Pic(k)s of the Day

= expanding happiness
I’ve seen I can use a grid function here after I’ve uploaded pics, so maybe I don’t need to make a collage anymore or in every case!

Plants:
Today I’m starting with the unspectacular plants and ending on conventional beauty.
Again something that looks like nothing, except a very characteristic leaf attachment. But it’s a new plant in my garden, important for bio-diversity and a good one for insects. Bistort or snakeroot. Need to care for it:


Neighbour’s hollyhock blossoms I’d like on my side too…:
![IMG_20240702_083016 Stockmalven Stockrosen smaller|690x388 (upload://wGl0lUn0ixfHGEk2RWN2FkQSHFQ.jpeg)

…and they gave me seeds last year, didn’t come up last, and this year these 2 tiny leaves were now identified as being some… well, don’t think they’ll make it this year, but I won’t give up hope. (Despite seeming very native to us however, the big blossoms are telling: non-native, so it doesn’t matter, most of my plants up front are all native):

Also in front of the house, I’d taken and put down pieces of bark from trees around the corner. The left one with lichen looks a bit like mould, so I was ashamed and turned it over to the brown inside. A few weeks ago I decided to provoke and challenge by showing the contrast:


Up on our balcony…:
*The beautiful fungus “many-zoned bracket” (or “many-coloured polypore”, in German ‘butterfly fungus’) on the balcony railings keeps reminding me of one of my first identifying adventures, cos there were loads on the lilac tree trunk last year.


Not sure when I last had a proper look at the pelargonium blossoms, and as often I like buds, as well as the look and smell of the leaves:

Insects
My laptop says this might just be a house fly, but also Cheilosia, in German a type of ‘arch hover fly’, and that fits better to my eye, plus I don’t think I’ve got one yet, this is on the wall/false barley:


And talking about grains, we sometimes have brown bugs suggesting to us we might need to clean up somewhere, and sure enough this cute little bug(ger) is a biscuit/bread beetle:

Animals
After our little guinea pig charges thru the straw protection he builds himself, he looks like a crub cake:


Squirrel in the feeding box again:

Birds

So in the morning the young woodpigeon was on the shed and then together with parent on the lowest mini-‘balcony’, first time directly here again, first time I see begging outside the nest (altho been hearing it for 2 weeks now) and first time I’ve been able to get shots:

But in the afternoon whilst I was feeding the guinea pigs, littl’un tried to fly into the upper window for 20-30’', only stopped and flew down when I closed the lower one, and flew away after I opened again:

Human
Some joker put a sun around a no parking sign, made me laugh, and looks pretty good.

LDN: 3mg/3.5mg since Feb was no help, so: Jun 20th- 1.5mg: Brilliant sleep, subjectively lighter body, easier movements, but can't use the felt energy, radius same. click for effects/dosage (not under 4 Supps)

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 :white_check_mark:, possibly from Dec on drinking only 2L/d :white_check_mark: which is helping sleep, and possibly reducing histamine and/or tannin from walnuts :white_check_mark:, but not my paleness (yellow/white face, black eye rims and white lips) or listening ability/sense :x:. Last side effect was wobbliness, listening problems and Ache on day (1 and) 2 of 2mg (Dec 12th), before that ‚hangover’ on Oct 20th :white_check_mark:.) .)
Dosage: (Slowly up from Oct 1st ~0.07mg). 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-Mar 5th 1.5+0.75=2.25mg - ‚better than 3mg‘. Mar 6th-7th 2.625mg, Mar 8th 2mg I think (2.75mg intended), Mar 9th 3mg, Mar 10th 2.75mg, Mar 21st-May 19th 3mg. May 20th-Jun 18th 3.5mg. Jun 19th 3mg. Jun 20th- 1.5mg.
Additives: white capsules with TiO2 (HPMC with SiO2).

1) MAIN ISSUES: talking 10' ➔ 80%/4 (❌), music 5-30', depending ➔ 80%/3-4 (no nausea, strain less) (❌), white lips 70-80% (❌), TT 17:29 TT 0:2, later 2:0, hurting tho. Someone from work that came by asked if I’m OK, I said yeah, just listening. Untrue: I was also hurting from TT so in a relief position. (moving 15%, talking 15%, counting 20%) (✅), moving ➔ 80%/3-4 (✅), balance (✅), body fog (❌), jackknives (✅), SO post exertional malaise (❌), 'post postural ache‘, 'PPA‘‚ (✅), stiffness (✅), exhaustibility theoretically ’70%‘ ✅ / actually 87% ❌ and sleep 7h17: Council workers cutting & blowing woke me up, another reason to get to bed earlier ✅ ('PPA‘: 2 ✅). Energy profile: since decreasing LDN from 'very slow‘ to 'very slow'/'slow', with '8h rest‘, 4h 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): 7h17, all deep ✅, QCS at 10:00 QCS = very quick very cold shower (22 issues under control).

Sleep 23:10-7:33 3+28+3’+15’+5’ x5’, 15’ deep doze. Sum: h50+7h33-(x5’=)54’ = 8h23-54’ = 7h17.
(Monday night: 7:56 bit of stuffy nostrils, frontal headache, overheated cos of longsleeve on)
Screen curfew 20:20, then a bit whilst feeding, finished Saturday’s entry and forums after that…
23:10- after back
0:43 1st, no apigenin
0:59-1:26 28’ q6 cos of unrest
2:31 bite getting smaller
3:23 ? 15’? bed with phone in case NSDR nec - wasn’t…
6:32 4th 5’
7:21 closed windows cos of council workers cutting rose beds, then 7:31 blowing leaves. 7:33 something’s hurting on back of foot.
15’ of that deep dozing

2) Watching TRIGGERS, esp. of exhaustibility. Jun 29th- 1 of 5 bites playing up: Bite still 10cm radius 0.5cm high. (❌) Praps I’ve had less bites this year so far cos of more rain and not cos of changed body? ✅. Strain: (May 29th) doc appt. (9d) ❌, (Jun 7th) Bad 20-25' sleep lab psychiatrist appt, from Jun 8th on ❌. (Jun 10th) Too long 55' public health officer appt., immediately: ❌❌❌. Dentist's local anaesthesia on Feb 15th flared till Apr 28th ❌, next I'll need 3 tiny fillings, definitely without anaesthetic. Histamine foods: 20g goat/cow cheese (✅). 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 :white_check_mark:: 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) :x:,
(Jun 7th) Bad 20-25’ sleep lab psychiatrist appt, first :white_check_mark:, from Jun 8th on :x:.
(Jun 10th) Too long 55’ public health officer appt., immediately: :x::x::x:.
(Jun 26th) Did go well :white_check_mark:, but all too much, not recovered beforehand, so stays :x:.
(Jun 29th-) 1 of 5 bites playing up (:x:).

(3) DOCS: Trying for higher disability from Apr 25th on, cardio (Jun 26th) has helped immediately, let's see when allergist comes and when I'll be able to manage a GP appt. Click for latest (Jun 22nd) details.)

DISABILITY: (May 29th) Allergist helpful (Jun 7th) sleep lab psychiatrist not helpful, trying follow-up per mail. Jun 10th appt. with public health officer for retirement too long, so postponing GP & dentist. (Jun 26th) Cardio went well, short, short report adding: fatigue syndrome for more than a year.
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 22nd: Palpitations down, HR back to 65. Jun 7th: Watching palpitations (regularly lately) / HR 40 (new discovery Jun 7th). 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 :white_check_mark:, 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 :white_check_mark: (SBP ~100), so 2mg is a good compromise :white_check_mark:. (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 (✅)): Re-ordering silymarin Jun 24th: praps anti-infl., anti-ox., praps praps detox (cf. Iberogast) & lipids). Jun ~10th creatine down to 1x2mg (see tub). Creatine monohydrate Apr 9th-Jun 9th 2x5g gave slightly more (slow) energy, but less than LDN - malate form next? Last seizure Last seizure Jun 29th (2) (+9d ✅). Last esophagus block May 7th ✅: 7 months without ✅. Carnitine Apr 14th-, EGCg Apr 13th-. LDN: see separately (Jun 21st). Click for latest (Jun 22nd) & next changes...

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€.)

No ‘research’ today

Quality of life: 90%

Not feeling too well, but let’s keep it at 90% today (tomorrow/Wednesday worse for a day, then from the evening on better than today.)

Lessons in self-care:
14:37 something fell out of my pocket, startled. My wife asks why I startle lately, saying it’s normal for things to fall down. Thing is I’m losing control, things are falling in a different way, I’m not used to it, sometimes I can just let it go, but sometimes I do startle. But I don’t startle at startling, it’s just that, nothing more.

Reasons to be cheerful:
a)-d) Plant, bird & animal life:
a) Plants: (Newest blossoms) See pics.
b) Birds:
Every day cheer, song/calls/seen: Woodpigeons :white_check_mark: Blackbird family less shy, some subsong and only short bursts of full song :white_check_mark: Robins here only short bursts :white_check_mark: Sparrows (:white_check_mark:) Blackcap singing less here, same at TT (:white_check_mark:) Swifts 4x, those not breeding are off cos of the rain period :white_check_mark:, Magpies :white_check_mark: Jacks less now :white_check_mark:, bathing 10x/d cos of rain :white_check_mark:, Crow :white_check_mark:, Great Tits now hatched a few days ago, lost track of when exactly & BlueTits :white_check_mark:, Collared dove :white_check_mark:.
Latest / earliest robin song: …22:40/ <4:00…

(Regular cheer, song/calls/seen - Chaffinch :white_check_mark:, Chiffchaff :white_check_mark:, Wren song and family here less (:white_check_mark:), Great Woodpeckers left mid-June but back around 30th, all song thrushes singing a lot again nearby :white_check_mark:), Dunnocks 0, Nuthatches 0.

  • 12:00 chaffinch all morning singing, altho it’s raining. Then 12:56 rain call all the time.
  • 12:53 jay call? Or jack?
  • 13:35 young blackbird came past me near on the veranda, bedraggled from the rain, only nervous when I started talking.
  • 15:23 young woodpigeon thankfully didn’t hurt himself while trying to fly into the upper window of the guinea pig room for 30 seconds. (No images came up, only slight memory, of the young woodpigeon last year breaking a wing (and then losing life after a few days) by flying into the cellar door.) When I closed the window it made him fly down; when I opened again, he flew away, parent was on the shed and flew away too.
  • 15:54 taping woodpigeon there were baby and juvenile sounds in the background.
  • 16:38 blackbird singing in the background and blackcap in the foreground at TT, taped while playing, so dreadful recording.
  • 17:14 song thrush back on the way home from TT. Taped. Now hardly blackbird song to listen to I concentrated on this song, which I’d deprecated a bit. Realised the repetitions have quite a variety and progression, then there’s periods of song without repetitions.
  • 17:27 GreatTit babies down the road from the song thrush, chiffchaff, chaffinch.
  • 20:50 I thought a dunnock next to my shop, but 21:08 I taped a bird a bit further that sounded like a cross between wren and blackcap identified as a goldfinch, so it might have been that.

c) Animals: (guinea pig antics :white_check_mark:. Redbrown squirrel in cornel cherry and feeding bowl :white_check_mark:)
Bats (:white_check_mark:) Bank vole(s) (:white_check_mark:). Insects: bees, flies, spiders, butterflies & bugs :white_check_mark:. Snails & slugs :white_check_mark:.
17:39 squirrel in sunflower seeds again, the only one other than woodpigeons. The blackbirds are never in there any more, nor the parent of the woodpigeon baby. Cos I’m not sure if they’re OK for the GreatTits brood I’m not putting them out regularly.
Cabbage white(s) several times a day.

e) Human life: (TT laughter 2x :white_check_mark::white_check_mark: Skip-Bo :white_check_mark: Wife :white_check_mark: Art: my paintings :white_check_mark: Music listening (:white_check_mark:) Nice talks (:white_check_mark:))
f) Environment: (outdoors/fresh air :white_check_mark:.) 21h :white_check_mark:.
g) Body: (“Theoretical” energy 30% (:white_check_mark:).)

Foggies: (Body (:x:). Brain (:x:).)
