Allergic asthma is hell. So I finally fully got on the wagon. Prior to this almost a year no cigarettes, resumed and then to vape and stopped at the same time.

I was getting double vision and cramps and was starting to look like Wernicke Korsakoff, sure enough Thiamine deficiency. I have been having steady progress on that, easy because just take b complex but then as my energies were rising I went hard on whey protein in anticipation of a steady increase in exercise.

Then the dyspnea, wheezing, coughing fits, intercostal and diaphragm going into spasm from weakness, that muscle pain is the worst.

I also got very similar symptoms when I came down with CV19 but just consciously slowing breathing and within a few hours of onset I was able to sleep and 3 days later I was fine.

This asthma is hell in comparison. And it's not a common type, it resembles myasthenia gravis, when I pay attention I notice almost all my muscles are weak. Harder to get up. Slow walking not just because of breathing but hard to move the limbs.

And the only fully effective treatment is albuterol, and after 5 days of the asthma, the albuterol starts flipping to causing the problem and a cycle starts that sees me sleeping 2-3h bursts waking up wheezing, and hypertensive. And I can hardly think straight, working is out of the question because the pain fills all 7 of my short term memory registers and every thought takes way longer and often just gets lost in the infinitely more important problem of breathing.

I wish I'd not got whey powder. Hydrolysed beef I get no problem. And I made it worse with drinks containing casein based BCAAs and lactose and lactic acid, and butter and various other milky and grainy things. Guinness 0.0, probably least bad.

An antihistamine, 1st gen, called chlorpyramine, sold as алергозан alergozan, in Bulgaria, stops the gluten reaction but doesn't touch the casein allergy.

I guess somehow all the alcohol was displacing so much of my calories that previously whey was never a problem but now I am dry, I have clearly got to stay vigilant about the protein allergies. Only animal proteins are reliably not causing the allergy.

When it started up in 2014 after 7 months in remand eating 680g bread every day, it was so hard to avoid foods that kept it going. Homeless in Amsterdam, winter 2015 I had it really bad, but I would starve to not eat bread and I had plenty of time starving. A really sticky bind.

Anyhow. When I got it bad at age 15, I remembered taking cough suppressants. They definitely helped, by stopping the cough and blunting the gasp panic reaction associated with the cough.

So I'm gonna try to get some benadryl or robitussin. The ventolin is almost out and I really don't want to go through the hoops with the infamously bad NHS to get more when it's a terrible treatment that should be stopped in 3 days and the cause vehemently stopped.

My health is ok other than these (mainly plant protein) allergies. I can get more than fit enough for military service. Just gotta keep the diet together.

Lost so many hours work time this last 6 weeks to health issues.

I pray that after a couple days with help from some anticholinergic or opioid cough suppressant I can ride out the tail of this severe allergic reaction and fucking FINISH this last few pieces needed to make #Indranet testnet.

Alright. Now just waiting on the damn bank.
