Good post ! I too keep record of eating, drinking and activity. Last night had some ankle pain and calf discomfit. However, after getting out of bed and moving for a few minutes was O.K. The three days preceding, I had been extremely active, consequently I am staying on 4.5mg that I had tapered to 2 days ago and will see what happens. Took it easy to-day. Yes, stress is a definite factor. Try to a quiet time each day, just breathing and being.
