Highlights this week - Aug 8th to 14th - back to a fairly good balance

Symbol & emoji of the week: :white_check_mark: :relieved:

  1. Self-discipline: Instead of procrastinating breakfasting, I now just do it first thing when I’m hungry. :upside_down_face:
  2. Supps: Back on track. :smiley:
  3. Balancing serotonin & dopamine is the challenge; amounts, times & selectivity tough. :face_with_monocle:
  4. 600+600 GABA is OK :white_check_mark:, incl. bp/pulse. Less compulsive fw, more housework. :smiley:
  5. Theanine to 400mg took sleep length down. Back to 300mg is OK, but not lower now. :face_with_monocle:
  6. Glutamine at 2:00 helps. But next down a bit, then up with glycinate. +Taurine. :face_with_monocle:
  7. drjockers recommends what I’m doing, but his doses are strange, so I wrote… :face_with_monocle:
  8. Bladder pain has been as good as before the GABA overdose. :smiley:
  9. Activities & actions were pretty good. :smiley:
  10. Back mobilization was good, neck & back group gently was good, but slightly too much. :smiley:
  11. The linseed oil I’d started using was off, came across a caveat on the web. :skull_and_crossbones: :woozy_face:
  12. My docs’ “Mediterranean” diet is actually ‘Nordic’: canola oil, joghurt, skyr… :hushed:
  13. Symptoms: GI (0-1) :white_check_mark:, bladder (0-1) :white_check_mark:, jaw :white_check_mark:, energy great :white_check_mark:. Exhaustion isn’t.:x: :smiley:
  14. Yoga Nidra videos help substitute sleep, sometimes intenser than AuTr. :white_check_mark:
  15. Reacting flexibly & quickly to cold & hot flashes is helping. :smiley:
  16. Stiffness: watching, counting how long (30’’-1’), pain if I don’t wait (5), if I do (1-2?). :face_with_monocle:
  17. Right loin returned, so need to :arrow_right: go to gym again. :white_check_mark:
  18. Got pee frequency down at night by more drink discipline & dry mouth gel/lipstick. :smiley:
  19. Adding a 2nd (30’’) cold shower to the 1st before sleep at night improves sleep. Cream OK too. :smiley:
  20. Sometimes lying too long seems a problem, sometimes not. :face_with_monocle:
  21. Sleep techniques are getting clearer: positions, sequences, hacks. :smiley:
  22. Sitting on bar stool better: I’ll try to do it similar everywhere, esp. work! :white_check_mark:
  23. Researching amino acids deeper as well as interesting deep & lengthy forum work this week. :face_with_monocle:
