2022-01-15, Saturday - 4xTT! :ping_pong::bangbang: Supps & breath more :pill: & :lungs:

v3: 13:45 4TT OK (dizzy). Upping 5 supps.
v2: 10:10 Good night. Breath-holds getting closer to 3x3 minutes. Next: Increase stamina? (by >WHM! TT & 1’-workouts?)
v1: 20:35 histaminey-headache stopped by earlier GABA. 22:10 breath-holding to prepare for the cold shower & sleep. Fennel tea again instead of soy milk. Zero tolerance for each & every single symptom :bangbang:

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 8h34, up 5x (29') ✅, ➔ Feeling 90 well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅, waking up: 90%/1 ✅. Breath-holding before cold showering was good for the cold shower, but gave me too much energy for sleeping, OTOH a very good night. Try again. Tea at night increases pee pain, but not the frequency, try again, praps GABA needs further adjusting. For sleep amount I now always calculate getting to 8h30 or above, using Yoga Nidra if necessary, too awake.

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!
cold shower p0 Sleep 23:00- too much energy from the breath-holding… )?! and wanting to research histamine supps & diet more.

ACTIVITIES (aiming for 40% - well 20% - of pre-fibro)ACHE: doing a bit, getting queasy after 20’ ➔ 80%/2, breath-hold ➔ 90%/1 :white_check_mark:, ate late & a lot of gluten-free muesli, then housework made me a little dizzy and TT 4 games at 11:50 dizzy & nauseous, but not Achey ➔ 70%/1 :face_with_monocle:
(e.g. cycle :biking_man:, TT = :ping_pong:, meetings/social :speaking_head:, mask :mask:, kids :child:, work ➔ ?80%/2) ?:white_check_mark::x::face_with_monocle:
ACTIONSPAINS: :white_check_mark:, except 3xp2, I think from tea. GI loose, I think due to psyllium: Less water or stop it.
(e.g. lie, stand, loins, sit, arms up, neck, stiff, walk, cycle, 0xp1-2, GI, talk, mask.)

SELF-PHYSIO (click for details): 2h33 ✅. Didn't feel the need for more today, but ZERO tolerance, immediately I felt a slight pain in my left thigh, I got the massage gun.

These are the supps Hoffman centre say I should change:
:white_check_mark: A.1 Quercetin – up to 4x.5g/d,
:new::soon: A.2 2x175mg/d ECGC. eBay: fsa, Made in Germany, 90x.25g 15€ = 5€/m,
:new::soon: A.4 Chamomile tea (Apigenin, luteolin) – 1 to 2 cups before bed,
:new: A.6 Diamine oxidase enzymes (DAO) – 2cps/meal
:white_check_mark::face_with_monocle: A.7 Vitamin C 1-3 g daily - praps up.
:new: B.1 Luteolin – 2x.1g/d.
:white_check_mark: B.2 Ginkgo up to .5g/d, = 3x.
:new: B.3 Silymarin (Mariendistel) – 1-2x.5g/d.
:new: B.4 Shea oil (isn’t this shea butter?) 3 cps
:new: B.5 ellagic acid (Granatapfel) .5g/d

Supps: CHANGE: Order CoQ10, SAMe & theanine; & DAO & Cu. Remember Ribose for energy. Earlier GABA helped sinuses, acupressure was OK, but not yet perfect for nostril. Started vit. C 2x.5g again, if that's OK, more. Qc now up to 4, ginkgo 3 & pine 2. PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY: click for details:

Development
Idea :one: Increase stamina? (by >WHM! TT & 1’-workouts?)
Idea :two: Diet: Gluten-free muesli instead of rice or potatoes? - but with soy milk or not? (The last straw was the jab, not IBS, maybe more supps are better for nutrients and sanity…)
*Long idea list (25): *Doing 1-10-12 is helping. 11 = increasing nux to several times daily. 13/16/17 = I’ll test DAOsin & copper anyway. 14 = I’m gradually lowering histamine in food. Won’t try 15 = antihistamines. Didn’t ask 18 = B3. Docs: Contacted 19 ex-sleep psychiatrist & 20 Cort Johnson & 25 2 immunologists near me, 21 + 22 = I’m checking what Klimas & Chheda say about MCAS, 24 I have a GI-referral for my dysphagia, but need to get everything else down first, if it’s due to MCAS I’ll maybe get it under control that way.

Jab-sfx:
Research-search today:
Mast cells are responsible for many inflammatory reactions, not just allergic ones!: The mast cell demystified: A novel target for anti-inflammatory strategies after circulatory arrest? - ScienceDirect

Reduce allergens (German link): air, mold, stress, scents, pollen, bed clothes, plants, animal hair, chemicals, noise.
Eat foods with quercetin, luteolin & PEA (German link): blueberries?!, apples, broccoli (beans if no histamine intolerance); carrots, salad, oregano, rosmarin, thyme, olive oil, green peppers & camomille tea.
Hoffman centre says esp. avoid (just those I eat: Dairy (especially fermented dairy like kefir), Gluten, Vinegar, Leftover and aged food – especially if left in the refrigerator and not frozen immediately, Berries – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries(?)

Histamine in pumpkin seeds? Controversial - most say OK, here it says no.

Lessons in self-care #188 Took some time to add the new supps here, just those I already HAVE, still haven’t put them on the big overview…
Reasons to be cheerful #198 Good day, apart from dizziness from TT, coz kept to the sweet spots.
Reasons to be cheerful #199 Got a “gig” in a service tomorrow, just 3 songs, careful tho!
