He believes that neurotransmitter testing is a great idea, but that the testing methods today are unreliable.It depends on the method.... if we use the same fancy techniques pharmaceutical companies use to assess the efficacy of antidepressants, involving functional imaging, then that would probably work well. Of course, this wouldn't be a typical test a physician would just order at a lab.[Emphasis mine - demo]

It's not a infection, it's just a overgrowth in the intestine, check your stool for candida overgrowth.
Quote from: goingcrazy on 12/07/2009 16:32:45I'm on day 19 of my year of celibacy.GC, can I just make a suggestion? I have set goals like longterm celibacy, and then found crushing disappointment when I couldn't reach those goals. Which "wipes out" the real accomplishments made in that time, in my case 3 months. The "failure" prevents me from taking the next step, it just seems too paralyzing.I've heard about this disappointment and its effects frequently from others. Which is why slogans like "one day at a time" exist.Maybe a more modest goal, followed by another might be less devastating and less pressure to be "Superman"?, e.g., 3 months, then another 3 months, then another 3 months. Your body is used to a completely different rhythm, and the sex drive is mighty powerful!But in any case, congratulations and maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can handle it just the way you're doing it!

Hello, I've been doing alot of research on this for my friend and I believe alot of this is associated with neurotransmitter deficiencies. http://www.powersupplements.com/craniyums-neuro.htmlHas anyone tried craniyums or 5-hpt? You can do a test to see if you're deficient in neurotransmitter and try some. Please post if you have any results. I highly think this might be a cure but my friend won't take anything that treats insomnia, depression etc. He only takes vitamins and fish oil and thinks he can cure it by eating healthy and working out which obviously isn't working because research says that eating healthy can only do little to increase your neurotransmitters(though it really does help). http://www.powersupplements.com/craniyums-test2.pdfTo see how to balance neurotransmitters take a look here. http://www.powersupplements.com/craniyums-less3.htmlIf anyone has tried craniyums and if it has helped please reply. Also it says low magnesium can lead to decreased neurotransmitters so vitamin B-50 or B-100 complex, vitamin C 500 mg. - 1000 mg., calcium 1000 mg. and magnesium 500 mg supplments are recommended. These all help in balancing neurotransmitters.Can someone please try this and tell me if it works? If it works it might be better than using the other recommended treatmetns of t-patches, antidepressants, relora, etc.
I wonder how many of the readers and contributors to that [POIS] thread go there because they have actually suffered and how many go there because the word "orgasm" is in the title?It just seems to go round and round in circles - much like the Moon Landing Conspiracy threads.

If orgasm and coffee brought me into this, maybe celibacy, diet and exercise can get me out.

Quote from: Karen W. on 15/07/2009 01:38:37I think the thread is a good thing! I do not think just having the word orgasmic in it causes any problems. We are adults here in an adult forum and we can use the English language in its intended usage without it being vulgar or attracting the wrong crowds. Frankly I had no idea people suffered from this illness and I have found it very informative and think it is a subject which needs a voice like it gets here, in the hopes if for no other reason but to let others suffering know that they are not alone in their sufferings! I WISH DEMO AND THE WHOLE THREAD THE BEST AND AM SYMPATHETIC TO THE PROBLEMS AND HURDLES THEY HAVE TO OVERCOME TO REGAIN A NORMAL SEX LIFE ! I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST!Karen, thank you so much for your kind words!The word "orgasmic" is part of the official syndrome labeled in the first study ever of this malady in 2002 by two internationally published Dutch physicians, Dr. Marcel Waldinger, a neuropsychiatrist, and Dr. Dave Schwartz, an endocrinologist, called "Postorgasmic Illness Syndrome".And Karen, you accurately pinpointed one of the prized treasures of the thread: the instant recognition of newcomers who find new partners to help solve this vicious riddle, after many lonely years, if not decades, of suffering in silence. POIS is a rare malady and tremendously misunderstood by the medical community worldwide. Almost all sufferers have experienced severe rejection because of this. We are very grateful to have the opportunity afforded by Naked Science Forum to help each other find a cure.

Also, those who have been dedicated have found solutions.
Demo, you were never sensative to carbs yet your drastic improvement came from hormone suppliments.
