Health
This is where I keep track of my health.
General psychological problems
I have been struggling with generalised anxiety disorder and occasional panic attacks since 2001. Medical treatments are known to be unpleasant triggers. I received treatment for this for some time in 2013, but discontinued it by mutual agreement because it didn't help.
Around 2018, the anxiety moved into my sleep and I started having violent nightmares where I would wake up screaming and covered in sweat.
Since around 2022, I only have nightmares very rarely, but I still often wake up shaking.
General state of health
- Height 172 cm, weight approx. 110 kg, obesity grade 1.
- Hypercholesterolemia with xanthelasma
- latent hypothyroidism (hyperthyroidism)
- Misalignment of the spine with protruding abdomen, hump and hump of the cervical spine. Signs of degeneration of the cervical spine.
- Hypermetropia with occasional tunnel vision to the left.
- Dental misalignment due to 3 remaining wisdom teeth. Receding gums and frequent gingivitis.
- Low blood pressure with tendency to dizziness, weakness in the knees and blackening of the eyes when exposed to high temperatures and exertion.
- Tiredness and weakness even when sleeping a lot. I rarely feel fully awake and only for a maximum of 1-2 hours. Sometimes I fall asleep "like a convulsion".
- I often have a dry mouth and a torn (lower) lip.
Allergies
I am allergic to nickel, which is already clearly visible when I wear nickel-containing buttons or jewellery on my body or when I use nickel-containing guitar or bass strings. Abbey's calendula ointment made my face swell up when I applied it.

When I woke up today, I already felt quite queasy in my stomach. I really didn't eat much yesterday, but the feeling tells me that my stomach is still very sensitive. I also had a sour taste in my mouth and my circulation is still pretty weak.
It's not quite as bad as before, but I'm definitely still not completely healthy.
