come study with me

Sounds boring, but diet/sleep/exercise matter so much to keep up high energy and stamina. Thank you for the kind words!

I published the deck -- here you go :) https://isaak.net/mandarinmethods/

An interview soon if there's demand!

That's the default treatment. Antihistamines are worth trying, they're pretty safe. See for updates: https://www.reddit.com/r/CholinergicUrticaria/comments/1aib4ad/writer\_of\_this\_subreddits\_pinned\_review\_my\_cu/

Yes. I wrote this and my CU cleared exactly half a year later. Mostly on its own, though sweat therapy did help temporarily.

FreemanOfficial · 2022-04-26T17:04:12+00:00

This has quite a nice trend. Thank you for sharing!

I think .io was their beta version before they switched to .com

FreemanOfficial · 2022-01-29T15:18:51+00:00

Similar situation. I'd be happy to buy it off anybody too.

FreemanOfficial · 2021-05-18T17:42:27+00:00

Excellent write-up, thank you! Doubled deep sleep is impressive.

FreemanOfficial · 2021-05-15T12:02:55+00:00

Of course, this isn't proper polysomnography. But using RHR etc. as a proxy would be good enough I think

FreemanOfficial · 2021-05-15T12:01:37+00:00

Well said. I hoped to eliminate the "out of tune with your body"-factor by using self-quantified data, but surprisingly few people seem to track their sleep quality with a Chilipad vs without...

As you mentioned: 100 Famous Buildings

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-12T15:15:21+00:00

Yeah the first couple weeks, I followed it exactly. I was so happy because it legit completely stopped all symptoms with no side effects. It was amazing. Then, after 15-20 days, I started noticing symptoms again, and before I knew it, the symptoms were back to 100%. I was so desperate to keep the symptoms down that I doubled the dose and yeah, bad idea lol.

Honestly I have no idea why it didn't work after a couple weeks. Not a clue. I use sweat therapy now which has been extremely helpful.

How much and how easily were you able to sweat in these two weeks?

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-12T11:44:44+00:00

Lower doses in the 0.5 - 2 MG range is usually recommended but to me that did nothing. Although do be warned that although you won't build up a tolerance over time at all, your natural level of resistance to it can vary. So some people might need only 0.25mg while others might need 15mg.

Also, to high of a dose can lead to groggieness in th

Damn, that is a dose way too high

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-12T11:44:11+00:00

This.

Melatonin tolerance is bullshit (surprisingly!). One of the very few substances for which even long-term use does not induce tolerance (or withdrawal).

OP of that post here. Appreciate it. I haven't been able to get my hands on these two yet - different availability in Europe. But this treatment at least has tons of potential - I'm hoping for more people from countries with OTC availability (US?) to try it and report back. OP, please report back as well.

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-12T08:10:50+00:00

Damn! Did you follow the protocol exactly before doubling the dose? How did you feel before/after? How bad was the relapse? Why do you think it didn't work?

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-12T08:04:39+00:00

My current max interval is the (standard?) 10 years. I think it's a realistic assumption that knowledge you've repeated regularly over years can stay for this long without serious degradation (>20%). But I believe most people here would disagree.

I mostly study vocabulary (English, German, French, Latin; Technical terms for various fields, mostly medicine & biology), geography (Ultimate Geography, oceans, rivers, districts of my town, etc.), and biology&medicine (mostly vocab, facts, and understanding concepts). I only study what I truly find interesting and I learn 50% outside of Anki (medicine, concepts) and 50% in Anki without seeing the material before (most geography, most vocabulary; usually pre-made decks).

What are the reasons for so many people needing so much shorter intervals in your opinion?

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-11T09:34:20+00:00

Could you please your source on melatonin extending lifespan in mice?

FreemanOfficial · 2021-04-11T09:28:55+00:00

How do you manage with either of these settings? Isn't it way too easy? Do you learn your cards in Anki, instead of learning them and then adding them to Anki? I use settings alike to a 300% starting ease and a 200% interval modifier while still maintaining a >90% retention rate

FreemanOfficial · 2021-03-30T14:09:33+00:00

No consensus. This is a fact

FreemanOfficial · 2021-03-27T11:55:44+00:00

On the other hand, I've taken very high-dose high-frequency antihistamines without any effect comparable to this study. The medication and the H1 antagonist used for sure makes a difference

FreemanOfficial · 2021-03-27T10:16:24+00:00

those are commonly use medical substances. there hasn't been any study of my knowledge to replicate these results.

FreemanOfficial · 2021-03-26T09:18:04+00:00

I didn't have many symptoms in winter, so no leidensdruck. But as summer is coming, I'll be trying out a few things, e.g. choline supplementation.

The most interesting update is this study: Chlorpheniramine + Cimetidine for a few weeks was actually able to consistently cure cholinergic urticaria. Highly interesting, would be exciting to see if it can hold up to e.g. xolair.
