Slept much better last night. Woke up twice I think. Once because I had hunger pains which turned out to be lack of water and second because I was just very restless upon waking.
Muscles do feel a bit stiff today even though I didn't do much yesterday. But that might be the egcg gap as I don't...
Dosings
EGCG: (due to a mistake with my maths these figures are new and 325mg was actually closer to 200mg)
200mg, 200mg, 125mg, 0mg
Oat bran: 1 tsp 3x a day
reishi: 980mg 3x a day
lions mane: 0mg
Well I am pleased to say the tiredness lifted and the yawning didn't persist much beyond 12pm. I...
Dosages
EGCG: 325mg, 325mg, 125mg, 0mg
Reishi: 980mg 3x a day
oat bran 0mg
lions mane 0mg
Sleep was broken, although was dehydrated for the first 2-3 hours after I went to sleep. I guess this feels like a symptom of ME as it never existed before, at least not regularly that I can remember. So...
Dosing
EGCG: 325mg, 325mg, 125mg, 0mg
Lions Mane: 0mg
Oat bran: 0mg
Reishi: 980mg x 3
Still no muscle fatigue today. Eating carbs at lunch definitely knocked me out, I mean I can still function but very sleepy. No carbs for lunch, just protein and fat.
I think the 325mg egcg dose again is...
Dosing:
EGCG 325mg, 325mg, 125mg, 0mg
Lions mane - none
Reishi extract - 1 capsule about 4pm and 1 at 8pm
oat bran - haven't taken any for a few days
Slept very well last night, I think not taking egcg at dose 4 anymore probably makes sleep much better. It took me an hour to get to sleep but I...
Dose 3 was
Egcg 125mg
No lion's mane
480mg reishi
No oat bran
Rest of protocol the same
As discussed for the hell of it I tried 325mg egcg in the am and at lunch. I still had dizziness while at this dose but it wasn't a major concern. In that I wasn't worried it was a sign of something bad. Not...
Dosings:
2 X 325mg egcg
1 X 125mg egcg
(I haven't been taking a forth dose for about 3 days and this would appear to have made sleep a lot better.)
No lion's mane or oat bran
No reishi until 425mg at dose 3.
All in all having. Pretty good day. Ended up doing a lot more than planned in the end...
Feel a lot better after breakfast which consists currently of
cashew nuts (2 tablespoons)
whey protein isolate (30g protein)
mixed with soy yoghurt
600mg NAC
and 4g glycine
+ probiotic capsule (solar ray 24 strain)
I found out probiotics give me a good energy boost a few months ago and have...
Dosing:
Egcg: 125mg
Everything else as normal but no oat bran.
Slept reasonably ok last night.
I've got a covid jab on the 3rd so I've got to come off anything immune exhaustive/aggregating and based on Cort Johnson's article MDs who were ME specialists recommended various things before the...
Standard protocol with tweaks:
EGCG 125mg
Reishi/lion's mane 980mg each
Oat bran 0mg
Today's going much better. Considering I woke at 8.30 today and yesterday and went to bed lateish last night seemingly more sleep currently isn't what I need.
I woke up with fatigue thismorning as I already...
Slept better, probably because I was pretty out of it most of the day. Have been feeling better in the evenings on two occasions, probably the evening carbs + the lack of beta glucans.
Woke up feeling like I was back on track to reach a decent baseline this morning, which is a relief! But not...
Felt a lot better 1 hour before this dose. I'm still in bed but I was able to get up and cook, but my knees are very weak and I'm actually very dizzy when I'm stood up. I think my body is just generally weak. I feel like I've just had a stomach flu or something and need a week to recover...
Feeling pretty bad today. Any gains I had made are gone in terms of energy levels. Sore throat is still gone. But I'm in bed with no energy and muscular weakness. My body feels weak and I just generally feel pretty pants.
It feels like the protocol built my system up and then the crash after...
Slept fine really but felt drugged up for most if it. Probably the 25mg nytol I took for sleep.
Woke up dizzy, with leg cramp that also feels like fatigue, muscle weakness and muscles tiring easily. So feels like I've over done it but I didn't do anything yesterday so there shouldn't have been...
Quick update.
Had a fair bit of nausea at 11am today, I think this might be because of yesterdays exertion and todays fatigue combined with taking my tablets too quickly this morning (5 minutes after food). Whereas I normally wait, so that was my own fault!
The nausea could also be an immunse...
Didn't sleep that great last night. Was quite warm as well when sleeping. One thing I haven't considered is whether my temperature tolerance is better than it was as this is often a big problem for ME people. One to think on later in the year. It only just got hot here in the UK most bizarre...
Really good day today, honestly amazed considering I felt rough thismorning, I feel fine now.
Just amazed how much energy I have throughout the whole day. Also the inflamation in my cranial cervical junction seems to have shifted, my muscles don't appear to have much PEM anymore either. I...
Feel rough today like I've got a cold. However I don't think it's due to anything I did yest or ME related. If this turns out to be true that's really quite impressive. Feels like an allergic attack all the same.
I took something yesterday which was off procotol as an experiment to reduce my...
Had a decent day today but definitely didn't feel as energetic as yesterday. Saying that I cooked an egg! And I scrambled it into my lunch. Was all very yummy but that might be why I got sleepy later. Only had nausea for about half an hour and no headache. So that was interesting. Had 75g of...
So thismorning I felt quite tired as I said and an hour after dosing my dizziness and muscle fatigue was present and not great.
It's 11am now and the effect of removing all carbohydrate from my breakfast hit me about 10am I think. Initially I became very hungry and felt worse, but then I drank...
