (“B symptoms” = night sweats, appetite, weight starting Feb/March resolved in June.) Click for details…
Click for details: Update June 24th/25th: The new filling is better: nothing getting stuck any more, easy to get between the teeth. June 23rd: New filling at dentist went well, no anaesthetic necessary, just druggy for 4-5 hours from the antihistamine, which may have protected. June 13th: Gum inflammation down (to 20% from December), so keeping tooth, but renewing filling on the 23rd. May 26th: Asked my GP what to do, we agree on waiting a bit, but going to a different onco doc. 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. Apr 6th: My gyn(!): nothing on the sono, don't get it taken out, praps a mammography, keep the oncology-appt. on 24th. Apr 5th: wife's gyn says get a mamilla sono. Apr 3rd: surgeon cos of left mamilla swelling says wait 5 weeks, Mar 30th: lung X-ray shows nothing to explain my cough, Mar 29th GP says possibly B-symptoms. 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.

4) Under control, attention necessary :white_check_mark:/(:white_check_mark:):

Annoyances 1+2 (3 and 4 are OK now).

2) Symptoms fairly under control - click for details on Weather: SUN / WIND ✅ THIRST (❌), dry mouth (day and) at night ❌❌. Last SEIZURES July 17th: 18:30 19:55 after thunderstorm. July 7th seizur-ish 4x... Jun 23rd 4x, Jun 16th, Jun 6th 2x ❌, May 25th 17:40 & 21:00, May 14th/13th, Apr 16th/15th, last ESOPHAGUS BLOCKS: July 16th, May 31st, before that Apr 4th ✅. JAW solved for the time being since June 23rd. ✅

Weather: Outdoors almost all day now, for energy/sleep from light and air - not too much pure sun, that’s all, but getting better used to it.
Dry mouth (day and) at night has always been a problem, a stronger added real thirst making me drink a fourth litre of almond milk a day came up in April. Stopping the antihistamine completely has praps helped stop it become painfully sticky at night, so I don’t use the gel much any more.
Last focal seizures: July 17th: 18:30 19:55 after thunderstorm. July 7th seizur-ish 4x. Jun 23rd: 11:30 12:15 14:00 15:06, 2 before, 2 after antihistamine, maybe from the confused night, taking sleep meds too late and more?? Jun 16th 20:05, June 6th 13:45 & 14:35. 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”). Jan 14th 23:58 (no trigger, praps missing out on .6g GABA Friday). Jan 5th (after being scolded for being hyper). Dec 11th: 1x. Nov 21st: 2x.
Last esophagus blocks: Generally, mindfulness to be extremely careful and stop eating, spread supps & meal (length up to 2h), whenever there’s the slightest pressure. July 16th I was concentrating on testing if hazelnuts increase my nicotinic acid flush with my 3rd meal, and disregarded a slight throat pressure, which went totally wrong, was the last straw for an esophagus block, so had to get it out, lots came out, incl. supps, and needed to wait quite a bit afterwards. (June 6th narrowly avoided.) May 31st, argument made me forget to concentrate on a small carrot. Apr 4th: Carrot, got it out quick. Mar 26th just the supps. Mar 23rd: Tiny bit of parsnip I think it was, had to get it out, had no patience to massage longer than 5-6’. Mar 13th (roughly) same as: Feb 26th: midday: block not waiting long enough with muesli after supps. Feb 20th eve: block from I think carrots resolved with massager. Feb 5th: From C-supps. Jan 19th: Sometimes do use massager a while to make sure. Jan 17th: I can take my B supps and then go to bed again atm. Jan 8th: Block after evening supps, maybe from twisting. Jan 7th: Testing if twisting before, while & after pills & food increases esophagus blocks Jan 6th: Slight blocks. Jan 5th: Medium block in evening. About 5x small blocks from pills around end of the year. Dec (20th, 15th) 11th (9th,) 1st, Nov 30th 2x, 29th 2x, (28th,) 24th, 22nd, 20th. Powder blocks in funnel if it’s too much in one go…
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. Immediately improved when a broken filling was taken out May 22nd. June 6th: I think I need to get both teeth done, cos they’re causing a lot of problems that I can’t prevent any more… - June 23rd: OK, the fillings were enough, solved for the time being.

‘Research’ today:

I couldn’t believe when someone said amitriptyline works for her itching.
There is actually some evidence for it, however mainly for neuropathic itchiness - like also for more neuropathic pain, so mine seems to be neither, as amitriptyline didn’t do anything for me except harm: Use of oral antidepressants in patients with chronic pruritus: A systematic review - PubMed
A total of 35 studies evaluating the oral use of fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, doxepin, and mirtazapine were included. The majority of included articles showed a marked improvement of pruritus during treatment with oral antidepressants.
and Tricyclic antidepressants. Amitriptyline, nortriptyline | DermNet
Tricyclic antidepressants are sometimes successfully prescribed for pruritus (itch), especially when this is of neuropathic origin…
Tricyclic medication has some antihistamine H1 blocking activity and may be useful in the treatment of urticaria even when conventional antihistamines have failed.
Patients need to be warned that pain/itch relief is not immediate as it may take several weeks for the drug to become fully effective.

Quality of life

Lessons in self-care: Not sure what’s going wrong at night, need to come up with an idea.
Reasons to be cheerful:
a) Chirping brought a new pigeon nest to my attention, this time easier to see…
b) but it was a cute little Baby Blackbird snuggling on the ground under our giant buxus, which I could focus on too with binoculars, once I’d seen Mum darting out and back for food…
c) so praps it was only one of the Blackbird Chicks that got mutilated and this was praps another, but doesn’t have to be on the nest anymore.
d) Wonderful how interesting flowers are growing from earth I’d been able to take from someone else’s garden, a dark coloured petunia, and the “poison berry” (apple of Peru or Sodom).
e) Watching Blackbird Mum thru binoculars bathing & preening to take a break from feeding the Chick, the water flying around appeared to almost splatter on me, like the effect in 3D films - but better. :smile:
f) Amazing how flowers turn to the sun, esp. sunflowers, we have 2 opposite our house which don’t need to turn, but two in our garden that very clearly change position all day.
g) Also amazing where my 2 sunflowers have grown. I planted seeds all over the garden, the 2 places they actually grew is in earth between two small pots on the stone terrace! and between two concrete slabs near a metal balcony post.
h) The Blackbird Chick has been in the same place for hours. When I heard Chick chirping for food and looked thru the binoculars I heard the Mum talk from afar and Chick answer every time immediately, and then continue chirping for food. Hope Chick’ll make it. My wife says in German we have the word ‘branchling’ for birds that are no longer ‘nestlings’. But this one is an earthling. :face_with_monocle: That would seem to be the most risky sort.
i) So many things have got better in the last months, I think actually after the l3rd jab, another example being that I can now lie on my arms when sleeping…
j) Not sure if this is a foggy or not: When I went to bed I decided not to cold shower yet. But first I was thinking of doing so, so took most of my clothes of, except the 3 inner pairs of left socks. When my back and body was playing up a bit later, I took everything up and realized I’d put the 2 outer pairs of right socks over my 5 left pairs, so had 7 pairs on my right foot, and 3 on the other. And didn’t really realize it… (That’s only possible because my outer woolen socks have enormous ankle holes)
k) I looked in the sky this Wedn. morning and decided to look into Heaven at the same time - need to do that more often again.
l) My wife prepared me for the sad shock that the 2nd Baby Blackbird didn’t make the night either. A group of Jays with a Baby were around, but the body seemed cold, so maybe it wasn’t them, they were just wanting to make use of it. Luckily all the other Babies were around again, and partly very near, that was comforting.
Simplified:
Foggies: Making a mess of my stuff by not closing the almond milk lid properly wasn’t a real foggy, just a nuisance.
