ACTIVITIES (aim: 40%) ➔ ACHE: TT 
3:0, first game dead easy, then only just about, cos of pain and weakness. ➔ 70%/2->4 , then after recovering from acupuncture about 80%/2 and lots of music making.
ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: neck: sometimes supple , sometimes stiff . GI: Hardly stomach pain tonight. jaw: Eating chocolate one-sided in the middle of the evening meal was OK. Apple sauce (low sogar, acidic) is tough for the teeth, if not for the jaw.
MCAS/HIT-Symptoms/Triggers/Treatments: Continuing hazelnuts has been OK. Adding soft cheese also.
Fibro & Touch: The kind of yucky Ache I got up with today does not want to be touched at all! Better after that got better, but still not really wanting/needing touch.
Covid-danger: My wife started getting a bit lax yesterday, playing the amount of contact she had down (only a few minutes, with mask, distanced and with all doors & windows open). But I’m not sure, so playing it pretty safe. Eating only with 5 yards distance, airing and disinfecting etc. all the time. Getting unsure if it’s necessary, lax partly.
Treatments
Docs:
Chinese Acupuncturist - Tuesday 29th: A neighbour just asked me “Is a goal in sight?” Good question. I answered “I’m a bit hopeful.” What would be a goal? Toughest goal would be to reach the 40% of physical activity before the jabs. Alternatively something similar, where I’m praps suppler than pre-jab, but more pain. Not necessarily to be able to go to work properly again tho. Perspective for acupuncture is now going down from next week to 1x/w, for another 10-20x.

Development
‘Research’ today:
Nolotil is highly used here in Germany as ‘Novalgin’: Bloods need to be checked for (rare but deadly) agranulocytosis as soon as flu-like symptoms, even temperature, occur. In Spain it’s being systematically overdosed, which needs to be changed.
Sort of interested in an article that a few Britains in Spain have died from using it. I Got big-eyed seeing that’s metamizole / di-pyrone.Invented here in Germany 100 years ago and still highly used as ‘Novalgin’.
My first/only rheum.-prescription for fibromyalgia…! (But my skin reacted strongly to it.)
I’ve always wondered why I’m the only one who got this…!
The main problem is that it “very rarely” causes agranulocytosis - deadly if not recognized.
The numbers vary greatly according to studies, as is usual with very rare occurrences.
Agranulocytosis and neutropenia are caused by a very large number of meds, e.g. in the UK and elsewhere people need to be nationally registered for monitoring if they are taking clozapine for schizophrenia etc.
Workarounds in Germany for still highly using it:
a) Don’t take with methotrexate (esp. autoimmune diseases),
b) check bloods if there is any suspicion and especially
c) stop intake immediately with flu-like symptoms, even just temperature/light fever,
d) educate & inform GPs and patients about this.
Several Spanish articles from 2021 also suggest: It’s been systematically overdosed there (2g per 8h) and that desperately needs to be changed, e.g. Are we overdosing parenteral metamizole? | Cirugía Española (English Edition)
Lessons in self-care #260 Used the energy etc. for a bit of work and a lot of music, not really overdoing it, I think.
Reasons to be cheerful #265 Acupuncture good again!
