http://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=98.0This is where you can post your blood test results ! Everybody should post it if we want to understand some medical disorders
I have just got my blood test results back from Dr Goldmeier (the clinic lost the first lot which caused a delay of a few weeks)All the below were normal:Thyroid, testosterone,prolactin, glucose, liver, kidney, blood screen ( anaemia etc), calcium.He said my Phospate level was a bit low and will redo that next time he sees me.Low phosphate levels can have a number of causes, for example high calcium levels can put phosphate levels down, but i obviously dont definitely know why this might be. Poor absorption of nutrients can lead to it and i believe i have suffered from that in the past due to food allergies and intolerances so i could hazard a guess at that. Low phosphate levels can cause confusion, changes in mental state, irritable behavior and pain in muscles, also some of my POIS symptoms.Another of Dr Goldmeier's suggestions was that POIS was caused by my using sexual behaviour to ease anxiety ( i know i do this) and the consequent drop in certain stimulating and "feel good" hormones after orgasm can be part of POIS. I find this to be a reasonable explanation but don't think this means "it's all in the mind", rather that body and brain chemistry effects thinking and mood as a contributory factor in the depressed feeling of POIS. This doesnt completely explain my physical symptoms however.If anybody has thoughts about any of the above - blood test results, phosphates or POIS's relationship to anxiety I would be glad to hear them.

Hi Badgerstrip. Did you get any allergy tests done?

I talked to my psychologist friend about this and he said it's common that guys have O's to relieve stress or tension. In itself, this doesn't appear to be a problem. If it's chronic anxiety and you're having O's every day to relieve it then that's possibly different.
!!! Feeling good or feeling bad about having and orgasm or using it for anxiety relief has nothing to do with POIS. If the silly Goldmeier theory was true then there would be hundreds of thousands of POIS already documented throughout the human history because of many obvious reasons. Nothing to really do with the psychological aspect of the whole damn thing. But still... there could be something wrong with the brain - not physically (as people already had brain scans and no anomalies were seen) but maybe something on the more "autonomous" side of things with an interaction with some kind of an unknown and new factor (let's say 1950 - present) that was not present in the past. God knows
Has someone tried immune supression?

We need a brain Functional MRI before, while exciting with an O, and during POIS to understand what is wrong with the brain functions.The past stuctural brain MRI only could show " the pituitary adenoma" some POIS patients got, but nothing more.When Dr Goldmeier told me I should practice meditation last august, I thought it was a joke...But he made me done the Own semen allergic tests and it was positive (2 cm).Since, I started a desensibilization but it is hard to know if it helps because I am in Chronical Fatigue state!
