Triggers & resulting Symptoms
JAB#3 (on Nov 7th) → MCAS / histamine since end of Dec: 15-20% energy for under 45’, then white lips & pale face. But if I keep strain down to ‘half speed’ (70%) I can push on thru for hours - with a few breaks and lots of task-switching. Not that much specifically histaminey problems since end of Dec, occasionally sinuses and nausea, no more ill ache. Usually white lips & face 30%, and some sliding instead of walking indoors 10%, bit more cold intolerance 30% (long johns 24/7, 2 thick duvets at night).

Treatments
Bloods at cardio Dec 9th: Homocysteine a bit high, continue B3 and B2, phosphate not that bad. Leukocytes low! CK, muscular, too high, praps fibro?
Alternative health practitioner Dec 6th+20th: Mailed her my questions back.
Chinese Acupuncturist - Session #32 on Nov 4th., after 14 days “Energy still pretty stable at 20%, despite jab-nausea…”, now it’s down from that so often that I tried #33 22nd Dec. Wasn’t worth it: No improvement, sleep too short.

Supps Nov 27th (45 supps): Supp costs:~421€/m (27th): 28th Dec: Ordered Practitioner's #1) masterwort / Imperatoria ostruthium, #2) Hexacyl (Sulfur D4, Lycopodium Ø, Berberis Ø), #4) Steirocall comp. (for "arthrosis" & bones) (& umckaloabo), altho I'm not at all sure about any of these. Then 5-MTHF/folate & #7b) Hericium. And rutin. 27th Dec: Ordered another 2000 empty capsules, that makes 1000/m = 33/d (16€/m). 24th Dec: Need rutin (from Big A.) again. Practitioner's #3) following/parallel Bitter herbs, #5) upping pantothenic acid from 2 to 3, #6) instead of getting the glutathion activator of which I'm already taking almost everything in more fitting doses except manganese now new: B9 as 5-MTHF and upping MSM in Feverfew slowly from 1 to 3. But reducing glutathion 4x250 to 1, and before meals like it says everywhere else, not after like it says on this tub. 7) instead of taking Pro Mucosa by Tisso I prefer to add at most biotin (B7) and for the intestines the (fig) enzyme ficin (some say similar to pepsin & trypsin), altho I only reacted to enzymes like NADH & serrapeptase for a few doses, but I already take everything else in it. 8) Received & taking chlorella. Dec 12th I think it was I finally sorted out: Vit.C not with copper, so Cu in the evenings and vit. C the meals before, New idea: Creatine? ATP again, encapsulated, for phosphate??

Development
Interesting that certain forms of housework for a short time (taking washing down, scrubbing the balcony) and being with the kids for half an hour are much more of a strain on me than uncluttering, carrying lots of heavy stuff in my own pace, cycling around slowly to get rid of or move it all… - task switching and own pace may be part of it, praps also moderate movement instead of bad postures or sitting…
‘Research’ today: No.
ToDo: RSM webinars on lipids Nov 15th, supps on Dec 2nd - still need to get round to that, the fibro webinar transcripts and the MCAS summit before that, as well as reading Murphree’s fibro book, might get a newer edition of that.
Lessons in self-care #534 It was fairly “necessary” to go to bed late yesterday, but this is now the occasion to swap to a considerably earlier bedtime!
Reasons to be cheerful #570 Fun seeing the kids for over an hour, altho very strenuous for me.
- 8 weeks after jab#3: stabilized
