Lowlights :crazy_face: more than highlights this week - July 4th to July 10th

  1. Big triggers almost every day, which smashed up my sleep completely Wed-Fri:
  2. Talking loudly thru mask to groups at work 1.5h was too long on Monday,
  3. also cracking wood-sticks too late (21:30).
  4. Acupressure backfired till the evening, sleep still OK tho (up 6x, 1h, stomach) Tuesday.
  5. Mask tough again, 1.5h again, altho only with single people Wednesday,
  6. also :new: playing table tennis 19:00-20:15 despite lateness & tiredness smashed up 2+ nights :interrobang:
  7. Thursday: Sick leave, tiredness, pain, even eyebrows, ‘trigeminal’, insomnia.
  8. Friday: Pain & insomnia, but TT still always easy. Seems biochemical, despite +Mg.
  9. Saturday: Even more insomnia, realized I’d lost my credit card on Wedn., but no stress, just :crazy_face:.
  10. Sleep: :new: relaxation exercises from CD quite good, as sleep substitute, like AuTr (& dozing :roll_eyes:).
  11. GABA & glutamine :pill: :new: Getting used to filling the empty capsules quickly.
  12. GABA 1000mg was OK for sleep (Sunday), but made me drowsy after. :face_with_monocle:
  13. Mg wasn’t wrong last week, so prob’ly don’t have to take that off again.
  14. :new: :sleeping_bed: Using 4 pillows and sleep positions (back & curling up backwards) is interesting and helpful.
  15. GI: Yeast paste in the evenings probably creates more wind than the supps.
  16. :new: Linseed oil (Ω3) increased for GI, plus ‘perenterol’ (& still psyllium, Gastritol & Gastricumeel) :white_check_mark:
  17. Bladder pain decreased by 3-4 pairs of socks again, so warmer feet, but only a bit.
  18. Acupressure still working OK for :sleeping_bed: lying, :chair: sitting and energy/precision (effortless TT :ping_pong:).
  19. RR: :drop_of_blood: Good. All sleep supps are decreasing it anyway, just the occasional insomnia increasing it.
  20. Sleep supps :new: were more important for fibro-work than ‘finishing’ the treatment list.
  21. Insomnia on 7th to 9th astounding :exploding_head: given the brilliant sleep 1st to 4rd.
  22. My fibro fog, focuses on big 'uns: 2x credit card, 2x mobile ((:train2:)) & 2x work key since May. :exploding_head:
