Treatments
Supps TAKEN TODAY: After yesterday's GABA overdose I've realized I've been feeling seizure-ish during table tennis for quite a few weeks, whether I'm focused or not. Need to reduce GABA, it's been 3x600mg lately, and I think 4x600 again last night, whilst it was only 400/600/400 in Sept. sleep? Also I seem to have taken Ribose? Meal ends?.. (mumijo & SRP),
REDUCE GABA to 400/600/600 & checking if sleep stays good/better, before trying some ribose again
/20:35 P5P. 1st PF, selene, 1x rosewort/Mg carbonate/B1 at meal. Not mumijo! (later…)
/22:00 1st GABA, glutamine, 2nd PF
/23:20 2nd 600mg GABA, 1st !100mg theanine, 3rd passiflora, 1st serrapeptase = SRP
/01:40 3rd 400mg (I think 600) GABA, 2nd 100mg theanine, 4th passiflora, 2nd SRP,
/03:15 2 mumijo
/07:05 zinc, 3rd SRP, 3rd mumijo
/08:10 600 GABA !100mg theanine, 1 Mg glycinate. NAC.

/13:50 500 NAC, 1 malate, 1 SRP, 14:00 1st ALC to get a bit more alert.
?16:40 NAC, Mg glycinate, SRP.
?19:45 Mg malate, NAC, NADH, as well as SRP before eating and to help calm my muscles down.

Supps to KEEP UP (3): passiflora, GABA, theanine ✅, but REDUCE GABA to 400/600/600 & check if sleep stays good/better, before trying some ribose again. WATCH (10): Mumijo 2-3h from other meds (around 11:00), 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? 🧐. Glutamine? START/CHANGE: ALC ✅/❌/🧐
SLEEP:
Passiflora 4x289mg: drowsier, but not too much, deeper, shorter breaks. 18th: Starting earlier.
GABA 2x600mg: deeper, 10 areas in daytime
theanine 1x300 relaxed, not too long

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.
[details=“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.
[details="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.
[/details]
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
