11:30: Slept 10 to 4 and 7 to 11 (the cortisol, not the pain) :crazy_face: :face_with_monocle:
13:00 :ping_pong: 4:0, pain of 4.
19:00 After lots of rest felt like doing something, so 10’ of sweeping around the house and 25’ of pruning and sawing fairly thick dead branches from a large thorny bush. Quite some sports.

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 5h53, up 3x (67') +4h15 = 10h08 OR 10h08, up 5x (3h07) ❌/✅, but ➔ Feeling 70% well, Ache 3 of 7 ❌, getting up: 70%/3 ❌. From 10 to 4 and from 7 to 11. 🧐

-5:05 Tried wife’s suggestion of walking round the block. 35’. Hmm, can’t see how that was sposed to help. Nice listening to the birds and walking into backyards without anyone being annoyed. But I’m even more awake now, no chance of sleep. Also too late for a warm or cold shower. Bit of housework - actually looking for a light bulb so I can try reading, with a soft light. Altho enough daylight’s here now. Tried reading something boring. Still not tired. Eating. 6:30: Pain increasing. Maybe another sleep stint soon? ➔ 60%/4

OR: 1h55+11h23-(12+15+40+1h55+3=)3h05 = 13h18-3h05=10h13, up 5x (3h05) (-35’ without Yo.Ni. = 9h35)

ACTIVITIES (aim: 40%) ➔ ACHE: In the long sleep break, my brain was pretty alert, but tired, whilst my body was fully awake. After getting up properly my brain is very alert, a bit tired, whilst my body is Aching, also a bit like sore muscles, the different kind of pain that gets overridden by activity, so I dared 4 games ➔ 80%/3, TT :ping_pong: 4:0 ➔ 80%/4 :face_with_monocle:

MCAS/HIT-Symptoms/Triggers/Treatments: :white_check_mark:. No nostrils or sinuses, maybe due to the long sleep break out of bed resetting it all? Or does less glutamine mean it was more serotonin/GABA?

Gotta watch out: I’ve just realized that I haven’t been taking most of my glutamine for quite a few days, because I’d put it on my encapsulating table for filling up, and not back in my supp-box. Could that / the amino acids be part of the dysbalance of the last few days?
