--------I'm investigating on the reasons of why we developed such problems with hystamine production or whatever it is..did anyone had prolonged dehydration due to climate or severe exercise stresses?There're several sportsmen here (including me in past) and daily I lost about 3-4 litres of water per training. Of course I always replenished myself but probably it was insufficient...Coffee is a diuretic and few people (John21) mentioned that they got some positive effect from taking it or herbs with diuretic features.
Defsync --It's sad that you cannot wholeheartedly support your comrade in his willingness to have gone public via the TLC program. You've attempted to diminish someone who had the personal fortitude that you, yourself, did not have when the opportunity was apparently presented to you. The TLC channel will not be interested in another POIS story. They've covered the topic already, thanks to Animus and his courage!!As an aside -- the TLC channel and its producers/directors edit their shows to THEIR liking. NORD has worked with them closely on several episodes (we had nothing to do with the POIS episode -- I wish that I could say we did!). We know that they write their shows with tact and compassion, and provide only as much scientific information as they feel the general public will want. Like all TV shows -- they present what they think will appeal to the largest audience.Please -- everyone -- think about how your comments might make another person feel. It's difficult with all the frustration and misery that POIS causes -- but this is a support group -- you all need to boost each other up, not tear each other down.If a comment generates more heat than light -- then it's not the right comment.Quote from: Defsync on 10/12/2011 12:08:27the learning channelso I was the first person asked for this episode.

Im considering calling TLC and asking them if they have another opportunity available.raping your own brain via nocturnal emissions that you and 99% of the male population cant control, is a more poignant observation of the severity of this condition

Before I got POIS I ran track and cross country in high school and I remember sweating way more than anyone else. My shirt would always be completely soaked and after practices I would usually go home and play videogames which I always get easily addicted to so in the midst of my videogame addiction it's possible that I ignored my body's need for water.

I'm confused. I have always thought high histamine was a problem in allergic reactions. Many of us including myself believe that POIS is caused by an allergic or auto-immune reaction to some component of our semen. I've found that Claritin and Benadryl, both anti-histamines, relieve the majority of my POIS symptoms when taken about an hour before an orgasm.Thanks Vincent Marcus and BJim for your commentsI may try Clarytin or Benadryl if the current approach I have started since joining this forum doesn't work. I tried Clarytin a couple of years ago for pollen allergy and it relieved all the nasal and sinus symptoms but the brain fog that i get with pollen allergy and drowsiness persisted.Since 5 days ago i have taken 3 X 610mg Fenugreek daily along with 100mg of Niacin daily in the morning which causes a flush. I have taken Niacin periodically over the years for pollen allergy and it did seem to make a positive difference. I have taken 15mg Zinc daily for quite a long time as it has noticeably shortened the recovery period from POIS.It may well be too early to assess the effects of the Fenugreek and regular Niacin but I had an O last night and have to say I felt the worst POIS symptoms today than i have for a while, especially the brain fog and poor memory. Could this be because i took the Niacin half an hour AFTER the O rather than before? I'm going to persevere with the Niacin but intend to take it half an hour BEFORE and see what happens.On a more general note I am relieved to have found people who understand this debilitating condition. I get really fed up with it, for years having to schedule my life around "O" days - nothing important that requires a sharp mind or physical energy the day after or even two days after in some cases. I usually need a week to recover, there are times when the self discipline required for this is too much and I go for it twice or more a week but this means i spend life in a pretty foggy condition and know that my work suffers and my mood is generally negative.Meeting others through this forum helps me feel less weird so thanks for all the experiences and knowledge people have shared Yes, it is VITAL that the niacin is taken before the orgasm! Hopefully with a flush. I have had results without a flush, but to a lesser degree. Day 1 and 2 are always cleared, but without the flush, days 3 to 5 can appear and/or be worse.I previously had 9 day sessions. Now, wit flush, maybe half a day! And NO cognitive symptoms or NO day 1 - 2 POIS yuck!

PS- feel free to PM me if you have any questions/ comments- I am open to discuss or explain my surgeries further... thanks
let's make a poll about the worst possible profession for POIS-sufferer porn-actor must win without a decent rival, i suppose
Quote from: gabin on 20/12/2011 09:49:32let's make a poll about the worst possible profession for POIS-sufferer porn-actor must win without a decent rival, i suppose how about air traffic control or brain surgery?I found this article about prostoglandin and serotonin release with Niacin. http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/327/3/665.long Its not an easy read!

It downgrades you to the the level of partly diabled person, while the environment and expectations of people around you remain the same...
Hi Guys. I hope all is well. Yesterday I became thoroughly convinced that this is an allergic reaction. Please let me explain. I was in bed fantasizing and expectedly became sexually aroused. I did not even attempt to masturbate and did not ejaculate. I then went to urinate, and afterwards while squeezing out the last drops, I began squeezing out semen. I did it a couple of times, and the amounts were about 4 cm in circumference. The symptoms began soon after. Now I'm in full POIS, without ejaculating. Interestingly, the semen must have been in my urethra, but only when I squeezed it out, that is, it emitted and exposed, did I begin feeling the symptoms. I looked up excessive histamine levels and found this:"When released from basophils and tissue mast cells, the biological effects of histamine include increased vascular permeability of small venules; contraction of bronchial and other smooth muscle; increased gastric, nasal, and lacrimal secretions. A function not normally associated with histamine is the role of neurotransmitter in the brain.1,2 Elevated histamine levels may also be related to certain forms of headache and schizophrenia.3,4,5 A list of the characteristics of patients with low or high blood histamine levels are shown in Table 1 (p.237)." Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, 1998http://www.orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1998/articles/1998-v13n04-p236.shtmlI'm having an MRI tomorrow to check if there are adenomas, but I think I'm more convinced than ever that this is indeed a severe allergic response. What do you guys think?Happy Holidays!
