2021-10-18, Monday - again great sleep, only 17’, 4 breaks - but GABA overdose!
Just 400mg (I take 3x600mg without problems): focal seizures and incredible bladder pain and frequency, now I remember how it used to be!
The added GABA wasn’t necessary, I’d just seen a certain supp-combi and thought I’d try to repeat it one more time at night, reduced: but it doesn’t work like that, that’s comfirmed!
Triggers & resulting Symptoms
SLEEP: 8h17, up 4x (17') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅. Using an expensive minty essential oil mixture 'breathe well' for my stuffy nostril worked without acidity sfx!
No fw!

Treatments
Supps TAKEN TODAY: sleep ✅, starting PF early, plus a 3rd GABA (instead of mumijo and rosewort) was also good. Yesterday I had longer sleep stints, but also one longer break. ✅ Still no Ribose; still no GI... ✅. Meal end now: 13:40... (mumijo & SRP), 17:20 a focal seizure, and before that more bladder pain means GABA was overdosed tonight! Trying glutamine as antidote stopped further seizure-ishness, but once my bladder's set off it takes many hours to calm down again.
/19:55 mumijo. P5P. 1st 1x289 passiflora = PF, selene, 1x rosewort/Mg carbonate/B1 at meal.

Supps to KEEP UP (3): passiflora, GABA, theanine ✅, to WATCH (10): Mumijo 2-3h from other meds, and that and SRP 2-3h after meals, both for inflammation (tooth!!) So I need to note/remember meal ends now. 🧐. Daytime: Mg malate & glycinate (< 6, GI), NAC, P5P, NADH, ribose only in emergencies. ✅🧐, ↗2-3x rose root, Sfx?: Ribose (GI!?!) Feverishness? 🧐.

Medicinal clay never stopped my gastric acidity in my twens, but is bentonite - or am I - different now? (= 95% Montmorillonite; zeolithe is OK too. IBSD & -C; not together with other supps… (ZdG))

THERAPIES:
Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:
Development:
I shd praps write a “my successes, my fails” as part of my reference section.
To put my supp-development short I just wrote someone “thanks to the new powders (aside of the previous neurotransmitters/amino acids and passiflower now a cough expectorant (amino acid-derivate), a sugar - however with sfx - and a vitamin B3-variant)”… And:
I’ve actually still got Mucuna on my list (the one-after-last, which is ALC ;-)…): Ayurvedic, good for neurological disorders and arthritis, so why not… I fear I’ll be getting bored in a few weeks, Dr. JayCyll at the end of his list, and no more Mr. Hyde sfx from (having to) overdose… more stability, less suprises (?!) yawn ;->
Lessons in self-care #96 Oh well, back down with the GABA tonight.
Reasons to be cheerful #99 Wonderful how clearly the overdose shows how well GABA usually works.

Abbreviations & explanations
Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.
Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments
My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.
TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD
’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.
SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i
slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.
ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"
TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.
SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.
SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)
The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “
” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins
