Symbol & emoji of the week:

- Self-discipline: Instead of procrastinating breakfasting, I now just do it first thing when I’m hungry.

- Supps: Back on track.

- Balancing serotonin & dopamine is the challenge; amounts, times & selectivity tough.

- 600+600 GABA is OK
, incl. bp/pulse. Less compulsive fw, more housework. 
- Theanine to 400mg took sleep length down. Back to 300mg is OK, but not lower now.

- Glutamine at 2:00 helps. But next down a bit, then up with glycinate. +Taurine.

- drjockers recommends what I’m doing, but his doses are strange, so I wrote…

- Bladder pain has been as good as before the GABA overdose.

- Activities & actions were pretty good.

- Back mobilization was good, neck & back group gently was good, but slightly too much.

- The linseed oil I’d started using was off, came across a caveat on the web.

- My docs’ “Mediterranean” diet is actually ‘Nordic’: canola oil, joghurt, skyr…

- Symptoms: GI (0-1)
, bladder (0-1)
, jaw
, energy great
. Exhaustion isn’t.

- Yoga Nidra videos help substitute sleep, sometimes intenser than AuTr.

- Reacting flexibly & quickly to cold & hot flashes is helping.

- Stiffness: watching, counting how long (30’‘-1’), pain if I don’t wait (5), if I do (1-2?).

- Right loin returned, so need to
go to gym again. 
- Got pee frequency down at night by more drink discipline & dry mouth gel/lipstick.

- Adding a 2nd (30’') cold shower to the 1st before sleep at night improves sleep. Cream OK too.

- Sometimes lying too long seems a problem, sometimes not.

- Sleep techniques are getting clearer: positions, sequences, hacks.

- Sitting on bar stool better: I’ll try to do it similar everywhere, esp. work!

- Researching amino acids deeper as well as interesting deep & lengthy forum work this week.
