2022-04-29, Friday - 17% - Only new tendency was adding .2g GABA Friday evening as I was getting pee pain, meaning low or high serotonin, plus doing a little deep breathing. Is that the way?
Sleep 70%
Energy (FM + MCAS) 17%
Suppleness 80%
Alertness 90%
Feeling Well - night 70% - day 70%
Ache 30%
Local Pains 5% (unrest in the evening, so a bit of short gentle yoga)
MCAS (except energy) 15%: sinuses a bit.
Self-treatments >1h/d - 1h of Yoga Nidra
Chinese acupuncture 2.5h/wk
Triggers & resulting Symptoms
SLEEP (click for details): 8h35, up 5x (55'), +1h Yo.Ni = 9h35 OR 9h35, up 6x (1h25) ✅, but ➔ Feeling 70% well, Ache 2 of 7 🧐, getting up: ?70%/3 ❌. I'd been thinking that to decide if I'm feeling well enough to stop sleeping further it might be helpful to stretch around a bit upon awakening. But today I realize that I'm feeling well in the warmth of the bed, unwell getting up after 8h35, then good again during and after 1h of Yoga Nidra, but getting up after 9h35 I again feel unwell, nauseous & cold. But a little more restored. Which is a bit strange, cos when I get up at night, I scale my feeling well at "70%", however praps that's how I feel while getting up, but better while lying down??

’Research’ today: Someone mentioned Mickel Therapy, something I’d seen mentioned a few days ago. I’ve watched and read up it’s a form of talk therapy touted in England by David Mickel, with high claims and normal prices for talk therapy for ‘lumped together fatigue disorders’ ME & CFS & FM. The main website has been given up, and nothing about it seems convincing of its worth, neither the documentary on BBC Alba (= Gaelic parts with subtitles, nice to hear that) ME: The Toxic Tiredness (Part 2) - YouTube, nor the critical comments below it, nor review and comments here ‘ME – The Toxic Tiredness’ programme on BBC Alba – both parts now available to watch | The ME Association. 
Quote from the video "The doctor says that he thinks the problem I have, and the reason I still have this illness is that I don’t have enough “me-time”. ME: The Toxic Tiredness (Part 2) - YouTube.
This I think, like is also said by other docs in the vid, is something we can get in any talk therapy. If Mickel himself says in it that he has the hypothesis that it’s about coming to terms with emotions that are causing a hypothalamus problem, then the hypothalamus part is indeed very much a hypothesis, whilst the talk therapy can help some of us. I’ve been using it as a nice extra, had to shop around to find someone right for me tho. Maybe with Mickel therapy we have people who at least are heading in the right direction.
So - I would on second thoughts agree to recommend trying it if that seems to fit. Here it says how much it costs and how long it takes Mickel therapy - MEpedia Staging and here it give a rough overview how it works / doesn’t work Mickel Therapy - Intuitive Health
