please remember I suffer with severe cognitive dysfunction this may be a confusing read...some AI content

Hello fellow humanoids and I trust everyone out there is feeling slightly better than I am yes it's been another one of those weeks a lot has happened let's hope that you can understand what I'm writing haha as you know when I do these usually I end up having my cognitive dysfunction you know what that's like when you're staring at a piece of paper and you've lost all the words and you've lost all your train of thought and the head hurts haha

The autonomic dysfunction has started to calm down somewhat, i have modified my diet again to get rid of more histamines it's amazing that even food that doesn't have histamines that causes a reaction in the body that causes the body to make some sort of weird histamine thing below you will find the explanation from the AI as I find it very hard to find the proper words to describe all of it otherwise we would be in a fine pickle trying to understand what I've put down

Understanding Autonomic Dysfunction and Histamine Intolerance What is Autonomic Dysfunction?

Autonomic dysfunction refers to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiratory rate. This can lead to symptoms like fainting, dizziness, fatigue, and more.

The Role of Histamines

Histamines are chemicals in the body involved in immune responses, regulating physiological functions, and neurotransmission. They can trigger allergic reactions and affect various bodily systems.

Histamine Intolerance Explained

Histamine intolerance occurs when there is an excess of histamine in the body or an inability to break down histamine properly. This can lead to a range of symptoms, including headaches, digestive issues, skin rashes, and respiratory problems.

Elimination of High-Histamine Foods: Certain foods are naturally high in histamines, such as aged cheeses, fermented products, and processed meats. Removing these can help lessen symptoms.

Low-Histamine Alternatives: Include fresh meats, certain fish, eggs, fresh vegetables, and gluten-free grains.

The Impact of Histamine-Releasing Foods: Some foods, even if they are low in histamines, can trigger the body to release its own histamines. Common culprits include tomatoes, strawberries, and chocolate.

The Benefits of Dietary Changes

Symptom Relief: Over time, reducing histamine intake can contribute to a noticeable decrease in symptoms associated with autonomic dysfunction. Increased Awareness: Modifying your diet allows you to become more aware of how your body reacts to different foods, fostering a more personalized approach to your health.

Conclusion

Your journey toward managing autonomic dysfunction through dietary changes is commendable. By focusing on low-histamine foods and being mindful of histamine triggers, you're taking proactive steps toward better health. Keep experimenting and paying attention to how your body reacts—this awareness is key to finding what works best for you. thank you AI

So my diet and change your food regimen has really started paying dividends again I have to be very careful and check everything I eat as my body is that sensitive even to the smells can start me off it is quite unbelievable it's taken me a very long time to get the drs to understand what I'm going through

So now I'm just waiting for an appointment with the neurologist so we'll see how that goes But on a more positive side i have been doing more and more, and I bit the bullet this week and I completely reformatted my machine that's my PC and now running Linux mint

It's taken me about four years to be truthful to fully install Linux as I was using it on a pen drive and testing it out for a while you know how that goes you can make all the mistakes and not make the system go stupid well it's in stalled on the PC now and it's amazing all the programs that are free with Linux in fact I would go as far as to say some of the programs are so much superior to those of Windows even though my brain fog is quite severe I'm able to Battle through and haven't screwed anything up yet which is amazing so yeah Linux is far more easier for me than Windows as Windows 11 is all AI and stupid haha personally I'm the Window 7 man but there we go

I have also been doing a lot of research to some of the things that I have been seeing I now have orbs on film that will have been seen regularly in our living room they are white balls of light in varying sizes floating around the room it's quite unbelievable and it's not just me that sees this so I know it's not an optical illusion or to do with my MS

So that now beggars the question these blue orbs that I see and white small orbs that I see around that are like little stars up to the size of a Sixpence they are still around and I see those a lot and I just wondered if all these orbs are connected if it's to do with some sort of spiritual thing or it's some sort of weirdness that comes from another dimension who knows lol

Because when I have asked people about what is going on with me they seem to want to placate me and Pat me on the head and say they're there it's all in your head and your imagining everything so yeah I'm going to start showing the film to the doctors and saying what is this then can you work out what I'm going through and how can I can see it there how come albertine can also see it and see them floating around so yeah whose mad then me I don't think so lol

also there was these weird other things that I've been seeing they have been called time slips or bleed overs or whatever and I did some research on this and guess what the same things have been seen that I seen in those areas in fact it seems to vindicate what I have seen so yes that is another thing that means what I saw on those occasions have been seen by other people over the past 60 plus years unbelievable but there we go and I am still doing more research But I may be lucky.

Sending everybody peace, healing, love and light to whomever and whatever you are out there.

Still, the holidays are over. And yes, did I have a good time? Not really. I do miss the Christmases of many, many, many, many years ago though. The big family Christmases of maybe 20, 30 years ago. So I'm hoping everybody, no matter whom, had a fantastic holiday season.

Personally, the holiday season really sucked for me. Yes, it really did. To be fair, the weather really did for me more than anything else. It seems that the south-west went uber, uber-frosty. And yes, it had consequences that are going to be felt well into the new year. Oh, the joys. Rusty 1 the van. Oh, turn the key and the battery is as dead as a dodo. And I have to go to the wheelchair services to sort my new wheelchair out in the new year. So here's hoping that I can get the AA over to come and start the van up. Here's hoping I don't need a new battery, otherwise that's going to be a real pain in the bum. That's what really annoys me. It's everything coming to a halt. It seems when the holidays arrive, everything stops and there we go. But that's just me I suppose.

Not to mention my phone driving me mad with all the text messages from the chemist, telling me that I have to be there to pick my prescription up. And yeah, I get busy people. Yeah, when you receive like three text messages and you can't go to get them because it's impossible. Yeah, it makes you wonder, doesn't it? And then I have to go and see the machine of death and put my numbers in and see what comes out. Will I break the machine? Will the machine break me? What will happen? Will the people be really happy with me? Will the chemist give me one of those knowing looks of oh here comes the man with the three wheeled trolley of death. And he's come to break my dispensary machine. Yeah, well these electrical things are not built the best, but they're a very good idea in practice. And should I say in theory they're a very good idea but in practice probably not the best.

So now it's getting in touch with the AA, get the battery sorted, probably a new battery. Oh, the joys of that. And then there's having to travel, what is it, 60 miles to go to the wheelchair services? I can't do it locally. No, it's a bit daft. But there we go, such is life. And if it's snowing, then I won't be able to go. Oh, dear. Do you know it's going to be snowing and you know the weather's going to be bad because I got a January appointment. It's never good down here in the snow. So yeah, I could be waiting even longer for my new wheelchair. Apparently it goes up and down side to side and there's all sorts of weird stuff. So I am looking forward to getting that. I bet it actually get out the house and go more places, see more people. It might be a go, oh yeah. I mean, how unreal is that? Actually go out. Actually go somewhere. Actually see people. But then again, do I really want to go out? Everybody seems to have the colds, flu, diarrhea, all these bugs and illnesses going around everywhere.

Now I'm retired. I may as well just say, hey, just don't bother ever going out again. And then I'll feel, well, just as shitty with the MS and the dysfunction. But hey, now at least I won't have the flu. But then again, people who deliver me food and stuff. Yeah, so it's all very well, isn't it? But self isolation can only go so far really. And then the end, you can probably self isolate the point where you never ever go outside again. And you never want to speak to anyone again. So then it inpeeds on your mental health. So yeah, some people seem to think being disabled is a very easy life. I can tell you it's not. Even doing this is making my head hurt the point that I want to stop but I'm not. That's the problem with chronic illness. You push and push and push until you can't push anymore.

So the bane of my life at the moment seems to be batteries. The joys of batteries and battery discharges, batteries exploding, batteries that don't do what they say on the label. Honestly, I think I've spent most of my money on replacement batteries over the past load of years. It's quite incredible. And it's always just outside the guarantee as well. So you're thinking, "Ah, yes." No, it seems all the electrical stuff doesn't last very long these days. I can remember having a radio solid state when I was only a teenager that I still probably had up until a few years ago. That's how long stuff used to last 40, 50 years. These days things can't last five minutes. It's a bit weird that. Seems things got better but don't last as long. That is very strange.

January is coming and let's hope the weather warms a little. The physiotherapist is coming over to see me in January for a look over I believe. So that should be interesting. Let's see what new exercises they can give me to help me. I'm sure they're very helpful. The person sounded very helpful and very knowledgeable on the phone and I'm looking forward to this appointment. but still waiting to hear from the neurology department as I want to get into this dysfunction business with them so they can help me out more. It really is a silly thing sometimes. I should have moved hospitals years ago, but I didn't and now I'm regretting that I didn't. So yeah, yes, that's down to me unfortunately. I am fed up with all these symptoms down the left hand side of my body, like my body has had a stroke. Yes, this dysfunction or auto dysfunction or however they say it or spell it is causing me hell. Because I cannot have any histamine in anything I eat, otherwise it sends me into this really weird place. But I am having to try and deal with it, but it is causing me heart issues as well. So I am waiting to hear back from a cardiology thing as I had a heart monitor for a week as well. Yes, I know what I think is wrong with me and I am just waiting back to hear that it is not as bad as it could be, but it is still bad if you know what I mean....

So to be honest, I've spent the whole of these last past few days trying to relax and de-stress. It's been very cold here. I've been trying to stay warm. I've been really getting into trying to get my diet sorted out. Now I know what's really going on. And that's starting to help. Believe me, change of diet is everything. It done half-help, I'll tell you. MS and this autumn Munich dysfunction. Oh my word. Food really, really causes hell with it all.

Yeah, well, now my spelling. I'm using voice to text to do this as my fingers are completely numb and I cannot feel anything with my hands at the moment. My voice is slightly croaky and some of my words are, well, not what they seem. It's just too funny. But I refuse to put my words through AI as it sanitizes and changes my words too much. So you'll probably see the complete change in my writing style. Yeah. But there we go. I was told use your own words. Don't let the AI change your words. Then your real real words are true, genuine, not sort of AI made up stuff.

I have not forgotten about doing my spoken blog either and that is now being sorted out. We have a Spotify account and we are just getting everything ready and I have to get the confidence and I have to get my head together to do it as well. So that should be fun.
