2022-04-26, Tuesday - 15%, increasing to 20% in the evening, due to the acupuncture

Sleep 50%, but 80% restorative, Energy (FM + MCAS) 20%, Suppleness 80% Alertness 90%, Feeling Well - night 70% - day 80% / Ache 30-25% Local Pains 5%, MCAS 30%, Self-treatments >1h/d, Chinese acupuncture 2.5h/wk
22:20 Realizing by focusing on these % that the MCAS symptoms are far higher than I thought: not being able to cold shower is…

ACTIVITIES (aim: 40%)ACHE: Starting at 80%/2 after 3h of Yoga Nidra to at last get enough rest. TT :ping_pong: 3:1 in the late afternoon, wouldn’t’ve been able to at midday
took part passively in an online workshop for work ➔ 80%/2 :white_check_mark:
ACTIONSPAINS: :white_check_mark: neck :face_with_monocle:: massage gun at night.:white_check_mark: GI: OK-ish :white_check_mark: jaw: 1-2x a few seconds under strain :face_with_monocle:. 3xp1-2 in the evening: more GABA? No, normalized again I think. Sudden plantar fasciiitis stab in left ball of foot during table tennis. :x:
MCAS/HIT-Symptoms/Triggers/Treatments: :white_check_mark:. 19:50 Slightly burning tongue before eating, after 19:00 supps with a mouthful of almond drink. Stronger at 21:10 after 50ml soy yogurt. :face_with_monocle:. 22:00 Sinuses a bit. :face_with_monocle: 22:20 Again not able to cold shower, hurting after mainly warm - haven’t been putting that down to MCAS lately, but it is that and nought else, so that takes my MCAS score up to at least 30%, since not being able to cold shower might be causing or exacerbating the insomnia. :x: No further symptoms at night :white_check_mark: except as ever a very dry hurting mouth at night which I pretty sure had before the jabs. :face_with_monocle:

Treatments

Docs:
Chinese Acupuncturist - Still not good :x: from 21st. Brought my energy back up from 10% to 15-20% for a few days, however it wasn’t down to 10% that long. It was praps the restart of acupuncture. Have to tally the development since last time I did that, under “Development” on the 21st, copied it here. % = energy (fits better than agility/mobility).
Acupuncture #9 on 29th: 10->20%, 30th: 20%, 31st: 20%, 1st: 20%, 2nd: 20%, = 4 days up at 20%.
3rd: 25% (cortisol), 4th: 25%, 5th: 25%, 6th: 25%, 7th: 25%, 8th: 25%, = 6 days up at 25%.
9th: 30%, 10th: 30%, 11th: 30%, 12th: 30%, = 4 days even higher at 30%.
13th: 20%, why down? I was thinking because I needed a session, but:
Acupuncture #10 on 14th: 30%, 15th: 20% (30%), 16th: 20%, 17th: 25%, 18th: 20%,
Acupuncture #11 on 19th: 15%, 20th: 10%.
Acupuncture #12 on 21st: 10→20% (like #9?!), 22nd: 15-20%, 23rd: 20%, 24th: 20%, 25th: 15%. (Pain high, sleep bad.)
Acupuncture #13 on 26th: 26 needles in my front, more than ever, plus 22 in my back, so close to 50 needles! And quite a few hurt putting in, some while in, but OK once out and off, just a few hours “recovery”. Energy increased to 20% by the evening and no other problems except too awake for getting to bed early.
