## Highlights this week - Sep 20th to 26th

**Flare Friday to Friday…  
despite serrapeptase, tryptophan & changing theanine…  
stopped praps by weather, SAMe and/or magnesium malate…**

Emojis of the week: 😦 😯 😳 😟 but still happy 😃

1. **Supps** : OK, but not improving reliably. 🧐
2. **GABA** 3x600 OK 🧐
3. **Glutamine** still not more, but overdosing it didn’t help stiffness.
4. **Theanine** still OK, but might still be making sleep too light towards the end?
5. **Tryptophan** seems OK, but not enough decisive improvement.
6. **Serrapeptase** no longer miracling, despite taking more due to tooth inflammation.
7. **ZInc** and **magnesium malate** additions at 8:00 are OK, no sfx.
8. Same with **SAM-e**. Worsening Friday & sfx?, but improving Sat, so can’t be the SAM-e.
9. NADH/+ & Ribose **ordered** now for waking/fatigue, also need more serrapeptase again.
10. Supps - esp. encapsulating them - are getting confusingly much, but each is still making sense.
11. **Acupressure** : Neck has now remained good = 90°, so I’m keeping up those exercises.
12. **Neck:** Watch out if I still get nausea from staying turned to the side (to someone), or not.
13. **Posture** : Next keeping shoulders back, back upright, if possible.
14. **Activities & Actions** : Mask-talking better, pee pain stable, arms worse: shoulders back?
15. **TT** : Dead easy again after a tough exhaustible week.
16. **Cycling** I used **energy bursts** to catch up with my wife, after needing to fall back 3x.
17. **Sleep:** Still Fragile: Kept sleep breaks to usually \<1h, but “small” things smash it up.
18. **Passiflora** maybe needs to be split up more over the night. Same if I try adding **melatonin**.
19. **Drinking** less at night to pee less causes a big headache: don’t.
20. Sleep **position** still rescue position (back twist): No lower back unrest if I avoid lying on my SIJ.
21. **Compelling images** for getting back to sleep is sth. I’m still working on.
22. **GI:** Good. Take care, walnuts & cashews hurt my mouth insides a bit.
23. **Generally** : **Worse all week** since last Friday: Colder weather?! 🧐
24. If not weather: No acupressure, diff. supps, tooth inflammation, too much work before, bedtimes?
25. The tooth inflammation may be something big, but my jaw pain is as ever only slight. Tea tree oil.
26. If it is the weather, I need to **watch what I put on/take off** much more closely again.
27. **Paced** beautifully, slow, taking control of my environment, self-advocating to people how far I can go.
28. **Magnesium malate** from Thurs on coincided with SAMe, warmth & improving Sat. 🧐
29. Eyesight seems improved this week.
30. 2 pains in mouth: tea tree oil/Marigold, 2 on feet: Arnica & tea tree oil… Improving.
