Again, I am pleased that after so many years you have found your successful treatment. I assume that after your mild symptoms have faded, you feel clear-headed, motivated, and energetic?
I dream of that [POIS-free] day, and I'm sure it will come sooner or later.
Would you recommend this, Demografx? [Total and Free Testosterone testing].
Demografx, thanks very much for your guidance. It certainly is frustrating that MD's, who are certainly very clever, are unable to appreciate a concept such as POIS. I intend to arrange for a Testosterone test.
I am aware that over-stimulation from such substances [caffeine/sugar] causes "Adrenal Exhaustion", which depletes hormones such as Testosterone.
Did the test in-pois feeling hellish.
My MD was thinking about testosterone shortage as well. And then he also sent me for tests on adrenals, thyroid. I don't know the truth about the human body either, Ambient. The only advice I can give is to find a good doc and get tested! Anyway, I am glad I got tested this week. Did the test in-pois feeling hellish. Results in less than 2 months. Will report back here.
Yes indeed Martin, i am now running with the Adrenal Exhaustion theory. The biggest clue for me is the complete similarity between my POIS symptoms and those of Over-stimulation and the rebound after the caffeine wears off.The fact is, all signs point to it, and i intend to follow it up.May i ask you to share your experiences of Sugar and Caffeine excess? They may prove very helpful to meAlso, have you tested for Adrenal Insufficiency?
