I took a blood test one week after release, POIS-free. My endocrinologist comments on my hormone test results:"Your testosterone concentration is low and prolactin is high. If I cannot explain it by the medications/supplements you were taking I'll want to schedule an MRI of your pituitary gland."

I take my labs shortly and will test each hormone (testosterone and prolactin).Will you take the MRI based on the doctors discretion?

Or are they the only ones he mentioned to be "out of range?"
If [Chewbacca] reads this, maybe he can comment?
Demo: Great that something will finally come out from your visit to the university. If they give you testosterone replacement therapy will you accept to take it ?

I really think Pois may be interpreted as an inflammation, at least for flu-like symptoms (fevers, back, shoulders and knees pains...even acne)
That is interesting. When you say subsequent attempts do you mean orgasming 6 days in a row or 6 in a day?Also, do the symptoms go away during 'play' but return after orgasm?I've never experienced this before because each orgasm I feel worst than before. I usually stop after 3 or 4 orgasms because of that trend. Maybe I just need to man-up and work it more.

If they give you testosterone replacement therapy will you accept to take it ? I'm not sure. I took it before, it helped libido, but not POIS. My understanding is that it can shut down your body's own testosterone production.
In regards to cortisol. My cortisol is usually high when I have it tested. HOWEVER, in the 5 tests I've done, my cortisol has consistently been higher within hours of orgasm, than when I wait for a couple days.
For Chewbacca, I have to say that this phrase "use it or lose it" "sex is like a muscle etc.." has been terribly devastating for me. (very severe pois, if not the cause of pois). Also it's false for me, the opposite is true.
ADHD-I?For a long time, I have exhibited symptoms of ADHD predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I: SEE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADHD-I). This is a special subtype of ADHD, and patients with this have responded to treatment differently than those with other types of ADHD. I have never pursued treatment. These symptoms are particularly apparent "in POIS". But even outside POIS, I quite obviously suffer from: "inattention, easy distractibility, disorganization, procrastination, forgetfulness". It's not something that has particularly bothered me, since I have a degree of conscious control over it. But it is obvious. I'm horribly disorganized, and I always have been. And though I generally did well in school, my main problem was with careless mistakes. I could almost never get 100% on anything, since I would make a trivial addition error, or something of this sort, no matter how well I understood the material.Perhaps this behavior is due to a chemical imbalance that is severely exacerbated by orgasm? Has anyone else had these symptoms, outside POIS? If you read the wikipedia description of ADHD-I, do you find it describes you at all? Also: Sluggish cognitive tempo (SEE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluggish_cognitive_tempo) seems to describe many of the in-POIS symptoms.Any ideas?
