LDN: May 20th- 3.5mg (Mar 21st-May 19th 3mg), click for effects/dosage...)
10th- 2.75mg, 9th 3mg, 8th ?2mg, 6th-7th 2.625mg, Feb 8th-Mar 5th 2.25mg better than 3mg. (Slowly up from Oct 1st ~0.07mg.
Walnuts, all apple sorts, larger portions of baked beans, I think that’s all LDN.
Forgetting Dec 23rd caused big energy dip immediately, so there’s no drug level, it works day to day. (It’s constantly and reliably improved mainly energy (from 10%), heaviness, walking (from 5’), fine motor skills, stiffness (from 70% down to 10%), recovery time, Ache, pains, sleep , possibly from Dec on drinking only 2L/d which is helping sleep, and possibly reducing histamine and/or tannin from walnuts , but not my paleness (yellow/white face, black eye rims and white lips) or listening ability/sense . Last side effect was wobbliness, listening problems and Ache on day (1 and) 2 of 2mg (Dec 12th), before that “hangover” on Oct 20th .) .)
Dosage: Oct 1st ~0.07mg evenings, 8th 14:20 0.125mg, 9th-15th 10:00 0.125mg. 16th -19th 10:00 0.25mg. 20th-31st 0.5mg, 1st- 2x0.5mg, 10th (2+1)x0.5. 16th (1+1), 17th 2x0.5, 19th 1x1.5, Dec 11th 1x2, Dec 27th 1x2.25mg, Jan 10th 1x2.5mg, 16th 1x3mg. Feb 5th 1x1.5mg, Feb 8th 1.5+0.75=2.25mg. Mar 6th-7th 2.625mg, Mar 8th 2mg I think (2.75mg intended), Mar 9th 3mg, Mar 10th 2.75mg, Mar 21st- 3mg.
Additives: white capsules with TiO2 (HPMC with SiO2).
1) MAIN ISSUES: talking 20' ➔ 80%/3-4 (❌), music 10' ➔ 80%/3 (no nausea, strain less) (❌), white lips 70-80% (❌), TT n/a, moving ➔ 80%/4, more exhaustion than pain: 22:12 after visiting art exhibition next door, knew I needed a break, then totally knackered after eating, shop 10’ and guinea pig grass 10’ ❌, balance (✅), body fog (❌), jackknives ✅, SO post exertional malaise (❌), "post postural ache", "PPA" (✅), stiffness (✅), exhaustibility theoretically "70%" ✅ / actually "80%" (❌) and sleep 8h20 ✅ (Open window/fresh air: 1:30-3:50 = 2h20 ✅. vQvCS: 4:00 ✅, "PPA": 2 ✅). Energy profile: Jun 7th more "slow" again than "very slow", but Jun 8th back down with "5h rest", 7h very slow, 4h slow, 0h medium, 0h quick. Click for past months...
EXHAUSTIBILITY: Theoretically stably better from circadian rhythm, then LDN since Oct 1st - but moderate triggers bring it down to 10% for days to weeks.
SLEEP (click for tonight's details): 8h20, all deep ✅, QCS at 4:00 QCS = very quick very cold shower (22 issues under control).
Sleep 23:05-8:10 25+4x5’, 0 deep doze. Sum: h+h-(x5’=)45’ = 9h05-45’ = 8h20.
23:05- together for once, actually worked, I could sleep – she couldn’t well tho, cos noisy on the street.
0:32 5’ 1st
1:32 5’ 2nd wife had gone back in the meantime 1:33 bad back from different position. Opened window.
2:20 5’ 3rd (but somehow still 2nd white pill.) back hurting. Leaving window open. Throat dry, praps from windows, so dry mouth gel. 2:22 no sore throat tho. Left nostrils slightly stuffy. Ear plugs from now on.
3:50 25’ 3rd GABA, street robin and one in the distance, first sign of light. Dry mouth gel helped throat, but belly ache maybe from that. Now closing windows cos of dawn chorus. Too much unrest so QCS. 4:02 first blackbird, I think street blackbird, taping. 4:03 Blackie? 4:13 No, street blackbird I think (taped tho). Heard Blackie too. Smelling something like fumes again. 4:14 back to bed.
7:03 5’ 4th heart thumping a bit for a few minutes after last break. Calendula for sore throat.
8:10 up
2) Watching TRIGGERS, esp. of exhaustibility. Bites OK ✅. Histamine foods: 20g goat/cow cheese (✅). Strain: Allergist appt. May 29th, fairly recovered Jun 7th (9d) "✅". Bad sleep lab psychiatrist appt on Jun 7th, ✅ first, then on 8th bad again: I wrote this on Friday, but had to revise it Saturday and Sunday: “Strangely, it didn’t get to me much at all, as opposed to the allergist appt., I think I was just in a much worse state before that, and this time was well prepared from last time, no additional stress from having to print out the notes. Altho I met someone I knew beforehand and those 4-5’ took a lot of energy from the start, so I was shaking. Even more of course after the appt., my keys fell down. Makes me think if it’s important to go to docs with my wife to help me in such situations. But I don’t think it’s worth going there with my wife. Even tho she ended “I do want to help”. “ Saturday I realise I’m much more exhausted than it first seemed, so again a cortisol effect on Friday. Dentist's local anaesthesia on Feb 15th flared till Apr 28th ❌, next I'll need 3 tiny fillings, definitely without anaesthetic. Click for list Nov 7th 2022 to Feb 20th...."
(Nov) 7th 2022 caused MCAS / histamine problems like the first 2 till around July. Esp. ENERGY DOWN further to (10-)15-20% (max.), but more slow energy. Each jab -5%.
Made me stop cryotherapy/acupressure and acupuncture from Dec on!
2023:
(Jan) TCM recommendations for a few weeks took my appetite.
(Feb) ~3% of levothyroxine (T4) pill Feb 24th till Mar 23rd: more energy, but lost appetite and weight and sleep, antihistamine back up to 10mg to curb T4-insomnia & histaminey symptoms (stopped cos causing nauseous sinus headaches & painfully dry mouth).
(Mar) inkling of Covid, negative, but cough, appetite, night sweats…
(Apr) cancer checking ending with weird onco,
(May) 20th… 17 stress triggers, till end of May: 8-12%, seizures May-June every 10d.
(June) 21st: circadian rhythm Better to 18(-24)% a few days, but mostly back down to ~10%:
(July) 19th-24th: 3 garden bird deaths
(Aug) July 31st-7th uro exam and methylene blue trial. 9th… severe vertigo, check in clinic no result, so trying blood meds again. Hindsight: Painful uro exam on 7th, stiff neck from bird deaths, twist-stretching too much.
(Résumé) These triggers are “monthly” and kept bringing energy down from 20% to 10%.
(Sept) Histamine/MCAS symptoms (headaches 0%, tongue burning 10-20%, down. Further painful bladder exam injured (‘screaming’ 3d) & scarred me, caused UTI (2x3d). CoV-type infection (12th 10 days) (hantavirus??), work stress, abdomen pains, 24th-: listening to music painful, guinea pig, wife, CVD meds bad.
(Oct) (V)LDN helping a “lot”, Complex filling OK, CVD meds bad, BP low and slow OK.
(Nov) Atorvastatin difficult.
(Dec) Guinea pigs, atorvastatin, boss, often post postural Ache, DAO: baked beans tough, better with less sauce and more DAO, but walnuts OK without now. 28th: car trip to kids and and only 2x20’ bad for several days. NYE stress.
2024:
(Jan): (1st) DAO: 0x: 100g baked beans with reduced tomato sauce for 2nd meal caused tongue to burn a bit for half an hour, 3x: 150g for 3rd meal caused no burnt tongue or histamine reaction at all, despite the addition : Makes a difference! (2nd) Clearly severely woozy brain from talking during TT. (3rd) Are the seizures on Monday, pee and TT issues praps all caused by histamine from the baked beans, despite DAO preventing direct reactions, and that’s decreasing serotonin? 6th: Phone alarm music causing hurt from listening? (8th) Onco appt. better in evening, worse at night and next morning, OK by 10th. (11th) Contrast orally plus injected (doc thinks the excipients) caused a week of overall Ache, but energy and stiffness OK-ish, then (15th) fairly severe vertigo with walking problems and then 3h of vomiting, diarrhea the following day, but firm before and after, nausea and pain continuing till 18th, 7 days, then suddenly OK. Praps the oral one for gut, rather than the intravenous one (seemed not too bad in August), or praps cos too frequent/soon after the last. (25th) professional tooth cleaning.
(Feb) (3rd) stomach praps from apples & naltrexone, insomnia praps from naltrexone 3mg, pain praps from ezetimibe 3mg. Strain and sadness from guinea pig eating losing appetite and weight again, 7th better. (8th) LDN down to 2.25mg improved 4 issues, so increasing to 2.5, then 3mg was too much (cos next to GABA?). (15th) Dentist (cap-preparation) went well, but flare 17th-… from local anaesthetic (16th) temp cap fell of, (20th) got it put back on. (29th) Cap on.
(Apr 28th) Recovering from the anaesthetic after 10.5 weeks. Unsuccessfully re- trialling DAO (Apr 20th-) for vanilla and raspberry in yogurt (April 16th-24th) and marmite (e.g. 25th): only worked for sinuses, NOT for pee / dryness, sleep and possibly seizures (2 on Apr 22nd).
(May 29th) Good 20-25’ allergist appt., fairly recovered Jun 7th (9d) “”,
(Jun 7th) Bad 20-25’ sleep lab psychiatrist appt, first , Jun 8th back down .
(3) DOCS: 22:50 keeps going round my head that when I told the psychiatrist that my wife thinks I may need a wheelchair she just protested: but you don’t need a wheelchair! – as if she knew. Trying for higher disability from Apr 25th on. Click for latest (Jun 7th) details.)
DISABILITY: (May 29th) Allergist helpful (Jun 7th) sleep lab psychiatrist not helpful, coming up: (Jun 10th) public health officer. Then make another GP appt. and (Jun 26th) Cardio.
GP (Apr 25th): Just update (cancer and bp OK), and asking about possible help with sick notes and disability.
GP (Apr 25th): Just update (cancer and bp OK), and asking about possible help with sick notes and disability.
CARDIO (Apr 26th): Heart OK, (Feb 2nd) Belly plaque still “25” OK, next with bloods. (Dec 11th) Rosuvastatin?
DERM (Mar 19th): wart (but tea trea oil helped) on genetic enlargement under toenail.
ONCO: #2 (Jan 8th/11th/18th 2024): nothing in bloods or contrast CT, believes it’ll be nothing docs can find, the week of reactions likely from some excipient(s). That finishes the cancer exclusion Odyssey since April 2023.
URO (Nov 8th) IPP/PD shockwave therapy? (Bladder exam July 31st and bloods Aug 7th followed the vertigo/BP attack on the 9th - so maybe contributing, altho Aug 8th I could play TT 5:1.
(CVD, incl. med effects: Jun 7th: Watching palpitations (regularly lately) / HR 40 (new discovery Jun 7th). Jun 8th not that much. CVD: 13:39 heart pumping, pulse feels like 55-60 Click for latest (Jun 7th) & next changes, and details...)
(Jun 7th) Watching palpitations / HR 40 = bradycardia.
Mar 21st: Horse stance 70’’ ➔ 164/107-90 ➔ 139/94-69 ➔ 136/87-70, each inside of 1’. Confirms stopping candesartan.
Mar 17th BP getting too low, so stopped candesartan.
Thought Mar 17th: If BP spikes were from MCAS flare after bladder exam (in the summer), why is it now not spiking after local anaesthetic flare (in the winter)?
Atorvastatin Dec 16th- 0mg and ezetimibe Feb 4th- 0mg - trying 1mg again once LDN is sorted. BP , despite only ~1mg.
CANDESARTAN (BLOOD PRESSURE): Even alone starting Oct 24th was dreadful, but spreading over the day in ~0.5mg specks from 31st on worked, up to 4mg (5) since Nov 6th, but checking RR 24th/25th too low, so down to 2mg from Dec 10th. Dec 17th: BP at night sitting down (SBP ~100), so 2mg is a good compromise . (Jan 28th) been taking <1mg lately. Mar 17th: 0 since a few days now, cos BP low now.
ATORVASTATIN (LIPIDS): Nov 13th 1mg/d, + caused severe fatigue/Ache, stopped 24th, re-started 27th with specks of the middle without the mantle excipients good, but 28th 1+1 and then 2mg too late caused insomnia, so earlier in the day, increasing quickly from 29th to Dec 2nd: 10mg+, un-mantled, with first only slight problems, but increasing week of 4th, so Dec 10th-13th 0mg, 14th 5mg later likely caused pain 20:00-23:00… Summary without coating: Dec 2nd-9th: 10mg+, 10th-13th 0mg, 14th-15th 5mg, 16th- 0mg). Further trials.
EZETIMIBE (LIPIDS): Feb 3rd: muscle pain praps from 3mg, so 4th- 0mg.
4) UNDER CONTROL ✅ (attention necessary (✅)): 10:20 strange I’m not eating well in the mornings, weight seems 74kg. Watch GABA intake (compliance) better! Resumee Jun 2nd of Creatine monohydrate Apr 9th- 2x5g for more (slow) energy has had a small positive effect, but less than the LDN. Might be trying creatine malate next. Last seizure Jun 5th (2), 9 days since last. Last esophagus block May 7th: 7 months without. Carnitine Apr 14th-, EGCg Apr 13th-. Creatine Apr 9th- 2x5g, LDN May 20th- 3.5mg. Mar 21st-May 19th 3mg, Seizures slight, weekly & during TT from Mar 20th to Apr 2nd, then Apr 8th (3-4), Apr 22nd (2), May 2nd (1) 13th (1). Click for latest (May 13th) & next changes...
Latest: Seizures increased since Feb, and weekly since Mar 20th.
Reduced vit. C to 3x400mg, like Masterjohn recommends. Nux vomica D12 helping for nausea from music/talk, sleep and bladder not much. Also for sleep: Cocculus and acidum nitricum later. Supp costs ~400€.)

Apr 22nd (2) & 8th (4), 2nd, Mar 28th, 20th & 2nd, Feb 19th & 14th & 3rd Jan 1st 2024. 2023: Dec 22nd & 2nd/3rd Nov 20th Nov 13th & 5th Oct (26th/27th Oct 18th/19th Sep 19th Aug 9th (vertigo day). July 17th. Last ESOPHAGUS BLOCKs May 7th. Oct 21st.)
Last focal seizures: Varying from 2-weekly (May-June, Oct-Dec, Feb-Apr: 11 / 5 / 12 / 18 / 8 / 5 / 6 / 14 / 10 / 11 / 8 / 6 / 9, so weekly mid-Feb and mid-Mar to mid-Apr, praps cos of creatine vs. GABA) to 4-weekly (before May, July-Sept, Jan). Increases from stress, histamine, and less GABA. Jun 5th (2) (9:54 rabbit holing, 17:52 beginning of TT, from less GABA).

Sep 19th? (1). Aug 9th, vertigo day: (2). July 17th (2), 2 slight focal seizures about Dec 22nd? Dec 3rd (1) 13:00 during TT, after feeling a bit seizure-ish, and not able to win: GABA my main suspect, cos of less sleep breaks. Dec 2nd (1) after the dizziness of 15’ of concert or from too little GABA at night. Nov 20th (1) I think it was, after food fell off my spoon into a bowl… Nov 13th 20:30 slight cos of wind noise. Nov 5th very slightly seizure-ish at TT, then 20:50 (cos only 2x GABA at night, not compensated). Oct (26th-)27th 10:00 (seemingly seeing an ex-flat mate), seizure-ish 2x 26th. Oct 18th 17:50 (going on to busy street) & 20:15 (emotional music that could reach me). 19th: 11:00 table tennis. Sep 19th?? Aug 9th: 13:42 & 15:40 (after vertigo). Aug 1st: 4-5x seizure-ish. July 25th: seizure-ish 3-4x. July 17th: 18:30 19:55 after thunderstorm. July 7th seizure-ish 4x. Increase in May-June was stress, histamine, and less GABA: 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: May 7th 2024. Oct 21st 2023. Sep 30th, (25th,) 16th, 11th. Aug 31st, 26th & 8th, July 23rd & 16th, May 31st, Apr 4th. Deleted further details on/from Dec 30th 2023, cos last block worth counting on Oct 21st. Mindfulness, care, stop eating whenever there’s the slightest esophagus pressure.

No ‘research’ today
Quality of life: 90% (despite being knackered, still happy and everything)
Lessons in self-care:
- 10:23 forgot to go downstairs quick, cos wife is often uptight in the mornings, which we both know. She wants to take me to the public health officer on Monday. Made me angry, cried a bit, but means I’m fraught.
- 11:56 can get up easier out of the veranda, cos I’m not stretching my loins so much whilst sitting with one leg cocked, cos the loins are better.
- 15:12 still too easy to keep my shoes on when I go downstairs, so I keep forgetting and have to retrace to rewire my habits.
- 16:09 wife wants me to buy an expensive camera and tripod, has given me a deadline!
- 4:14 the alarm 7:55 can only wake me up if I have the phone next to me after using NSDR audio.
Reasons to be cheerful:
a)-d) Plant, bird & animal life:
a) Plants: (Newest blossoms)
- I spose moving into the garden as my new home is rather like changing houses and/or partners. And changing places in the garden, more in the veranda, is a bit like buying new furniture or renovating. Under the cherry I’m closer to food sources now I’m not feeding just in case it harms.
- 11:55 less daisies than last year cos the grass has grown much higher.
- 11:55 deep violet coloured rose campion shows contrast to the others even on pic, closer to the actual colour of most.
b) Birds:
(Every day cheer, song/calls/seen: Woodpigeons Robins Blackbirds Sparrows (Nuthatches 0) Magpies Dunnocks Great&BlueTits Jacks on the increase (from immigrated ones) Chaffinch (Chiffchaff nearby ) Collared dove Blackcap Swifts 16x Birds bathing 4x Great Woodpecker ) Latest / earliest robin song: …22:50 / 3:50…
(Regular cheer, song/calls/seen: Raven(s) / Crow(s))
- Swifts 8:13 put on swift sounds, attracted those around, but always only 2m away, few close manouevres. 10:23 swifts directly over the house.
- Blackie (and other blackbirds) 8:13 It was Blackie singing behind the lime, I’m pretty sure, actually in street blackbird’s territory, and probably was him making an alarm call on the balcony opposite, I think at my swift sounds, cos there was nothing else to be alarmed about. 11:03 mad for taping my Blackie so much, but it’s not just about listening to him after breeding time, it’s also he’s so unique in his musicality that I’ll want to listen to him in all future, like a good singer a few years ago. Just to have the tapes will comfort me, so I could listen if I wanted. Good substitute for not being able to listen to music much. * 3:50 street robin and one in the distance, first sign of light. 4:02 first blackbird, I think street blackbird, taping. 4:03 Blackie? 4:13 No, street blackbird I think (taped tho). Heard Blackie too. Blackie is expanding his territory to the street, don’t know where the street blackbird is.
- Predators: 11:05 raven magpie and cat didn’t catch anyone yesterday evening. 15:55 raven rasping. 17:08 Great woodpecker regularly.
- Magpie 11:45 great view, on magnolia and tree root sculpture. 11:46 woodpigeon and me wary when got closer, but didn’t attack. 12:12 found something larger (6cm) under the serviceberries and flew away with it. 12:15 close to nest again, wary again.
- 11:18 robins to and fro
- blackbird young 11:18 near (Blackie near and loud). 11:22 60cm from my boot. 11:28 even able to talk softly. Nice they’re still naive. 11:46 Blackie warning. 12:59 watching one in deadwood under cherry. Whilst Blackie is warning again, then singing. 13:03 cleaning itself. 17:08 woodpigeon made blackbird young feel safer close to me.
- 11:33 blackcap 12:40 17:08
