It's almost shocking to find out how long the waiting lists are to see any specialist.
Tonight I slept really badly, possibly also because carbs were a tad too low, so I woke at 4am (4hrs after going to bed) and ate 10 fresh dates , (not fresh fresh, but still very soft: yum!!) and took 2 tryptophan caps.

This morning I called the physician and made an appointment for this afternoon. Hopefully something will happen sooner than getting to see a physical therapist after a month and perhaps it's not even what I suspect it is.

The confusing part is really that the tingling has been going on for several months now but typically only at night after a low-carb day (not even keto-level low, just 50-ish grams) and would disappear after a higher-carb day (150-250g of carbs).
But now it seems to be a pinched nerve too. At the right side: painful shoulderblade/scapula, upper front deltoid, but also a bit of a weird feeling around elbow, numb middle fingers.

If I just knew what exactly was going on, then it wouldn't worry me so much. I'm imagining lots of worst-case scenarios now..

Re to working out.. I'll not lift weights until Feb 1 and just do 2 cardio sessions next week.
I'm still working on the new schedule and considering the symptoms think of doing less pullup-work and more bent-over-rows , completely the opposite of what I'd planned to do. Or.. if I do, no (heavy) weighted pullups.
