2022-04-17, Sunday 25% - I may need to reduce the MCAS-supps as they are being taken over by the acupuncture (seizures seem to be showing I’m supplementing too much serotonin, rather than too little).
Triggers & resulting Symptoms
SLEEP (click for details): 7h55, up 3x (13') + 15' = 8h10 ✅, but ➔ Feeling 80% well, Ache 2 of 7 🧐, getting up: 80%/2 🧐

2:15 4’ 80%/2 p0 st1 sip fw1’
3:50 5’ 80%/2 p0 st1 sip fw1’ air cream gel (nostrils slight). Is luteolin zombifying, or something else in A3?
6:00 4’ 80%/2 p0 st1 sip fw1’ air cream. Slightly nostrils & stomach nauseous. Sleep now getting lighter, due to bed too late?

Sum: = 8h08-(4-5-4=)13 = 7h55, up 3x (13’) + 15’ = 8h10
ACTIVITIES (aim: 40%) ➔ ACHE: Lots of rest, 20’ of gardening, 2x10’ slow cycle, 2x30’ housework, 2-3 10’ phone calls, 1.5h slow walk with breaks all ➔ 80%/2, but my wife thinks she sees quite a bit of pain, whilst I have the feeling as I’m not moving much I’m OK. 
ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: 
neck: bit stiff, keeping treatment up: . GI: OK-ish, bit of stomach, bit loose: jaw: Controlling it better, hardly any pain today: .
MCAS/HIT-Symptoms/Triggers/Treatments: . Decrease GABA and other histamine supps now, due to focal seizures & feeling worse pointing me to acupuncture perhaps beneficially taking over! A bit of sinuses and skin burning in the morning after some housework (tidying up).

Chinese Acupuncturist - 14th: Feeling worse on Friday plus 3 focal seizures show that serotonin was changed. Slight seizures had also sometimes been occurring during the session, more than during acupressure sessions. Looking it up (again) I found it may decrease histamine (but the acupuncture points contain increased mast cells, so watch out what that may effect in) Acupuncture as effective as (some) antihistamines | Healing Histamine and increases serotonin:
The effects of acupuncture on serotonin metabolism - ScienceDirect = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304746836_The_effects_of_acupuncture_on_serotonin_metabolism 2016, review of 32 studies.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321849867_Acupuncture_causes_serotonin_release_by_mast_cells = Acupuncture causes serotonin release by mast cells - PubMed = Acupuncture causes serotonin release by mast cells. :: MPG.PuRe 2017: degranulation of 5-HT-immunopositive MCs.
Acupuncture stimulates the release of serotonin, but not dopamine, in the rat nucleus accumbens - PubMed 2006 (rats)
Conclusion: I need to decrease GABA as well as the antihistamine supps (like I’ve already stopped the antihistamine itself). Overdoing it I did have some histaminey sinus “stress”, so not too quickly or much.
Next acupuncture: Tuesday, 19th.
Also on 2022-01-10 I’d found “acupuncture improves cytokines, e.g. Effect of acupuncture on inflammatory cytokines expression of spastic cerebral palsy rats - PubMed”. It also says there acupressure decreases histamine: Expert acupuressure wasn’t working at all, but self-applied helps/-ed.
Here was the Hoffman list A-&B-Team. I could keep up quercetin, ginkgo, pycnogenol vit. C, but take down EGCg, chamomile tea, luteolin, silymarin, ellagic acid, honokiol/magnolia and partheolide/feverfew first. If I don’t take down GABA yet: Tuesday morning at the latest!
