Hoax?
Nope, it's referring to the Naked Scientists group on facebook. We currently have both a "group" and a "page" on facebook, but want to concentrate on the "page" as it gives us more opportunity for interaction.Nothing on thenakedscientists.com will change, we'll carry on here as normal, it's only facebook that will change.
"URGENT DANDRUFFHi everybody,I have posted a similar question several times but I haven't got a right answer.I have a dandruff since a year ago. I have got some product and I can treat it easily. But after each ejaculation it comes back in worst way (some hours after the ejaculation). Please tell me if you have the same problem and could it be due to POIS."Prenobis - are you using a ketonazole shampoo by any chance? That has some strange side effects. See http://www.retaining-hair-health.com/2009/12/nizoral-ketonazole-shampoo.html What seems odd is the rapid onset of the condition post ejaculation. Do you get really hot (temperature wise) or perspire a lot as this could cause an increase in the growth of Pityrosporum ovale which is the yeast responsible for dandruff. Have you tried washing your hair immediately afterwards to see if that reduces the problem. If not then it is probably not dandruff but some sort of eczema or similar dermatological condition worsened by chemical changes associated with sex.

I have been diagnosed with neuralgia (headaches), tinnitus (ringing in the ear), PTSD and depression.I was on gabapentin for a while, which worked great, actually too well.While I was on gabapentin, you could literally hit me with a brick and I wouldn't even flinch.I also noticed my drinking shot way up, since it seems to mask hangovers.In fact, all of my gratuitous behaviors (including sex) increased.I lost my job and medical coverage (predictably) and stopped taking the gabapentin. The old symptoms came rushing back with a vengeance. Please, no sympathy for the devil.Anyhow, I never liked being medicated. I have taken my condition into my own hands and I have been cleaning up my act for the past few months. I have stopped smoking, drinking, coffee, and now even sex. I am trying to isolate the cause of these symptoms.If it turns out that "clean living" cures me, I am going to be at once grieved and relieved. Many lost years, but I will trade them all for any symptom free years. I actually really hope its the sex thing - the last place I have looked. If it doesn't work, its back to the meds and associated risks.BTW - its only through faith that I have been able to quit all the gratuitous behavior - I have simply traded the behavior for peace of mind and a sense of purpose - the promise of well-being rather than the pursuit of pleasure.I will keep you all up to date, and invite all to join me in getting clean. It's the simple solution that is most often overlooked.

Quote from: daveyboy on 02/01/2010 21:19:07I think the moderator just wants me to go away...Not true!I see huge improvement in the form of give-and-take. Keep in mind that we have had true disrupters here from time to time, with massive hidden agendas and not-in-the-least-interested in exchanging ideas. It's not always easy to identify early on, and in some cases waiting way too long - giving people more and more leeway - has proven detrimental to the forum. So I apologize if I've been too hasty!

Do majority of people here only have problems post orgasm? What about in between?I know that even if I hold off for weeks, my body and mood is just not right...
Welcome Itsmebutwho?. You know, there are 50-60 old men starting to have Pois symptoms after intercourses. So, talking over-masturbation is not correct. Dispite a difference between masturbation and sexual intercourse is possible. And stopping ejaculation will never be a therapy. It's just avoiding symptoms. We want to return to a normal sexual life, not abstinence for life. Your symptoms are close to mine (especially underweight, myokymia...).--I think itchings and scratchings during Pois days might be a sign that endorphins are involved. Very interesting article :QuoteEndorphins and enkephalins are important opioid neurotransmitters in the CNS that mediate the sensation of itch. Although morphine alleviates pain, it aggravates itch, as itch and pain share common neurological pathways. The central elicitation of itch by morphine results from binding to opioid receptors and this binding may mimic normal physiological binding of endorphins and enkephakins at these receptor sites. Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, has been found to reduce histamine-provoked itch. I think it might be the best explanation for immediate or early Pois symptoms.--Hazey, in the past I felt normal between good between cycles. Now, I'm sensible to stress.

[Mine] is purely a concern for other peoples well-being, because i've gone through itand know how depressing this problem can be.
