Quote from: demografx on 07/02/2009 01:47:44FIRST TRIAL LEVITRA AND TESTOSTERONE PATCH COMBOSince several hours ago......very few POIS symptoms! First time with the patches. I'm cautiously optimistic and on guard for the placebo effect.As scientific research demands, I'm keeping my toes and fingers crossed! []That's the post I was waiting for. So it's working! Hope too it's not a placebo.Thanks a lot Demo and I don't know who else who wrote these forum guidelines (which are more rules I see!). I was not expecting to see this. I hope it will help to reduce further public exclusions (involuntarily or not). Also I think we may have lose some important information/help from the "annoying posters", but of course we'll nevertheless find the solution!

These symptoms and their severity have hardly changed during my life time. Will throw some pet theories at you in my next posting.
When I was POIS and GAD free from 29-40 years of age, my exercise was high, stress controlled, sugar burned up completley, endorphins way up, sleep good etc. I lost control of my stress around 1990 as it got the better of me, and my panic/anxiety returned (like 1976) followed quickly by POIS. I feel that POIS was nearly undetectable in the early years, but as I reflect, I felt kind of "poor" many times.
Just filled out Counterpoints's survey. Very good survey instrument in my opinion and I hope it will help some medical folks do a pilot study.In doing the survey I noticed I haven't been complete in posting my symptoms. Should have added: irritability, craving of sweets, and bad breath. Also, given my reduced mental alertness, I do poorly in social situations during POIS, and, already not being naturally talkative, become even less talkative.
It's very interesting that so many people have independently voiced the "word finding difficulty" symptom.

Clearly this theory does not explain Girlwind's or other women's cases. By the way, I am convinced that a former girlfriend of mine has/had POIS. When I pointed this out to her she denied it, though.
I'm not saying anyone here is an "annoying" poster, or anything. But keep in mind that a disruptive poster, even if he may have some useful information, is likely to1) change the direction of productive discussions2) prevent others from coming forward with helpful posts.This has a net negative effect. This is why moderation, and sometimes public warnings, are necessary.

If Dr. Waldinger is correct, and there is a type of inflammatory response to orgasmI always get a mild stuffed nose during POIS. Could that be an allergic response?
Does anyone here have a history of using cortisone creams? e.g. elocom, etc. Anything with hydrocortisone in it?Last week I did a 24 hr urine cortisol test, and the results were really alarming (high)... more than twice the upper reference. I haven't used cortisone creams very much for a couple years now, but I used to use them regularly (daily)... before POIS started too.Also, T3 measured high again (above upper reference). Twice in a row now. T4 and TSH both quite normal though.

Could that be an allergic response? So many of the theories put forward seem plausible to me. I certainly have had serious allergy problems during my life. To both indoor and outdoor allergents. POIS makes me more susceptible. I do get a stuffed nose, my asthma gets worse. Also my arthritis and tendonitis problems get worse.Has anybody systematically taken their body temperature before and after orgasm?
Rob, thanks for your theory, It's hard to say if it's caused by fluid loss or orgasm itself.Maybe the two are causing problems (?)About higher volume of ejaculation It's a possibility for me too but I never tried to scientifically measure this. I tought it could be caused by sexual abstinence.
