2022-05-17, Tuesday - 25 Tired, despite making up for yesterday night…
Whoops, forgot the 23:00 supps, then all went askew due to not eating for the bloods in the morning…
Then an hour of body burning, maybe serotonin syndrome, due to taking too much GABA in one go, can’t reconstruct how what happened…

Chinese Acupuncturist - #17 on 10th . (Sleep & +25% GABA helping.) Maybe the heat lamp for my back isn’t necessary in these warmer temperatures - and my nostrils close, maybe from that lamp.
Antibody-titre bloods drawn at cardio, and got given a rest of a Pfizer-jab to be given to the university allergists in 3 weeks, however that will help them.

Supps May 11th (~27): Supp costs:~289€/m (May 16th) CHANGED: Still 4 passiflora, 5x0.6g GABA, most stuff back on. DAO seldom. Drat getting an over-reaction at 15:55 heat/burning/tingling: Too much GABA? No, rather not enough? Nothing fits. But kept calm and rested, pretty much gone at 16:45.

Development
The thing about basing my symptom assessment on the criteria is that they are deliberately rough, for easy diagnosis, and not fine-tuned enough for my analyses.
’Research’ today: No, only forum bits, and bits of studies, not really anything new.
