Demografx, you recently said that no matter how long you abstain from orgasm the effects will still be there after orgasm. (sorry for my inability to quote) How long did you remain celibate for?
Consider that some MDs are to busy to research the latest hormone studies/information and that their not people who are sick. I didn't sign up for a career in hormone research but it's what I got to do and where I am in life.TSH Update - I've taken 50mgs of presecription T4 for one week, now. No noticeable changes so far. I'm hoping one day I wake up shiny and squeeky clean.

I'm ready to make the tests recommanded by Michael, Girlwind and others but only in blood, not saliva :/ I would prefer saliva tests at least for cortisol and Dhea. The good point is i will test pregnenolone too. That's a good point for me considering my low cholesterol. [] Forget fructose depletion theory of youtube's comment. In the blood, cortisol is linked to corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG). On the saliva, cortisol is free.
Re: Fructose and chewing gum with phenylalanine----Demo and Goingcrazy:In the past I have noticed short term, surprising mood enhancement when I have chewed gum with phenylalanine. I just thought it was me or a freak occurrence. I will focus more on this. Also, I have always felt significantly better when I have had a large fruit salad made by my wife. This is no matter what my situation, GAD or POIS. Again, I haven't really focused on this much. I have done some research into hypoglycemic reactions, but I haven't seriously gone into it re: POIS. My wife has been yelling at me for 20 years to each "much more" fresh fruit. Again, she's probably right and I'm a stubborn fool. Maybe I'll move a "reaction up" and try some Pheylalanine instead of L Tyrosine and see what happens (in the dopamine production sequence). This last week I've feel like a friggin pin ball or better yet a random ping pong ball in the lottery machine.
Wow, Goingcrazy------You just answered questions that I was about to ask. Thank you!Could you please tell me the brand of this gum?thanks

(sorry for my inability to quote) How long did you remain celibate for?I've gone 2-3 months many a time. Very disappointing, I thought "recovery time" would work. It never did.
CC, haven't heard from Jane Ashby yet, but at least SSTAR forwarded my letter to the "right" Jane Ashby.
Also with respect to Metabolism etc:Keep in mind that the only reported cure for POIS in this forum has been from an incredibly fit 24 year old athlete/boxer. I can tell you that his routine probably is quite exhausting. Elite athletes also pay attention to their physiques, and tend to develop muscle easier. Young athletes tend to have great metabolism and an ability to sustain discomfort. Endorphins are at their call. I experienced this in my late 20's and early 30's. I submit there is a big difference in circulation, metabolism, recovery time, and general physiological response between an elite, young athlete and one who is not. Might these factors have an impact on POIS?
