I have gotten gout attacks in my shoulders, in my finger knuckles, in my elbows and also where muscles and ligament connect to bone
I have had gout attacks or psoriatic arthritis (like rheumatiz) flare up in a tissue or muscle group or damaged joint within a few days to a week after incurring an injury
If your muscles lock up on you getting really stiff after using them.. like if your arm lacks up when holding something in the store for 5-10 minutes and wont straighten out... this is most likely a result of low vitamin d so are muscle spasms which also could be a result of low sodium, low potassium or calcium or even a result of high levels of serotonin from taking a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, anti depressants, or even being sleep deprived
Serotonin which trips biological triggers is countered or damped by dopamine which relaxes the trigger.
too much serotonin and it becomes difficult to control one;s thoughts, one's imagination, even leads to halucinations where you actually start seeing in the minds eye what you are thinking of or imagining.
Ever been driving too long, remember something, think of something like a sweetheart or your hotrod and for a moment observed that scene play out translucently before your eyes as if you were looking into 2 worlds?
Your not seeing it with your eyes what is happenign is th eserotonin in your brain is so juiced that the visual center begins to have difficulty seprating what your eyes are seeing, from what you are thinking. At a certain point you just lose your perspective of reality and get lost in it, this is partially what happens to meth zombies or when a coke addict "whigs out"
I’ve done a little drugs in my past and I've also gone too long without sleeping so I have this experience base to realize what's going on when it happens.
When I'm driving and I start seeing what Im thinking of it's time to clear my head sing a song or something slap myself in the face and get to the next exit for a cat nap. A good half hour or so nap when you totally let go and let that sleep urge overtake you is enough to clear some of the serotonin and other neurotransmitters from your blood so you can think and operate clearly.
When all this necessary stuff builds up in you and your body needs to recapture and download it...your brain senses this and starts pumping out hormones that begin to shut down the brain.
This is made in the lower rear portion of the brain near the spine which is why it seems like a dark area or brain fog starts there. sometimes it feels like a roadblock or a stumbling stone because this part of your brain is actually starting to shut down and go dark.
not enough sleep and critical parts of the brain go to sleep even though yu may be on your feet and appearing awake.
The part of the brain effected by fatigue is th eexact same part o fth ebrain effected by alcohol.
before I knew this I always described how tired I was by how I would feel based upon X many beers downed in an hour "2 beers tired" or "5 beers tired"
Physical health, fitness, tactical ability, stamina, endurance, flexibility, well being...it's all connected
one or a few things out of balance can throw it all off
