Wound / neuropathy flare, ~2:50 PM:
Sudden bilateral foot and ankle pain, described as burning — "on fire." Not DVT-related, this one's neuropathy. Tried diaper rash ointment first, thinking it might just be dry skin — no relief.
Took 4 ibuprofen, 4 Tylenol, 3 naproxen, plus 3 extra beetroot and 3 extra turmeric on top of the morning dose. First NSAID/Tylenol use since going aspirin-only back on Day 3.
For context: this is still well below the pre-protocol daily baseline (8–9 ibuprofen, 6 naproxen, 8–9 Tylenol, plus aspirin, turmeric, and beetroot every day before starting this stack).
Magnesium correction, ~3:30 PM:
Realized the magnesium glycinate bottle had been left out during a supplement reorganization roughly 3–4 days ago (~August 15th–16th) and had been missed since. Resumed today with 1 capsule. Days 8–11 in the log have been retroactively flagged — exact missed days are approximate.
