MCAS/HIT-Symptoms/Triggers/Treatments:
But fatigue still high
after tooth treatments and phosphate deficiency and despite acupuncture/sleep/cold showering as well probably as losing the CoV-antibodies.
, but I think I might be able to still tweak sleep better.
Touch:
Covid:
Weather: Indoors
Outdoors
.
Focal seizures: Light touch at 19:10 and 22:45, not sure why. GABA going wrong? I did have some bladder pain at 22:00 too, I’m just remembering. Add GABA? Again a light touch in the later night, trying to speak was English and fairly intelligible. No seizures in the daytime. Ah, forgetting the glutamine in the evening may have unbalanced, and that would explain the 2nd to 4th occurrence, not the first at 19:10 tho.
Treatments
Docs:
Dentist at midday went well.
. Didn’t bother asking when I should be back, since I’m there January anyway for cleaning.
Online course ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) starting Oct 24th. Writing quite a lot.
RSM Webinar on fatigue on Oct 25th. Still need to continue working thru.
Chinese Acupuncturist - Session #32 on 4th, after 14 days
But energy still down to 15% most of this week.
Session #33 indefinite, when I feel it fitting.
Alternative health practitioner: appt. on Dec 6th, doubt she’ll be able to help. But doesn’t matter, cos I can learn, understand and remember just by explaining to her. And it’ll be fun getting her confused. ![]()

Supps Oct 3rd (46 supps since mid-Sept): Supp costs:~368€/m (Oct 25th: one wrong price, some changed). CHANGED: Got quercetin and feverfew again today, Nov 4th, after about a week - praps energy going down was that? Ordering luteolin in 1-2 weeks. Niacin/nicotinic acid as powder is increased from about Nov 1st on to 0.5, 0.5, 0.4g (the last less so it doesn't keep my awake). Doubled vit. C to 2x2x0.5g from Oct 14th. Flushing B3 now already at 3x350mg since Oct 13th for another while before increasing. B2 increased to 400mg, see if the next bloods are OK. Nov 4th: Results of B1, 2, 3 and 6 not there yet, probably get them on Monday (7th), whilst B12 is sky high, so I can space the B12-jabs out for months again. New idea: Creatine. Levagen+-PEA seems better, so that next? Praps trying ATP again, encapsulated, since my phosphate is deficient. PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY: click for details:

Lessons in self-care #468 Good of me to stop TT after 2 games, cos I could see I was getting pain and knew I needed to be careful. Bit worrying regarding the jab on Monday being in a state like that…
Lessons in self-care #469 Clever to write down a message when job worries came up at night, worked in conjunction with immediate Yoga Nidra.
Reasons to be cheerful #469 Felt weird & bad, checked & saw I’d forgotten something, glutamine, took it and soon felt well/normal.
Reasons to be cheerful #470 Magpie Jacob & all our 3 pigeons, Tamino, Tammy and Rupfy (probably Tamino’s kids) were for the first time all at once feasting on our balcony food for them
Reasons to be cheerful #471 The balcony flowers I’ve been diligently pruning are now all blossoms like I was hoping but never would have thought possible.
Reasons to be cheerful #472 Quite a wait in the waiting room for a short term dentist appt, but I’d been brave enough to take my mat with me and sit on the floor in my good sitting position and that made time fly.
Reasons to be cheerful #473 2 fillings went quick and painless this time.
Reasons to be cheerful #474 Somehow it turned out that this would have been a necessary appointment sometime anyway, at least that’s what one said.
Reasons to be cheerful #475 Panic attacks that I’d forgotten to turn off the stove luckily turned out needless.
Reasons to be cheerful #476 Cycling home our local church falcon was circling above me.
Reasons to be cheerful #477 I could completely ignore someone having a go at me for cycling too fast on the pavement cos of my panicking about the stove.
Reasons to be cheerful #478 Perfect timing after dentist for eating the food I’d cooked in 20 minutes before the appointment.
Reasons to be cheerful #479 During acupuncture my mobile alarm suddenly went for 10 minutes. I used that to pace my breathing and found 6 in 9 out to be a perfect rhythm to get more oxygen thru the mask by deep breathing. Had to adjust it for certain situations, lying twist-stretched on my front it varied a bit and was less.
Reasons to be cheerful #480 Acupuncture incl. deep breathing went well, felt better after.
Reasons to be cheerful #481 An interesting job challenge I’d been worrying about at night could be well solved in the morning.
