Update: Second day away from orgasmI hate to report this (sort of) but I have experienced no symptoms this time, without taking anything. I am mystified. As I said I don't put faith in the Candida theory but to be precise for the record I have been eating yogurt + berries daily for about six months now. I always have included frozen blueberries and for the last couple of months I have been adding chopped frozen cranberries. I am not saying any of this is related to my lack of symptoms, I am just reporting it. Other than diet the only other change I can think of this time is more sleep. I usually keep a regular sleep schedule, but the last few days I have allowed myself to sleep longer, to get about average 9 hrs (broken by waking once each night). Could the extra sleep be "tranquilizing" my brain? Or did Relora not actually stop my POIS symptoms after all, has something else been "working" recently? [] [] []

[] [] []I would have to say sleep has little to do with POIS. I was in college all of this last year and I would have to say that I slept 12+ hours a day, thinking that it would cure it. But now I only get 8 and I actually feel better.
Oversleeping is rarely thought to be healthy.
CP,QuoteOversleeping is rarely thought to be healthy.What is oversleeping? I would think that it isn't too much if you feel good afterward. If you feel bad it is too much. I used to find that I did not feel great if I slept longer, but just the last few days I have experimented and found the extra time refreshing. My night's sleep is always interrupted by typically one waking, after which I eventually fall back asleep (sleep maintenance insomnia). So, for me I think it might be a good thing, it might make up for my loss. But I do hate wasting extra time sleeping. )
Demo,Have you got a response from WHO?
I should point out again that the science is really bad on this Candida explanation. Seemingly, for the most part, "Candida" diagnosis is a scam, and the information available on the internet is unreliable. Go to a physician (MD) [emphasis mine - demo]
[continued from CP quote above]and ask if you have a yeast infection. http://ezinearticles.com/?Candidiasis-Hypersensitivity-(Systemic-Candida)-Is-It-Really-a-Fraud&id=446093Discusses the issue, in response to Candida diagnosis being put on quackwatch's top 10 fraud list. It says the suggested diet (Nathan Pritikin) for the most part is probably good for you anyways, so I think in that case it may be worth trying. But there are also some things to look out for.
Hi everybody,I didn't make a sex since 2 weeks, but I have POIS symptomes after 2 sleepless nights. This time I don't have flu-like symptomes, but skin problems and backache, I am pale etc. Do you have same thing?
Just found this and had never read this before..... anyone else miss this....I found it at http://forum.mesomorphosis.com/mens-health-forum/post-orgasmic-illness-syndrome-134261293.html

Tonight, if my body and mind need 15 hours, it needs 15 hours. Period.
I know candida sounds fishy and i also think that those symptoms are definately to much for one thing to be causing. The diet required to expell candida, is actually not a bad diet if you dont cut carbohydrate down to seriously. I will try and see and keep trying to get my self in an endocrinologist office.
As long as you don't cause an "O" by yourself, I believe NE's won't really affect it.
I don't think candida diagnosis is a scam

NE-POIS is very common amongst us. I've heard only very few cases of POIS - free NE's.Quote from: goingcrazy on 15/06/2009 17:58:04I don't think candida diagnosis is a scamGC, a scam is what some of us believe about the majority of cases. You might not be in that majority. Can we just talk about you? What specific test proved that you have an infection, and what kind of infection was found? What kind of medical professional? (M.D., naturopath, etc.) How did you first learn about Candida?Thank you.
