Highlights of the week - July 18th to July 24/25th

  1. Supps: Upping GABA increased sleep depth, stints and effectivity. :smiley:
  2. 2nd dose of GABA at around 4:00 instead of 1:00 seems to stop awaking too early (6:00). :face_with_monocle:
  3. Upping glutamine caused neuropathy on Sunday, so down again. Rest & cold water alleviated it. :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:
  4. It probably wasn’t glutamine that caused the seizures, as it didn’t return when upping it a lot.
  5. So tryptophan seemed to cause seizurishness & pin pricks Tues/Wedn, & 1 focal seizure Wedn. :roll_eyes:
  6. It didn’t seem to decrease sleep breaks or bladder pain any more than now having stopped it.
  7. So now theanine (then serrapeptase, 50mg levodopa, D-Ribose, Schüßler 2/4/7, essential oils?) :face_with_monocle:
  8. Much better activities this week, incl. walks :smiley:; but 30’ yardwork and 80’ eulogies exhausting. :slightly_frowning_face:
  9. Off work for quite a while is great! :+1:
  10. First try of Yoga Nidra seemed very similar to autogenic training. :slightly_smiling_face:
  11. Acupressure helped arms & neck more for a few days, loins longer, but not sleep (yet; I think). :slightly_smiling_face:
  12. Symptoms: GI was good despite more amino acids - if I remember to take everything 2x/d. :face_with_monocle:
  13. Except IBSD from suddenly eating a lot of dairy (vegan before) :slightly_frowning_face: , OK when less.:relieved:
  14. Bladder pain down to 0(-1) since starting then stopping Tryptophan? :face_with_monocle:
  15. Caught up on the forums, before going back to the reference lists next week. :slightly_smiling_face:
  16. Dx: Getting my blood fats checked, to stop ezetimibe+atorvastatin, then check again. :face_with_monocle:
  17. Strange how lessons in self-care & reasons to be cheerful come in waves: more on bad days? :face_with_monocle:
