My symptom & trigger hunt daily, for preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-07, Sunday - lots of re-arranging: flat, supps, head…

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 7h45, up 5x (1h30 - by choice) ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅. Tired, but I need to go to bed earlier, so praps get up earlier...

No fw!
FCS p0 23:45-
/01:35 4’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink fw1’ PF+sue2 quatro2
/02:40 4’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw2’ mumijo
/03:26 10’ 90%/1 p2 st1 drink fw1’ 0 (regularly tea tree oil & arnica)
/05:35 16’ 90%/1 p2 st1 drink fw1’ “Sue QQuatRo”
/07:11 56’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw2’ Dream about supp order, resulting in: ordering the bottles alphabetically (spirally) 6 -8:07–9:00
Sum: 15+9h-(4+4+10+16+56=)1h30 = 7h45, up 5x (1h30) or 15’+7h11-(4+4+10+16=)34’=7h26-34’ = 6h52, up 4x (34’) + 53’= 7h45.

ACTIVITIES ➔ ACHE: zoom service, singing loud, only short "break" (standing), 45' housework ➔80%/2, supp-research ➔ 90%/1, housework ➔ 90%/1, but tired early, maybe I'll manage bed earlier for once.

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: Everything pretty good today, but I need it not to have to socialize. ✅. Tummy aching after 10' of red heat lamp, bladder better today, wasn't out.

➔
Plantar fasciitis? Lying, standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.
Lie ➔ LBU = lower back unrest, hunchback, Neck, thighs, elbows, itch, cold/hot, nose stuffy, plantar fasciitis after
Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

“ToGo”-compartments for the 11:30-batch the next days:
A) ALC, B) Mg mal, C) NAC, D) NADH & (2xSRP); E) Rib separate with spoon.

Supps to CHANGE:

• Today : arranging supp bottles alphabetically,
• Today all info in a spreadsheet.
• Today : Re-checking 4-5x SRP.
• Today : 2x Resveratrol with 1x Quercetin before meal (for fats).
• (sleep): druggy-feeling at night?: 1 theanine at night again? or ½ or bed earlier?
• (FM): Re-check: SAM-e for sfx.
• adding esp. for lipids: arginine, niacin (B3),
• ordering: lecithin, pectin. red yeast rice extract; phytosterols? D3 with K2.
• checking: LC, PLC (propionylcarnitine), PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone), oxaloacetate;
• New doc for LDN?

Supps to KEEP (Click for all supp details - being re-arranged): ALC, GABA, ginkgo, glutamine, glycinate, malate, mumijo, NAC, NADH, P5P, Passiflora, CoQ10, Quercetin, Resveratrol, Rhodiola, Ribose, Selenium, serrapeptase, theanine, zinc.

SLEEP: !GABA with glutamine, 01 !theanine, !Passiflora, P5P & Rho. (eve), SRP, not Mg gly
Passiflora 4x289mg. Less?
GABA 2x600mg: deeper, & 10 symptoms. (Rhodiola & P5P help.)
glutamine 1x500mg: GABA antagonist. (Day: stiffness??)
P5P & Rhodiola (serotonin/GABA)
“1:00” 2 SRP serrapeptase 2x10.000IU before? sleep (but 2h after last meal!)
theanine: relaxation & alertness, so effective & shorter sleep.

INFLAMMATION: mumijo, NAC, Rhodiola, Q10 e.g. for jaw, SRP, Zn, better teeth-cleaning & red light for jaw.
5:30 SRP & SAMe: serrapeptase 2x10.000IU (more?), SAM-e, zinc only if picolinate.
Zinc bisblycinate with breakfast. GP: Not too much.
gums/jaw locally/regularly: tea tree oil, calendula, arnica, myrrh, red heat lamp, teeth.
20:00 Rhodiola 2-3x200mg (serotonin (like P5P), BBB & bp, so with GABA; anti-inflamm.!)
4:00 mumijo. 2-3x200-300mg/d 30’ b4 meal, 20-30d. Then 10d without,´ then another 20-30d.
SAM-e 2h after meals 1x100mg (max. !): pain, stiffness, sfx: GI, bladder!, dry mouth!, sleep!, serotonin-seizures! SAMe/SAM-e - #11 by JayCS. Or was this GABA? Anti-inflammatory? (Bloods?)
WAKE/FOG: GABA/theanine, 2xMg, NAC, NADH, ALC, ginkgo
8:00 GABA & theanine
/ Mg glycinate & malate <6x!
/ NAC seems to work, try without gly or ALC
/ ALC worked well instead of NAC Oct 26th, try without gly or NAC
ACHE: !GABA, NAC, !NADH, magnesium malate, mumijo, omega 3, Q10, SAM-e, SRP
!NADH. Oct 26th even during TT.
Serrapeptase up to 8x or more?
mumijo for “pain”.
ENERGY/FATIGUE: !Ribose, !NADH, NAC, ?ALC, ?Q10, ?ginkgo
Ribose (-6x2.5g) muscle fatigue/ATP; but GI-sfx! (so 3x0.1g), No sugar allowed - #7 by Lynne.
NAC fatigue, anti-infl. -2400mg: NAC = N-acetylcysteine
NADH/NAD+: Serrapeptase & NADH/NAD+ - enzymes - #4 by JayCS B3-coenzyme for energy (ATP) & post exertional malaise: 2.5mg (5x0.5), watch out for overstimulation & jitteriness. best 30’ before meals, says sourcenaturals…
NADH: 5-20mg every morning at least ½ hour before eating, no acids 2-3h after says Teitelbaum acc. to prohealth
/ Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC)?: LC first? Alert brain, dose: 2x750mg, for no sfx keep under 3000. Question about kinds of pain | Page 2 | Fibromyalgia Forum. Better for physical fatigue: LC? PLC?
// Q10/CoQ10: PERHAPS: antioxidant, heart, energy, ATP, FM (& migraine), but probably not CFS: reduces pain, tenderness, fatigue, and sleep issues, possibly (orally) blood pressure, blood fats, blood flow & gums, taken for 3-6 months, 300-2x200mg/d or 200+200ginkgo for FM, ubiquinol, The nutrient CoQ10 200 mg a day - #3 by JayCS
// glycine? Alertness
STIFFNESS: !GABA
Glutamine?: Low Dopamine in Fibromyalgia and CFS. Doesn’t work for me.
NOSTRILS STUFFY at night: Q10? Better since taking it…
tea tree oil (lavender not enough). “Breathe well” oils OK.
EVERYTHING: B12? Schüssler 2, 4 & 7
Vitamin B12: injections again.
// Schüssler 2, 4, & 7 (need 3-6 months sez my acupressurist).
ACID: !almonds
?Mumijo wasn’t working first: But heartburn/hungriness OK as of Nov 1st.
Bentonite?: Medicinal clay never stopped my gastric acidity in my twens, but is bentonite - or am I - different now? (= 95% Montmorillonite; zeolithe is OK too. IBSD & -C; not together with other supps… (ZdG))
RAYNAUD’S: Menthol locally, arginin (amino acid, 6-30g/d): sfx mainly skin, praps gut, overdose: fog. Helps blood flow as well as blood pressure
BLOOD FATS See “research-search today” on Nov 1st. Resveratrol (also ATP (Cort)),
ToDo: Next vitamin D3 with K2? That’s what a German expert blogger recommends. What was wrong with guaifenesin/Amand?

Development:

Re-arranged the supp-info.
Research-search today: Got all important info in one spreadsheet! For most of the 26 supps I’m taking, i.e. dose, when, serotonin / dopamine, fx, sfx and all links. Partly for the 16 still planned and some of those I didn’t tolerate or didn’t help.

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 7h45 (30' break) +1h20 doze/AuTr = 9h05 ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅ NAC before sleep was OK, but probably no improvement. Drowsy without theanine is probably better, at least I don' feel smashed like with melatonine etc.

Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:

Development:

Research-search today:

• I read up if red heat lamps can cause nausea, like they did me for over 30’ afterwards. Only on one seemingly reliable German page “light dizziness, nausea and sensitivity” was confirmed, but it also equated these with LLLT - low level laser therapy - my red heat lamp has nothing to do with LED or laser tho, it’s just a heating light bulb. I felt it didn’t work well, so I put it closer to me, <10’, but that may have been too close. This English page mentions that the light can sometimes increase an inflammation, but here it cuts that back to “To avoid increasing inflammation, wait 24 hours after an injury before using the lamp.” The only reputable site I found, German, just said ‘try it’ and that it’s better for pain from tension than some other things, but in their background info: It only penetrates the skin a little, so is not really able to get to things like the sinuses. That may be the reason why I felt I had to place/hold it fairly near (30cm/12’’).
• “Lipidology”: Red yeast rice for lipids can like statins cause myopathy if together with niacin, as it also contains monacolin K . I didn’t get myopathy from atorvastatin tho. However I don’t really want to take something like that, prefer alternatives. Thing is red yeast rice was shown to be better than others in that it decreases lipids, and whether CVD is decreased or stays the same is I think not known. But looking at my spreadsheet of supps I’ve just seen ALC also reduces lipids, whilst LC doesn’t, so that’d mean keeping with ALC, not LC, while they are still too high!
  Further supps: So ALC is better for my lipids than LC, PLC & oxaloacetate I can’t find a German supplier, PQQ I can, but not via my pharmacies; arugula is too ‘hot’ for my acidity);

Lessons in self-care #116 I need to curb acupressure, it’s too long at the moment.

• My “How to symptom track & trigger hunt”
• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-09, Tuesday - dead tired, but drastically tidied up in the cellar for 1h - I’m a good “stacker”, always good for a sense of achievement.

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

"SLEEP (click for details): 7h02, up 5x (2h13) ➔ Feeling 80% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅" - having forgotten my back exercises yesterday caused strong unrest which made me finish my supp re/search & order the next supps, which was satisfying but stressful for sleep...

Research-search today:

• Lots of details on supps to make sure the carnitin (L-carnitine tartrate) and the Q10: praps ubiquinone next after all, and what to take when, so I can organize the batches better.

• Q10 best with NADH, Selenium (Se) and oil, but oil/meals is important for ubiquinone, whilst ubiquitol goes without. However NADH without meals, Se with meals means I can’t do it right, so I’m now taking the Q10 with NADH without a meal (or praps a little omega 3 - canola oil) and the Se with meal. But that’s for the ubiquitol I’m now using. Once I return to ubiquinone I’ll take the Q10 with the Se with meals… - ye see why I’m confused about all this?!

Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

[JayCS]

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-10, Wednesday - ideal night: only up 3x (28’) - ideal day: supp-energy? - My %/1 has for the first time in 2 years improved to 100%/0 (in hindsight; tomorrow I’ll check that.)

(But remember: 25 supps, 1.5-2h/d of stretching etc. & 5h/wk acupressure)

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 9h02, up 3x (28') ➔ Feeling 100%! well, Ache 0! of 7 ✅, ideal

No fw!
FCS p0 Sleep 22:10-
01:42 8’ 90%/1 p2-3 st2 drink4 fw4’
04:49 14’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink2 fw5’ windows, teeth
6:55 7’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink3 fw2’ QcRsSa2Sr
-7:40
Sum: 1h50+7h40-(8+14+7=)28’ = 9h30- 28’ = 9h02, up 3x (28’)

ACTIVITIES ➔ ACHE: ➔ 100%/0, false start to a "very early" train (8:30) was premature, but managed the 8' sprint incl. running quite well... Second try (too cold to wait) was again with sprint, but that train was delayed 5', why not the first one? Murphy's Law...➔ 100%/0, despite 4h of mask-talking ✅, speed-cycling back, table tennis dead easy, zoom meetings longer than yesterday afternoon: 2h ➔ 100%/0 ✅✅

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: Brilliant ✅✅, due to supps and regular short stretching, back while lying praps better, now it's cold and I wrapped my upper Continental quilt over AND under my torso, so maybe my back does need it softer after all. Funny that trying a softer topper had seemed too soft... 🧐. BTW I had esophagus blocks on 3 consecutive days over the weekend - something I'd hoped GABA had pretty much got rid of; massaging/vibrating still helping after 3-5' ❌. Pee pain is still better, but also not perfect yet. Mask-talking today about 4 of 5 work hours, plus 2x15' train, with no problems: That is definitely the new supps! (I'm guessing: mitochondrial/ATP/antioxidative ones)✅✅

➔
Lying (feet?), standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.
Lie ➔ LBU = lower back unrest, hunchback, Neck, thighs, elbows, itch, cold/hot, nose stuffy, plantar fasciitis (feet) after
Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

It's never me that's meant, but I always have to act as buffer, until she apologizes and feels bad when she comes to her senses again.

Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:

Development:

• Forgot to include in yesterday’s comment about when to take Q10 that as I had the feeling it was helping with my stuffy nose at night, so taking .3g CoQ10-ubiquinol now instead of 5x0.6g CoQ10-ubiquinone might not help as much and I’d be wanting to take it in the evening or better still at night. However taking it with NADH wdnt be sensible at night, as NADH creates a lot of energy and’d wake me up… Tonight the nostrils were free, maybe late CoQ10 or airing in between.
• At the moment I’m concentrating on getting the (10) new batches sorted clearer, here & in my head.
• I’ll be adding the costs and the amounts (order-times) to the spreadsheet.

Research-search today: Only a bit on Alpha lipoic (as opposed to linolenic) acid, both ALA, which I can’t find any scientific evidence for it helping the mitochondria: aren’t people taking it confusing the two?

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-11, Thursday - good, but need more sleep tonight, some pains creeping up.

Today I again tested how near I was to 100%/0 like yesterday : Mask-talking & mask-exertion still good!

Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:

Development:

• On my treatment list from August there are 30 supps. Now I’m taking about 10 others for FM not yet on that list, 5 for CVD etc. and about 5 more coming up…
• The “4th Cov-wave” here is a bit scary. As I wrote a while ago, the results of Cort Johnson’s poll for the severely FM/CFS-ill suggest that I cd try the first Biontech/Pfizer vaccine to see how I react, but that chances are 20-30% that I will get severe symptoms for at least a month if I do, and my high oversensitivity increases that number. So physical distancing like never before and carrying on improving the supplements is all I can do. Considering work, supps etc. a good time for the vaccine might be Jan “3rd”, if I do want to take the plunge. However at the moment if I took it and did get a bad reaction I’d be angry with anyone trying to pressurize me. My table tennis mate tries to argue for doing it every few weeks… My wife has her doubts in both directions, but understands, my GP understands.

Research-search today: Bits’n’bobs again. First results about omega 3: organic microalgae Schizochytrium sp. seems even better than fish oil: both have more effective omega 3 than normal plants, but fish contains environmental toxins than its food the microalgae.

• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-12, Friday - unkind sleep, a bit of power mask-talking: ➔ Achy.

Mr. 40%-is-the-new- slipping & slithering on ice a few miles from the 40%-finishing pole… - will he ever make it?.. (see “development”…)

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 7h44, up 7x (1h35) ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅ At least 4 intense dream awakenings, at least 3 unkind: 2 about negligent fathers... And stomach burn. Supps? Won't be pectin, more likely the 'acidity' of carnitine. 🧐 Best treat it as a case of waiting a while. Nostrils free enough even without Q10 (just from airing) ✅

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!

03:46 35’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1 - sort of tired but awake, no idea why? Maybe the dream(s). Few ideas for work, but none worrying. Try airing? Nope. 2nd 6. Too late for FCS.
04:51 30’ 6. Later up quickly for: HWB.
07:00 8’ p0 st1 drink QRSS fw3’ Woke up from a dream of sort of lost in nowhere, then saw an act of extreme violence point blank - a father taking revenge on a son… hmmm…

Sum: 1h55+7h24-(11+8+3+35+30+8=)1h35= 9h19-(1h35)=7h44, up 7x (1h35)

ACTIVITIES ➔ ACHE: ➔ 90%/1, despite again shorter sleep. 50' Pretty full power mask-talking ➔ 80%/2, sort of resting, but not enough (at work), and 15' mask-talking, then commuting ➔ 80%/3, cryotherapy/acupressure ➔ 80%/2, supps ➔ 80%/1? table tennis: ➔ 70%/4, supps ➔ 80%/2.

Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:

Development:

Mr. 40%-is-the-new-… What does a 40% target do with me?

When talking with myself/you I use 90% as the target of 100% feeling well (as well as Ache of 1, where 0 would be normal and 3 is pretty bad, meaning I need to rest, can no longer do anything.) But this is the new normality within the boundaries of doing less than half the activities I used to be able to without any problems up to 2 years ago. So where are the limits and sweet spots of what I used to be able to? Yesterday I said 50% to a colleague is what I’m improving to, tending to, but thinking about it and also the days after not being as perfect as Wednesday, I’ve adjusted this to 40%. Meaning I’m actually at 30-35% and am hoping that these will increase to 40% and that when I am there I will be able to reduce my flares-inside-the-big-flare to 5-10% of days. Praps 30% for the sweet spots and 40% for the limits, which usually means overdoing it. This 30 going to 40% helps to communicate to my colleagues where I am and to my acupressurist when she has been asking: “What is still to do?” - which makes me feel like she thinks I am close to 100% (Her methods are close to 100%, but they are limited to my pains and can’t influence sleep or ache etc.). And when my wife says I always almost do too much, she is saying: accept the 30% more it will be better in the mid term, you never will be the kind of person to not do enough, so keep the overdoing it down.
The other side is “Is this only 30% of a life?” Firstly I’m happy almost all the time and I’ve never in my life been able so much to do what I want and need to do. Is want and need the same? Let’s say: Growing wiser and keeping more contact between mind, body and soul, want and need are very close together. I’m happy with not being able to do as much, with being at 30%. I’ve always had so many desires what I want, that this is helping me select some of them. And still they are not enough. I’ve always wanted to study again, wanted to learn something which has application to real life and can help myself and others, and this “learning my body” is a great study and whether here and elsewhere on the web or speaking with people live these are great places and times to learn, to get on, to develop.
A friend of ours a moment ago said as I used to do so much, 30% of that is praps sort of normal… My wife chimed in: Yeah, hyperactive. But that’s just fun, I used to do 130% of normal and 30% of that is 40% - that’s more it…

Research-search today:
Forgot: yesterday I researched BTH, butylated hydroxytoluene, as I’m still using a xylitol chewing gum for my teeth, altho they company decided to take that out, because it may be bad in large amounts (the Chinese producer hadn’t declared it). Nothing proper today.

• My “How to symptom track & trigger hunt”
• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

(Nov 4th: 18:00 vitamin B-12 5mg methylcobalamin s.c.)

Amounts: Arg 3g(2/2) Ca4:1-4g. glyc/mal -6, NAC: 5 (2.4g), NADH 2-7x5mg (max. 35mg+(1800 inpatient)), Q10: .1gUbiquinol (or 2x200mg or +200ginkgo). Ribose 0.1g+ 1/4 tsp.: GI?
Not with meals, e.g. 11h, 15h: NADH, SAM-e?, resveratrol .5-1.5g, SRP -6, mumijo 4:00 (not meds either). Q1:oil/Nd(Se).
Jaw locally too: tea tree oil/calendula/myrrh, arnica, heat
“ToGo”-compartments for the 11:30-batch the next days:
A) ALC, B) Mg mal, C) NAC, D) NADH & (2xSRP); E) Rib separate with spoon.

Supps to CHANGE:
- No GI, no bad dreams: so if they were sfx of the current supps, they are OK now/soon.
- arginine (also Raynaud’s), carnitine & pectin for lipids.
- Just read someone saying that NADH stops working, so take irregularly(?)
- Carnitine acidic (taste, teeth, stomach burn) altho only ammonium derivative of amino acids?
- NADH not with acids like vit. C: what about carnitine tho? (& amino acids)
- pectin 2h apart from supps / (bottle): with meals. Squaring the circle again.
- as as everything else seems stable: niacin (B3), careful due to probable sfx like flushing.
- ?- checking: PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone), started researching omega 3: microalgae!)
- as as I need new D3: ordering D3 with K2.
- ? someday: New doc for LDN?)

Supps to KEEP (Click for all supp details - being re-arranged): 7g?Arg, GABA, ginkgo, glutamine, glycinate, malate, mumijo, NAC, NADH, P5P, Passiflora, CoQ10, Quercetin, Resveratrol, Rhodiola, Ribose, Selenium, serrapeptase, theanine, zinc.

glutamine 1x500mg: GABA antagonist. (Day: stiffness??)
P5P & Rhodiola (serotonin/GABA)
“1:00” 2 SRP serrapeptase 2x10.000IU before? sleep (but 2h after last meal!)
theanine: relaxation & alertness, so effective & shorter sleep.

INFLAMMATION: mumijo, NAC, Rhodiola, Q10 e.g. for jaw, SRP, Zn, better teeth-cleaning & red light for jaw.
5:30 SRP & SAMe: serrapeptase 2x10.000IU (more?), SAM-e, zinc only if picolinate.
Zinc bisblycinate with breakfast. GP: Not too much.
gums/jaw locally/regularly: tea tree oil, calendula, arnica, myrrh, red heat lamp, teeth.
20:00 Rhodiola 2-3x200mg (serotonin (like P5P), BBB & bp, so with GABA; anti-inflamm.!)
4:00 mumijo. 2-3x200-300mg/d 30’ b4 meal, 20-30d. Then 10d without,´ then another 20-30d.
SAM-e 2h after meals 1x100mg (max. !): pain, stiffness, sfx: GI, bladder!, dry mouth!, sleep!, serotonin-seizures! SAMe/SAM-e - #11 by JayCS. Or was this GABA? Anti-inflammatory? (Bloods?)
WAKE/FOG: GABA/theanine, 2xMg, NAC, NADH, ALC, ginkgo
8:00 GABA & theanine
/ Mg glycinate & malate <6x!
/ NAC seems to work, try without gly or ALC
/ ALC. Studies: for fog, not fatigue. Not together with LC/carnitine.
ACHE: !GABA, NAC, !NADH, magnesium malate, mumijo, omega 3, Q10, SAM-e, SRP
!NADH. Oct 26th even during TT.
Serrapeptase up to 8x or more?
mumijo for “pain”.
ENERGY/FATIGUE: !Ribose, !NADH, NAC, L-carnitine, CoQ10, ginkgo
Ribose: GI-sfx! (so 3x0.2g…) (not -6x2.5g) muscle fatigue/ATP.
NAC fatigue, anti-infl. -2400mg, so 4-5x.5g.
NADH/NAD+: B3-coenzyme for ATP & post exertional malaise: 2.5mg (5x0.5g). No meals/acids.
/ L-Carnitine (LC) better than ALC for physical fatigue, cf. PLC.
CoQ10: ?: fatigue, sleep issues, bp, lipids, flow, gums, 3-6m, ubiquinol.
glycine itself? Alertness…
STIFFNESS: !GABA Glutamine?: Doesn’t work for me.
NOSTRILS STUFFY at night: Q10? Better since taking it… tea tree oil, “Breathe well” oils OK.
EVERYTHING: // B12? Schüssler 2, 4 & 7 (3-6m.?) Vitamin B12: injections again.
ACID: !almonds
Mumijo wasn’t working for GI first: But heartburn/hungriness OK as of Nov 1st.
Bentonite?: (= 95% Montmorillonite; zeolithe? IBSD & -C; not together with other supps… (ZdG))
RAYNAUD’S: Menthol, arginine: sfx mainly skin, praps gut, overdose: fog. Blood flow & bp.

Development:

*Taking energy-supps seems to increase energy, repletion, regeneration. Is continuing activities still overdoing it? I’d think not, altho it sometimes feels like it.

My wife & - for my doc - I want a supp chart printed out, so as of today:

Research-search today: Bits’n’bobs for the chart again. To Do: Finish the indications (supps with ) for P5P, B12, D3, Ω3, quercetin & serrapeptase.

Treatments

Supps PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY (click for details): NADH away from amino acids, their derivatives and meals. Plus tried a double dose for the first time 2x5mg at 13:00. It's not overdosed either, as I'd thought: Teitelbaum recommends 10-20mg every morning. But at this amount I had the overstimulation and jitteriness I'd read about. However only 5' and no other sfx, except smashing my left hand on the stone table full force, which'll probably go black and blue.... *sigh* - but hey, not much of a sacrifice. I also felt pretty warm, had to take my hoodies off soon - that might've been the energy, but also praps blood flow. A walk incl. 2 short sprints and a short dance hasn't stopped it working by 17:30. Then I got up from leaning typing on the sofa without using my hands! I was so surprised, because outside I did feel a bit stiff, I went to my wife and showed her, and she got emotional and said that's amazing, but also a bit spooky. She's asking if I'll come down after like after a trip, but I can't find that anywhere. And at 17:15 I'm taking another one, and tomorrow one more at 5:00.... Now I'm trying sitting cross-legged, and strangely that's slightly easier, can't imagine why this would be working. I spose - looking at the fx it's further regulation of serotonin & dopamine (despite not being able to take it with GABA & glutamine together, them being amino acids). Getting on and off my bike was so easy I did it 3 times in a row once with right leg then left (which I cd hardly manage at all up to 2 days ago).

My Supp Chart

(<500KB)

Supps to CHANGE:
- Seperating amino acids incl. LC and NAC from NADH.

- Try another NAC at 1:00 for sleep.
- order microalgae for more concentrated Ω3.
- when/if everything else keeps stable: niacin (B3), cave sfx & homocystein!
- order PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone)?

Research-search today:

• I’m concluding praps the NADH habituation some get may come from taking it with acids. Not taking it with acids is something I read from Teitelbaum first, but now regularly. So just in case I’ll be keeping it away from the amino acids. Now LC, L-carnitine also seems very acidic to me (taste, teeth, stomach burn). It is only ammonium derivative of amino acids, but here and sometimes similar elsewhere “L-Carnitine is most like a B vitamin, but it also acts a lot like an amino acid. In fact, it’s formed from two amino acids: Lysine and Methionine within the liver and kidneys. So, it looks, sounds and behaves like an amino acid, and for the sake of simplicity most people will refer to it as such. Others label it a “vitamin-like” or even “amino-acid-like” compound.” Similarly AC, NAC, N-acetylcysteine is the derivative of an amino acid. Doesn’t say so on wikipedia. It “comes from” or “is the supplement form of” the amino acid L-cysteine, so many other sites (draxe, suzycohen and psychologytoday) say NAC is one. As regards NADH I’d best keep it away from LC and NAC, which I haven’t been doing. (But I must say that NADH still helps dramatically even if I take it with NAC.) That means I can take it at “6:30”, but not at “11:00”, I’ve now changed times and left/added NADH for energy in the daytime and bundled the acids 19:00-01:00, 07:00+08:00 and 15:00 (GABA+ for bladder) (The chart is helping me with these sorts of connections. To not confuse people I’d best delete old charts.)
  Interestingly NADH is a vitamin B3-like coenzyme and L-carnitine here sounds like a cross between a B-vitamin and an amino acid.
• To Do: Finish all indications (supps with ) for P5P, B12, D3, Ω3, quercetin & serrapeptase.
• Serrapeptase habituation or more care when to take it? Also I should be taking

• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

Treatments

Supps PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY (click for details): NADH-sfx: focal seizure at 21:00, but is that due to too much serotonin, i.e. GABA, or not enough?? I'll just see if the 21:00-batch as it is keeps it down. 🧐 Slight diarrhea 21:40. Hmm, no-one's mentioned that anywhere - ah, yes they have, if I read it up specifically. Psyllium wd reduce other supps. S. boulardii seems OK tho. Where's a slot for NADH in the mornings? Didn't fit today, so at/after 10:00. The problem isn't closeness to QcRsSaSr at 5:00/6:00, but then it'd wake me up. If I'd've taken it at 7:55 instead of all the waking up acids, I wdn't have been able to eat till 8:25, that'd be the time I was planning to take the train - which however didn't work out, I do still need a full half hour even in full speed mode (used to be faster if nec). So taking it at 7:55 should be OK and getting up then means not catching that train unless really nec, in which case NADH at/after 10:00. Just seen quercetin is good for sleep, so I should be taking that earlier & then resveratrol too, as those are best together; but when, if not with mumijo at 3:00? I spose best keeping it 5:00... 2x5mg NADH at 11:00 didn't seem to make much difference, but I was feeling good already and I'd say after lots of strain I didn't feel worse.

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

[JayCS]

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-16, Tuesday - good, self-disciplined night. 2x5mg NADH upon waking, no miracle, but also no jitteriness, getting used to steady activity, less breaks.

Yesterday’s “Devil’s Drug” was (2g of) apple pectin : 20h of tense stomach & esophagus after a total block for 30’. So I left it today & will re-start lower & with more water tomorrow, or swap to psyllium first.
Today’s was niacin, 250mg: 1.5h of itchy flush from top to toe. So I’ll follow the pharmacist Groeber’s advice of re-starting with 3x50mg as from tomorrow.

“18:00” Prepare tomorrow’s:

1. Complete & copy praps details of planned, if changed, ‘change’, supps to KEEP if changed.
   Always note here where something’s been changed, e.g. KEEP once SAM-e is deleted.
2. Complete/delete lessons/reasons & change # in template.
3. Tally irreg. here
4. Remove “v3” here
5. Cut template
6. Save this
7. Paste & unhide template in tomorrow’s 1x, paste a 2nd (add 1 to date and ##). BATCHES OK?
   (Nov 4th: 18:00 vitamin B-12 5mg methylcobalamin s.c.)

Amounts: Arg 3g(2/2) Car 1-4g. glyc/mal -6, NAC: 5 (2.4g), NADH 2-7x5mg (max. 35mg+(1800 inpatient)). Ribose 0.1g+ 1/4 tsp.: GI?
Not with meals, e.g. 11h, 15h: NADH, SAM-e?, resveratrol .5-1.5g, SRP -6, mumijo 4:00 (not meds either). Q1:oil/Nd(Se).
Jaw locally too: tea tree oil/calendula/myrrh, arnica, heat

Supps to CHANGE:
- NAC at 21:00 & 1:00: #3 (16th) OK, but again not perfect. (up 6x )
- NADH upon waking only if 30’ before eating possible (train later?). Done 16th.
- 2g pectin, 3 capsules: overdose 15th! Trying down to 1. & 30’ before meal.
- Psyllium (diarrhea/lipids): not with supps! Except pectin (13:00)? Or instead.
- : ordered SRP 250.000 SPU instead of the 7x10.000 SPU at the moment. (Water!)
- LDL down, but triglycerides up means even more complex carbs & supps soon, e.g.:
- 1) The very itchy flush all over from 1x250mg Niacin (B3) means I’ll try 3x50mg.
- and’ll get homocystein as well as LDL & triglycerides checked every month.
- : 2) ordered microalgae for more concentrated vegan Ω3.
- order PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone)?
- order D3 with K2, as my D3 is still at the minimum, despite 20.000IE/w.

Supps to KEEP (details here & in chart): L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, vitamin D3, !GABA, ginkgo, !glutamine, magnesium glycinate, magnesium malate, mumijo, NAC, !NADH, P5P, !Passiflora, CoQ10, Quercetin, Resveratrol, Rhodiola, Ribose, Selenium, serrapeptase, theanine, zinc.

2021-11-16 11:45
SLEEP: !GABA (+glutamine / P5P), !Passiflora, NAC! & Rhodiola, Q10, Quercetin, SRP, not Mg gly
theanine: relaxation & alertness, so helped effective & shorter sleep - better not at the moment.
WAKE/FOG: GABA/theanine, magnesium glycinate & malate (<7x!), NAC, NADH, ALC, ginkgo
/ ALC. Studies: for fog, not fatigue. Not together with LC/carnitine.
ACHE: !GABA, NAC, !NADH, magnesium malate, mumijo, omega 3, Q10, SAM-e, SRP
ENERGY/FATIGUE: !Ribose (GI-sfx: 3x0.2g), !NADH , NAC (5x.5g), L-carnitine, CoQ10, ginkgo
NADH/NAD+: B3-coenzyme for ATP & post exertional malaise: 2.5mg (5x0.5g). No meals/acids.
/ L-Carnitine (LC) better than ALC for physical fatigue, cf. PLC.
CoQ10: fatigue, sleep, bp, lipids, flow, gums, 3-6m, ubiquinol more bio-available vs. ubiquinone more research.
INFLAMMATION: mumijo, NAC, Rhodiola, SAMe, SRP, Zn; Q10 & local treatments for jaw.
gums/jaw locally/regularly: tea tree oil, calendula, arnica, myrrh, red heat lamp, teeth.
Zinc bisblycinate with breakfast (picolinate before). GP: Not too much.
STIFFNESS: !GABA NADH! (since Nov 14th). Glutamine doesn’t help me.
NOSTRILS STUFFY at night: Q10? Better since taking it… tea tree oil, “Breathe well” oils: acid).
EVERYTHING: // B12? Schüssler 2, 4 & 7 (3-6m.?) Vitamin B12: injections again.
ACID: !almonds
Mumijo wasn’t working for GI first: But heartburn/hungriness OK as of Nov 1st.
Bentonite?: (= 95% Montmorillonite; zeolithe? IBSD & -C; not together with other supps… (ZdG))
RAYNAUD’S: Menthol, arginine: sfx mainly skin, praps gut, overdose: fog. Blood flow & bp.
BLOOD FATS “research-search today” on Nov 1st.
Guaifenesin/Amand???

SELF-PHYSIO (click for details): 1h40 ✅

eve+day: Timing, AuTr 10’, hunchback-pillow 6’, cold shower (10’), palpate 1’, belly 1’, back 4’, loins 3’, foot on knee/cross-legged 40’, twist-stretch 2’, plantar/calf stretch 7’, yoga 3’, neck 1+ 4’, teeth 2x2’, marionette-hang 5’,
jolt-jump 1’, neck 2 3’, gums 2x30’’, V ‘, mirror 2’, shaking dance 1’, breath-hold 11’, RR x2’, HWB 3’, workout 7’, red heat 3’,

THERAPIES: GP blood results16th: lp(a) same, B12 good, D3 OK, added K2 is good. Triglycerides are too high again, 237!! (carbs & nuts), up from 173, and LDL is still 113 too, but down from 149 3 weeks ago; still OK considering no meds (where they were down to 100 resp. 46). CK good now (138, down from 200). CRP none. So glad that there's nothing else, and that lp(a) is still stable, but disappointed about the triglycerides going up. So omega 3, avocado, nuts, I'll try dark chocolate again after all, psyllium. sweet potatoes, is my muesli really whole grain? Praps change away from gluten-free. As my homocysteine is high and B12 has rocketed due to 1x5mg s.c. I could now try B3/niacin.... Acupressure was only ear acupressure today, which centred on elbows and loins.

Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:

Development:

Research-search today:

• Looked for a new higher dosed serrapeptase product and found one by Arthur Andrew Medical with really good thoughts & review (not sure if unbiased, but rings honest) on serrapeptase.org, and ordered that from a reliable sounding retailer: Dutch, so it gets here quicker than a US product from there or Asia.
• For niacin I just read up again to start with less first.
• For microalgae I had too much information to decide on a product today. Edit: I decided on Norsan, bought cheaper via my online pharmacy platform.

Said today: 40% activity is what I’m aiming at, and to get the praps 60% of “activity” - of self-treatment & research - down, once I’ve got everything/myself sorted…

Lessons in self-care #124 Blog and getting supps sorted was focus, but also work as I wanted.
Reasons to be cheerful #131 Actually quite good today, the new “Devil’s drug” was funny when I realized it was only gonna take an hour to get over it. All over, but nothing like the skin sfx of COX2-inhibitors or Metamizole!

• My “How to symptom track & trigger hunt”
• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

Treatments

Supps: Gums hurt 10' after putting tea tree oil on them at 19:00 🧐. Unusually sweaty after commuting, despite the cold, so praps supps - NADH? B3?

BTW: For the itchy flush from 250mg niacin yesterday I used an tiny aspirin protect and a cold pad for relief. My wife thought a cold shower might help, but the fast cold shower before bed started the itching anew. I doubt I’ll have the patience to wait 2 weeks at the beginning before increasing the dose as suggested 3x50mg, 3x100mg, 3x200mg, 3x300mg, 3x500mg, whilst I’m also not sure if I and how long I want to try 3x500mg. We’ll see.

Lessons in self-care #125 Weather and cold water is colder, so for my fast cold shower before bed I’m starting with luke-cold or luke-warm, whatever entices me best - 10-20’’ is enough, then I no longer have a problem with the cold, neither mental nor physical.

• My “How to symptom track & trigger hunt”
• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

[JayCS]

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-18, Thursday - less energy & more stiffness, probably due to no NADH at 8:00 (but sitting cross-legged good), or - as Ache returned a bit after work at 14:00 - overdoing it is still happening, as I’d thought it might. But even after that it was different than before, no hurt, no real Ache, just losing self-discipline and motivation, as if my body were shouting STOP. Confusing day.

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 9h37, up 5x (27') ➔ so can't exactly complain about the NAC, but too long. Feeling 90% well, Ache 0 of 7 ✅, dreams, GI ✅ (except some wind, no air till morning). Stints were good: 2.7h, 1.3, 1.8, 2, 1.5 and 1.5h, getting up no problem, but really waking up and energy was a problem due to not having enough time to take NADH, before the meal, as I wanted to get to work early. If it's the 3!xNAC that's improving sleep depth, then I wdnt want to go down on that, but 9.5h sleep doesn't feel necessary, seeing as I feel tireder now than the last few days. OTO I did get very tired at 21:00 yesterday, but finishing the blog entry took quite some time. So completing the blog entry earlier still has a high priority. I could put an alarm on earlier if I really want to get to work earlier. But I think it more fitting to put my body in first place, so no alarm, just staying at home longer. Instead of leaving out the NADH, incomplete back exercises, & cycling with less stress. A good test praps, but actually I had decided already that 30' is just too short. Just that that was for the earlier train, this is for the later train, but sleeping 30' longer. Makes sure the message has got home I spose. Or to put it more drastically: taking 15' longer in the mornings will greatly improve my day. Apart from that I can still have a look if 3x/n NAC too much...

Sum: 1h45+8h19-(3+3+10+7+4=)27’ = 10h04-27’= 9h37, up 5x (27’)

ACTIVITIES ➔ ACHE: commuting & work ➔ 90%/1-0, not 95/100%, due to too much NAC & sleep? And not early enough NADH. But even before being able to take it, energy & stiffness has already improved at 11:00, despite taking the NADH later. Further light work and commuting back ➔ 80%/2-3 After that still feeling under the weather, table tennis was OK ➔ 80%/2, but a bit of a strain, and slightly nauseous all the time during acupressure (back mobilization) ➔ 80%/2, missing out all supps after 13:00 cos everything was confusing (wife dental implantant, acupressure different day and much later) and I'd forgotten to prepare the supps I needed "to go"... ➔ 80%/2

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: ✅. Started a bit stiffer than usual (NAC/NADH) 9-11. Single pains/symptoms were OK, but generally everything was wonky. Like energy & stiffness usually very good, but sort of fatigued & achey at the same time. Plus long esophagus block again.

Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

Treatments

Supps: PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY (click for details): Good sleep, so NAC may've been good. Didn't manage the 2 NADH 30' before eating/train, so later. Stool in the morning first very solid then very loose, strange. NADH later may have worked the past few days, but not today, maybe the combo NAC/NADH, but getting better even before taking the NADH at 11:00. Also forgot: I can always try the ribose directly with a meal.... Did add that, but didn't help much. Then due to different acupressure I forgot the "15:00" batch and have now at 19:45 decided to leave it out, but take the "17:00" batch, go to shops and then eat and take the "19:00" batch.

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-19, Friday - 1) peculiar NADH-fx, & 2) gastritis detected as starting point for esophagus blocks.

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 8h40, up 5x (23') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅, dreams , GI , air ✅

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!

Sum: 1h45+7h18-(3+11+3+3+3=)23’ = 9h03-23= 8h40, up 5x (23’)

ACTIVITIES ➔ ACHE: ➔ 90/80%/1-2, wdve been stress to catch the early train, so let it be, altho I need to be at work on time (worked out tho). Got good energy, but feel exhausted at the same time = 95%/0 and 75%/3 at the same time. Gotta get my head round that... - see "development" below.

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: ?✅ Long esophagus block yesterday 18th at 20:00, I think that's the one I mentioned in yesterday's entry tho ❌. Esophagus block today 19th at 20:20 too. This time I distracted myself and waited till it plopped out by itself - again vibration didn't help. That took about 20' in which I cdnt eat altho it's late. See "development" below.

➔
Lying, standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.
Lie ➔ LBU = lower back unrest, hunchback, Neck, thighs, elbows, itch, cold/hot, nose stuffy, plantar fasciitis after
Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

Supps to CHANGE:

• 2x NAC at night was good a 6th time, so I can keep that up from now on.
• NADH upon waking. #4 (19th): OK. Less Ache, but still some (explainable from longer stretching and lots of high exertion, e.g. cycling). Brilliant energy & stiffness. Take more?
• 1 cps pectin + psyllium, 30’ before meal: 13:00.
• : The 250k serrapeptase (“serrétia”) has arrived, took it (with more water): no miracles.
• Triglycerides: niacin 3x50mg, plus microalgae-Ω3 now: 1x5ml (eve).
• order PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone)?

Guaifenesin/Amand???

SELF-PHYSIO (click for details): 2h17 ✅. Working further thru a stretching book at the kitchen table, also stretching in meetings, talks etc. That's possible thru NADH - maybe the achey exhaustion is a mid-term effect and will improve. A lot are pretty easy, but trying to connect my hands behind my back is impossible, so I'm working at stretching both elbows.

Timing, AuTr 15’ (10’ at work), hunchback-pillow 10’, cold shower (10’), palpate 1’, belly 3’, back 7’, neck 1+ 8’, twist-stretch 30’, foot on knee/cross-legged 30’, yoga/stretching 20’, HWB 3’,
loins 2’, teeth 3x2’, jolt-jump 1’, neck 2 3’, plantar/calf stretch 5’, gums 2x30’’, V ‘, marionette-hang 1’, mirror 2’, shaking dance 1’, breath-hold 11’, RR x2’, workout 7’, red heat 3’,

THERAPIES: Can't see a difference from yesterday's acupressure.

Acupressure / Therapy, Doc/Diagnoses ? Acupressure 2h Tues & 2h Fri:

Development:

NADH(?): My energy & stiffness are still improved by NADH, but the “post exertional malaise” seems at most postponed, so I’m in the strange situation today that I am able to do more / faster / harder, but I’m not as it’s making me feel sicker… I wonder what increasing the dose might do, but my gut feeling is it won’t change much… My wife tried to put it in one image - battery too small, too short-lived etc., but energy plus and fatigue staying the same is on 2 different levels. That once again shows the difficulty we all know that the extra energy makes me believe I can use it with no backlash, which quickly catches up with me. Sounds no different to the typical reason for overdoing it. I spose it isn’t. But because it feels like a different kind of energy, and probably is, to the usual one, caused probably by cortisol, I need to learn how to harness it again.

Esophagus block: The ones I’m getting now are pretty regular, almost one a day and not as painful as the ones I get irregularly normally. Wanting to blame the pectin, as esophagus & stomach had cramped a long time the first time I took it, I looked back to see when the blocks started becoming regular. First time I noted it’d been about once a day was Nov 2nd. Looking back a few days I realized the gastritis was on Oct 29th, so that’s pretty clearly the starting point. The void vomiting twice of course were a really strong spasms. I’m hoping it’ll get better by itself (& due to the relaxing supps). As vibrating it isn’t helping this kind of block (heat pad neither) I either have to find a new kind of helping it get over quicker, or get the food out causing it (which seems a bit easier than with the tougher block) or try preventing it better. Let’s see.

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-20, Saturday - NADH working in the course of the day, found confirmation on this (see development)

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 7h42, up 7x (36') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 0-1 of 7 ✅, altho much too late (blog & order ginkgo). Dreams & GI were only a problem for a short time, so I can stop registering those now, & also I think I can air my bedroom without additional reminder.

Sum: -1h10+9h28-(4+4+4+3+13+3+5=)36’ = 8h18-36’= 7h42, up 7x (36’)

ACTIVITIES (aiming for 40% of pre-fibro) ➔ ACHE: getting up etc., 10' slow cycle ➔ 80%/2, & tired, fatigued, despite the fair amount of sleep, & 2x NADH hasn't helped. I'd thought just resting'd be enough and bed late wdnt matter... Getting better at 14:00 after resting, supps, meal, phoning ➔ 85%/1-2, at 16:00 suppleness & energy, not much ache, but still a bit fatigued & tired as if reconvalescent, so I spose 85%/1 and keeping a low profile...

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: All good ✅, surprisingly p5 at 15:30, praps not enough GABA this morning (0.4 instead of 0.6g), p2 at 16:30.

➔
Lying, standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.

Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

Treatments

Supps: 28 PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY (click for what-when-details): Don't understand why NADH is failing again. Interactions? Placebo? Hoping the further supps are gonna bring me back up. For quite a few days energy, ache, also muscle tenseness, praps blood flow were improved & I must say I'm still reaping some benefits, like being able to do more and better stretches, and being able to call on extra energy if necessary. So it ain't gone with the wind. Less GABA at 10:20 may've caused p5 at 15:30.

Development:

Due to my life’s changes I’m starting a new ToDo list, to prioritize better again. On both my private & work laptop. There was much less to have to concentrate on the last two years, mainly my body, so I’ve stopped using the pda I’d been using for >10y. But the amount of supps & things I can do has increased to a level that I’m now getting confused & procrastinating more often. Now I’m moving most of the mobile alarms & calendar as well as the old pda calendar etc. over to the laptops as these have become my focus points & what I use most. I use many alarms but ignore them easily, thinking what I’m doing at that time seems more important. I may need to rotate life areas a bit more, not sure yet. Spinning plates is an image that helped me working full time - now most usually don’t even get to wobble, except of late my body again, which is exactly the wrong ‘plate’ to wobble, but the amount of plates confuses me. I found working down lists very helpful to stay in control. A colleague reproached me a few hours ago to keep it slow.

Research-search today: Looking for more details on NADH I’ve now found people confirming: take it sublingually, but irregularly, so only a few times per week, and not to overdo it when taking it. That sounds like my experience more than the 10mg every morning that Teitelbaum and others suggest. Not sure if I can open my capsules and take it sublingually, like you can amino acids, because people are saying it has to be stabilized and it is sold by ENADA and others as a specifically sublingual lozenge. OK, but at least I now have an idea what might have been happening. For a lark I’ll try a 4th one sublingually now… but take it sloooow.

Lessons in self-care #129 Ordering: I guess PQQ is more important than Pf & K2, take it easy.
Reasons to be cheerful #136 Yay, NADH working again a bit, and I’m starting to understand it better.

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-21, Sunday - esophagus OK; NADH-energy there, despite not taking it.

(v3: 17:00 burning esophagus after 4 amino acids & acid-tasting carnitine)
(v2: 10:15 sleep, adjusted supps, 2 reasons to be cheerful)
(v1: eve before at 22:50: pretty NADH-wonderful again, but not falling for it this time! Esophagus block AGAIN , my wife’s worried…)

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 8h47, up 4x (21') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 0 of 7 ✅ - good night.

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!
FCS p0 Sleep 23:40-

-8:58
Sum: 20+8h48-(5+5+3+8=)21’= 8h47, up 4x (21’)

ACTIVITIES (aiming for 40% of pre-fibro) ➔ ACHE: eve before at 20:00 ➔ 90%/0, bit tired tho, feeling 100% while cycling & buying food. So not taking NADH in the morning. ➔ 90%/1, same during the day - energy quite OK, could do 1h housework & 30' yardwork, short walk, 2 zoom services.

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: ✅. but 20:00 at the same time as feeling great a really long esophagus block/spasm, felt it coming, so stopped swallowing - to no avail, spat that out after 10', still no avail, had to get more out twice. My wife worrying, and wants me to get it checked, but I have had the earlier form checked before in a major clinic (when I had my salivary glands checked for Sjögren's.) This is a bit different, it's not quite as painful, but takes 20-30' to loosen again, been happening almost every day when eating, more often in the evening, this evening I put cold things out before eating them, as it even happens with soy yoghurt, and it still happened. So funny that every time once it's all out (or down if I'm lucky) I can continue eating with absolutely no problems, like the previous tougher but rarer form. That makes it again unlikely that it's eosinophilic esophagitis. Slight esophagus burning after 4 amino acids plus carnitin at "15:00" (16:20). Treatments see below. No block this evening, so stopping tea tree oil and encapsulating the evening carnitine may have helped.

➔
Lying, standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.
Lie ➔ LBU = lower back unrest, hunchback, Neck, thighs, elbows, itch, cold/hot, nose stuffy, plantar fasciitis after
Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

Esophagus blockages: See ‘pains’ above. None of the reasons the websites say is really viable in my case. What docs cd do is dilate it. Sometimes carbonated liquid can help, but it can also make it worse, they might also inject glucagon to relax it - so I could try increasing my relaxing supps, like GABA, however I’m taking 10 of these already. Praps taking them (e.g. the 19:00 batch, e.g. Pf, P5P & rhodiola) before the evening meal might help. Usually these kinds of things are allergic reactions in my case, the only substance I can imagine is the tea tree oil I’m using on my gums to try to reduce the jaw inflammation, so I’m going to stop using that. Another idea is that the hyperacidity I’ve always had may be OK now, but may have left its toll. Sure the amino acids are acidic, but that’s the reason why I’m encapsulating them and making sure they are swept down into the stomach quickly. Oh yes, as regards allergic foods: I ate the same stuff at noon as now in the evening, and the same before and after the block. So it wdnt make sense, even if it were the nuts and the soy (yoghurt & tofu). Maybe an elimination diet is nec. but it’s gonna be tough, as there’s enough I can’t eat already… Cleveland Clinic say that eosinophilic esophagitis is hard to diagnose, as there’s not always something (e.g. white rings) to see, maybe I do have it, and the clinic I was at & I myself didn’t try hard enough, seeing as it was only occasional. *So stopping tea tree oil, and will watch out even more closely when it happens at the beginning of the next (evening?) meals. Praps increasing GABA a little & trying something fizzy can’t make it worse than it is already. 17:00: Carnitine is now my main suspect after the acid batch without meal. Either I need to move it all forward to the meal (meaning pectine & psyllium won’t work as well, or encapsulate them.) *

• Reducing NADH to “on demand”. Sublingually? Order ENADA?
• Stopping tea tree oil on my gum to see if my esophagus gets better then.
• Encapsulating carnitine. One or both of these helped this evening.
• I’ll try to prepare the supps for a day in advance now.
• Ordered NAC in ready made capsules (instead of me encapsulating) it’s worth it.
• Ordered PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) (difficult to get it without stearic acid, but aside from a really expensive sort Dr’s Best seemed best).
• Order passiflora & praps Mg bisglycinate.
• Order D3 with K2, as my D3 is still at the minimum, despite 20.000IE/w.

• Next up…: Oct-Summary (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

[JayCS]

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-23, Tuesday - crazy day, but energy 1h after 2nd B3 (no NADH), flush after 1st…

(V3: 12:35 NADH (as coenzyme or “activated form” of B3) and B3 might well be interacting, i.e. stacking too high, that could also explain the flushing as well as the unreliability of the NADH… )
(v2: 9:15 flush-itch from increasing B3 by 50% to 0.125mg)
(v1: eve before - NADH at 17:40 working quite well)

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 9h39, up 5x (39') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 of 7 ✅. But at 4:50 ➔ 70%/2, better after the sleep break. Each time I woke up I believed I hadn't been sleeping for 5-10' minutes, but when I then got up it was 1-2h later than I thought. Irritating. Have to ignore it. Strange, why so long suddenly?

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!
FCS p0! Sleep 22:15-
23:57 3’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink fw1’ PF+.3Ga/Glu
01:50 3’ 90%/1 p0 st1 drink fw1’ PF+Nc+Sr2

04:47 6’ 70%/2 p0 st1 drink8 fw1’ neck, stomach burn/ache, bruised finger. Airing for nostril & generally. AuTr
05:33 24’ 6
-8:33
Sum: 1h45+8h33-(3+3+3+6+24=) 39’ = 10h18-39 = 9h39, up 5x (39’)

ACTIVITIES (aiming for 40% of pre-fibro) ➔ ACHE: Work/commuting ➔ 80%/2, stressy having to go to acupressure with only 40' break in between, but then she texted me the nitrogen for the cryotherapy had come later, so I could rest another 40'. After those 2h: 15' to get to psychotherapy. Both were helpful, and taking B3 after acupressure seemed to give me an energy boost 1h later after psychotherapy.

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: ✅ Pee pain 0 in the evening (better GABA/glutamine mix, like planned).

➔
Lying, standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.
Lie ➔ LBU = lower back unrest, hunchback, Neck, thighs, elbows, itch, cold/hot, nose stuffy, plantar fasciitis after
Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-24, Wednesday - fatigued; Pfizer#1 in Dec

(v4: 17:30 energy down: NADH ; jab rationale…)
(v3: 13:45: starting to think I may try the 1st Pfizer jab)
(v2: not focused, confused, energy OK)

It’s hit home today that however long I might have however additional bad symptoms, my experience has been I need to avoid hospital and doctors at all costs, so I’ve pretty much decided to try the Pfizer jab - after having either saved or lost my tooth by Dec 9th.

Triggers & resulting Symptoms

SLEEP (click for details): 7h45, up 5x (15') ➔ Feeling 90% well, Ache 1 (not 0) of 7 ✅.

No fw! lbu: belly tensing? No half-sitting on sofa!
FCS p0 Sleep 00:10-
3:11 3’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1’ PF.3Ga/Glu+PFNcSr2
4:42 3’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1’ Mu
5:53 3’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1’ air
6:27 3’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1’
6:43 3’ 90%/1 p1 st1 drink fw1’ air
-8:10
Sum: 8h-15’= 7h45, up 5x (15’)

ACTIVITIES (aiming for 40% of pre-fibro) ➔ ACHE: ➔ 90%/1, energy as if from the B3 (or whatever), but not lasting, not focused/concentrated. Work - not really doing much - commuting, table tennis ➔ 70%/3, Ribose didn't help, nor did the normal supps, so now NADH (and resting). An hour later: didn't help at all.

Ache = also Exhaustion/Tired ➔ ?90%/1
Cycle➔ exhaustion, also as action➔pains;
TT = Table-Tennis➔ easy or effortless or strained or tough?
talk/meetings, Grandchild, Work/Mask-talking, Socializing/Talking.

ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: ✅. Except: Bar stools sitting straight seems uncomfy for my lower back, so I HAVE to rotate; while sitting cross-legged on the floor is getting pretty comfy. High pee frequency again, with pain only 1xp1.

➔
Lying, standing, loins, sitting, arms up, neck stiffness 90°, stiffness after poses, walking, fast cycling, bladder 0xp1-2, GI, talking, mask-talking.
Lie ➔ LBU = lower back unrest, hunchback, Neck, thighs, elbows, itch, cold/hot, nose stuffy, plantar fasciitis after
Stand ➔ Legs, back
Knees up ➔ right loin
Arms up ➔ pain
Sit ➔ Backside, lower back
Pose ➔ stiffness (after holding a posture): Time 0-60’’, pain amount if faster.
Walk ➔ Elbows, feet, right knee, plantar fasciitis after
Cycle ➔ Feet, knees, backside, elbows, hands, neck
Drink ➔ Pee frequency, pain before peeing (p0-6).
Eat ➔ Esophagus block, stomach, gut, rectum, stool (IBSD?). GI for short
Talk➔Jaw (& Ache)
Mask-talk ➔ not sure how to describe it, just plain yucky.

Development:

CoV’s getting dramatic here again in Germany, I’m not sure why, praps due to the anti-vaxxers.
From today on instead of self-testing I need to be tested in a test centre daily, to use the train & at work.
After I told him likely I wdn’t be back for quite some time, so I’d want to wait for the Christmas break, my boss (careless guy) said a vax won’t be a problem for me, he’s sure, no problem to take the sick leave before the break. Yeah, I’ve been thinking & talking & researching about it for >10h, but he’s sure… Praps they’re (you’re?) all right and Cort Johnson’s healthrising poll for the severely ill is wrong that there’s a pretty good chance I’ll be severely ill for at least a month? At least I’ve waited and seen that the vaccine is as safe as can be - Pfizer/Biontech that is. And I’ve got my supps to a high level so I’m maybe feeling 90% well of the 35-40% activity I’m able to. Russian roulette with 2 bullets… Ah, well I won’t die, that’s for sure, and maybe I can do with a big break from everything…
After that thought, I started on about having to go to hospital, resulting in the final thought and decision up top: Everything’s better for my fibro-body than even a slight chance of hospital - looking it up the hospitalization rate seems a bit under 10%.

Lessons in self-care #133 Brain & body fatigue meant not trusting myself to do much.
Reasons to be cheerful #141 At last more of a decision about vaxxing.

• My “How to symptom track & trigger hunt”
• Next up…: Summaries (& add to blog-summary); finishing off the treatment list…

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

Leftovers from last? Not only today I've been sneaking myself out of pure cold showers for a week, starting warm or semi-warm, first going directly to cold, now only really short cold, alternately. Also I've been feeling very slightly nauseous since yesterday evening, as if I'd got gastritis again. Got to work early, but then taking it slow.

↘24 Supps: PLANNED/TAKEN TODAY (click for details): If I'm still feeling sort of ill tomorrow, I'll be taking some of the supps down again, starting with the last ones, PQQ, B3, Pe, Ps, Ω3, then Qc, Rs, the new Q10..., reduce Srp again, then Ar & Cr,. Come to think of it, I've been taking mumijo since Oct 8th, selenium gets toxic after 6 months, how about that? On Aug 28th I write "keeping up from thyroid, but before that I hadn't noted when I was taking it, so I'll need to look when I ordered it from my pharmacy: Feb 8th, so that's 9 months instead of 6. Also decided to leave magnesium bisglycinate in time (running out anyway) to see if it makes a difference.

16 compartments a complete day in advance, 'down' to 20' *sigh*, then something fell out and I saw something wrong, which together took me another 30'. Tomorrow, tomorrow it'll be down to 20'. Not sure if it's worth it. This getting mixed up or mixing things up happens more when I do more. And one day I'll probably trip up with all 16 compartments. flying all over the place. What a laugh that'll be - I think I'll just put them away until I feel like doing a biiiig puzzle...

SELF-PHYSIO (click for details): 99' ✅. Cross-legged better and better! But worse again in the evening.

Timing, AuTr 5’, hunchback-pillow 10’, cold shower (10’), palpate 1’, belly 3’, back 7’, twist-stretch 10’, foot on knee/cross-legged 30’, yoga/stretching 5’, plantar/calf stretch 10’, neck 1+ 1’, loins 3’, teeth 2x2’,

THERAPIES: Sitting cross-legged is becoming really comfy and helps my lower back pain, so the treatment helped that. Dunno if my sick & nauseous feeling comes partly from it too tho, as I feel slightly nauseous during the treatment. Or is both something else...

Abbreviations & explanations

Entries start with night meds & sleep, before triggers/symptoms & treatments, because the “night before” is vital. So Fri-day starts with Thursday night, the night before Friday.

Pain "7" = crying (/out) point; my 1 is others 2-3, and due to pacing/treatments

My wife says my 7 is other people’s 12. 1 is probably 2-3. Due to pacing, keeping work down to 25% (12h/wk) and all my treatments (acupressure, GABA) and physio self-treatments I manage to keep getting my pains & Ache down quickly. 3 usually means the Ache, not pains; these I address individually, often automatically and on the fly now, e.g. twist-stretching everything or something specific after getting up.

TIME DATA, e.g. ' = mins, h = hours, 18:10:40', date YYYY-MM-DD

’ = mins = minutes, ‘’ = secs = seconds, h is hours as time length, 3h is 3 hours long, 3:00 is 3am, 15:00 is 3pm. 18:10:40’ means 40 minutes, starting at 18:10, = 10 minutes past 6pm up to 10 to 7pm. The date is the logical digital standard: YYYY-MM-DD.

SLEEP: slp, w, lbu/LBU, RLS, p, i

slp = sleep; reasons for getting up: w = (a)wake, lbu/LBU: lower back unrest (‘RLS’?), p: pee, p2: pain 2 of 7 before peeing, i: ideas.

ACTIVITIES: TT, e.g. "5:1"

TT = table tennis, 5:1 = score, usually showing how well I’m feeling: energy, relaxedness & alertness if the first number is much higher than the second.

SUPPS: supplements (as opposed to herbs & meds). Fx: Effects. Sfx: Side effects.

SELF-TREATMENTS (about everything else...)

The self-treatments listed are only things that I’m spotlighting & rewarding myself for at the mo by counting them; much of what I do at night is self-treatment to get back to sleep or alleviate (1-2h/d), certain regular movements at daytime, like twist-stretching (30’), writing this blog is self-treatment (30’-60’/d), and the further fibro-work is an indirect form.
Self treatments are usually preventative or always have the same positive effect (e.g. cold showering improves Ache and sleep) - at least I do them for that - and I use “” to show what I’m doing to alleviate something and mark it off in the details “/” whether it works well enough for a time or doesn’t’, e.g. Ache cold fast shower “”
fw = fibro-work, meaning reading and writing this blog, the reference base, on 4 fibro-forums and researching fibro-stuff on the web.
AuTr = Autogenic Training (usually to actively get - back - to sleep, so counting it as sleep and AuTr…),
FAT Flash/fast autogenic training: immediate image of dreamy floating in space or liquid from jaw to legs.
cold/FCS = Flash Cold Shower (20’’-60’’) , I count it as 10’ tho. At night with ear plugs & all lights off.
breath-hold/WHM-B-H = Wim Hof Method Breath-Holding,
Neck 1 is stretching top right to bottom left, vice versa & sky/ground, neck “1+” is stretching far further diagonally downwards, neck 2 is pressing my head against my hand “without moving”, left right and front.
loins = loins/groin = stretching the ligaments there.
ex = exercises
HWB = Hot water bottle,
RR = bp = blood pressure (Riva Rocci), plus pulse. Used to be normal, plus sometimes white coat syndrome, went up since fibro, seems to have gone down again enough so I’ve not only stopped lercanidipine, but also candesartan and am checking RR regularly.
“V” for loins = lie on back, legs up and let legs fall to sides;
twist-stretching more for the loins

My daily symptom & trigger hunt, preventing & alleviating, can be generalized.

2021-11-26, Friday - hearing “drop” for 3h & generally needing to take it slow

(v4: 18:10 - hearing drop stopped at 12:00, taking it slow.
(v3: 12:15 still OK, but hearing dropped about 30 dB on my right ear at 9:00, cf. development)
(v2: 8:15 good night, good getting up, B3-flush, whoops…)
(v1: eve before: good )
