Day 21 of working again, Sunday - idea/inspiration overload
Sleep: Tonight I had lots of ideas, luckily I’d tried placing my pda next to my bed instead of banning it, so I cd write them down or record them instead of implementng them and getting out of my sleep-drowse-state. Also got hungry, due more to not eating enough than to using essential oils to keep my nose free . And like regularly use 2 tops over my t-shirt in case I get too cold at night
- 3 ideas I’ve put under ‘hacks’.
- joking - for forum-use: my fibro-misses -Mrs(.) -mams, -mums, vs. my fibro-mates (spoaken wiv moy broudest ‘arlow Coackney accen’ so it sounds like ‘fibromites’)
- trill-idea and slightly displacing the bass for the song I’m working on.
- is the cortex in my speech centre which is not only causing the occasional focal seizures, but has blessed me with becoming perfectly bilingual and someone who sometimes has difficulty thinking straight ahead, but also giving me inspirations, creative/lateral thinking, thinking outside the box, taking the red pill which helps me find out about the illusion provided by the Matrix. Phrase reminding of Uri Geller: Do not think it is the spoon that bends… that is impossible. Rather think: “You are the spoon!” Also making me long-winded…
Nap: As soon as I get feverish…? There’s a few things making the naps hard: What I usually do at that time, like acupressure 2x/w 1-3. Mme Army Boots above me throwing things on the floor and stamping around… So apart from ear plugs I have to put my top duvet double over my ear. Ideas in my head resulting from what I’ve just been doing all morning, work or play. But still been quite good.
1h good sleep at 3, after table tennis, altho I was tired at 2 starting out for it.
Tired again at 7.
Work: well no, too much very necessary fibro-research…
Activities: Song , Table tennis 4:2, no problems & service
Treatment: None. Stood too long, was OK. 10x1’ yoga for my back. It’s weeks since I’ve done breath-holding, one cold shower a day is enough, energy is still there for table tennis and cycling.
Hacks:
- further developed the double twist for use without energy: Lie on front, twist head on way, the other leg and arm the other, then use the weight of the unused leg on the other’s heel to twist it further without energy.
- added a few ideas to ‘yesterday’ about the double twisting.
- also realized that my back exercises stretch my leg-muscles, but not as well or as quickly as the double twisting. Also of course I can do the double twisting for 6’’ every time I get up at night, without waking me up much (does a bit, but at the same time increases stability & speed getting out and back). So they are by far not as handy. OTOH they of course don’t do enough for my back. cat/cow lying down is a quick help for night, as I’ve said.
- If I forget my back exercises before sleeping, it’s important to do the halved version the first time I wake up , because the lower back often becomes a problem by then (halved: everything 4x4, instead of 2x4x4, I’m a musician, so I “count”/feel in rhythm).
Apart from men-memes Pics & Memes that visualize our condition - #54 by JayCS
I looked for new studies on fibro (Review Jan 2021: No effectiveness proven for most therapies for fibromyalgia)
esp. the lessening gender difference claimed in the wikipedias… Males - My Fibro-mates :-) - ratio, differences etc and

Considerable pain after holding in too long…
