Sleep: 22:15- 3:10! (apparently still have some melatonin in me from yesterday night! Yucky dream, someone due to be executed, I don’t dream disturbing things like that. Twist-stretching the yucky feeling in my limbs helps a bit, rest with autogenic training/fantasy I hope. → pi.55’ 4:45 youtube guided meditations not helping. 5:05 melatonin. 8:15p (dream: put a ‘bad show on’ at work) -10:15 12h-1h30 =10h30
Can I get up now? My wife (on leave) answered: You’ve never been looking like you can get up in the last few weeks… - time for more sleep memes…
Nap: 0, just fatigued, not feverish.
Work: Nope.
Activities: 1.5h cleaning up a wet mess in the kitchen which we can’t find an explanation for, but I’ve an idea how to stop it being a mess next time, whatever causes it. Shopping 30’. Otherwise resting lying down most of the day. Ah, can’t I stand long at the moment?
Feeling well: Night: 70%. 50% at day. 20% while & after doing up the mess. 14:50 90% while & after warm & cold showering. 15:00 back to 50%. 19:00 up to 80% pushing myself and using cortisol to go shopping 30’. 20:00 OK 60%.
Treatment:
Hacks:
Tricks:
Pain: 4 short colon pangs yesterday & at night that made me jerk. No idea what from. Ache around 2.
Gut: Heartburn after 10 chips/French fries…, down using Gastritol. OK all day.
Diagnoses:
Development:
Lucky to get an appt. with my ex-psychologist Tuesday next week. Makes up a bit for not having got an endocrinologist appt. arranged yet. Wary of more work next week. Don’t seem to have got a different work schedule as hoped.
My wife once again said she doesn’t think I am better now than a year ago, which can’t be right, she’s catastrofying there. But it shows that just getting the pains down is neither allowing working that easy or my quality of life, got to do more there. Praps something for the psychologist.
Got an endocrinologist appt. Monday next week, too, lucky again. Embarrassing luxury of private insurance.
Before I get confused: Monday 1-2h endocrinology, Tuesday 2h acupressure & 1h psychology, Wednesday 1h online work conference & Thursday 2h the 2nd acupressure.
And work, hopefully in home office, but the numbers are going down, so might not be lucky. Or I have to go on sick leave again. 
Which of my current meds has a well-known side effect of tiredness?
Lercanidipin: Yes, occasionally (German, not English, wp) (24h)
Candesartan: No.
Atorvatastatin: Yes. And myopathy / muscle pain, which hasn’t increased much at the moment tho.
Ezetimib: Yes, according to German wp, English wp says myopathy and myalgia, but rarely.
Aspirin: Doubt it.
Selene: tiredness yes - but only in big overdose, my 200 mcg sh’d be OK. But it’s something which fits to the time when the tiredness started. So it might be me over-reacting or a combination effect.
Roseroot: Gets tiredness down, not up.
Two ideas:
A. Stop all 4 at the same time. If that helps it’s one of them, if it doesn’t help, then it’s none of them.
B. Stop the 2 easiest. That way my docs and wife’d be less worried. Selene is a supp for the thyroid and lercanidipine I’d already checked with the heart-prof that I can take more of the candesartan instead. That’d also have the advantage that it’d narrow it down more. If it doesn’t help, then I’ll help to take sick leave until I’ve sorted out what does, if anything.
Whilst I do enough twist-stretching, I keep forgetting to do enough specific leg stretching, so I’ve got to make it a competition. I just did more than 3x20’’=1’ per leg. That’s got to get more!
