I'm back after a long and non-POIS related illness.
Hello everyone:welcome sadandfrustrated,
I have been a silent observer of this forum for the past 4 or 5 years.
I am 18 to 22 years old and have greatly suffered from all the symptoms that you do as well.
Right now, I'm in a very dark place. So, I've decided to finally join the forum and ask for your help.
I noticed that Glodulev? and Nathan had both found solutions that have worked so far.
Would it be possible to ask for a hard guideline on how I would go about curing myself like they did?
I have tried Niacin, Benadryll and the other treatments to no avail.
Please help. I feel like my life is a waste and that there is no future for me. I just want to escape from his living hell. Sometimes, I feel like there's no point in living on..... :-'( :-'(
you've been a silent reader for a long time - way, way longer than i have.
it's great that you're posting. so about herman and nathan's solutions, i'll leave those q's for someone like b_daniel who likely has more knowledge about those two solutions than i do. but again, welcome and hopefully you'll find something that works well for you.
I am being very brief with the explaining of my issue as it is very deep because I don't want to flood the page with myself. It would take some explaining to fully get someone to understand where I am at.
WHY dont you solve my problem golbudev? yes there are not many tests availble in pakistan,but there must be some way
Out of the people that have tested their cerruloplasm that I know of, the vast majority had values within 1 or 2 points of the bottom of the normal range. It's too common amongst us to be coincidental. If you're getting new testing done and haven't had that value checked, I'd get it done. The cerruloplasm link is something we should be thinking about.
Yes Daniel, add myself to the list
Ceruloplasmin 20 [17 - 65]
I tend to believe it is because of adrenal weakness, leading to some kind of copper imbalance.
This is also confirmed by my
DHEA-S 85,60 mcg/ml [125-483]* for men of age 30-39
and there is a possible correlation between low DHEA and copper deficiency

Adrenals weakness doesn't sound like a cause of anything(apart secondary symtoms) ; not sure they get weak by themselves.Minerals, vitamins, amino acids, etc) are the building blocks.Too much or too few, no transported correctly...All that sounds like a possible root cause to me.
While I agree there will always be a root cause (or multiple ones) of the cause to be found and worked on, and that these are mainly labels to identify patterns...
I suggest you try to check with people with an adrenal burnout/fatigue/whatever history it's called for years how "secondary" their symptoms are and what impact they've had on their lives, well beyond POIS.
Adrenal function gets weak by constitution, prolonged stress, infections (especially chronic low-grade), toxicity, pushing and excessive lifestyle, prolonged impaired thyroid function to name few. Excluding Addison's which is autoimmune and is an extreme case.
Whatever you call it and the level you want to work for it, the symptoms are clear and vast and can be identified in a pattern.
I think that if one wants to solve POIS, paradoxically it's better to forget about POIS for awhile and look at all the other unbalanced things, and try to find a pattern. It's likely that while solving all the rest also POIS will go away in many cases.
Regardless of sex, and just aggravated by sex? Definite yes to all of them = adrenal dysfunction to some degree, and possibly related blood sugar issues.
You might want to take a salivar cortisol/DHEA test just to have a clue. Besides taking temps and blood pressure.
Good luck.
pretty much all the time, but it's aggravated following sex. also pois makes my blood sugar seem a little low sometimes
and thanks for the tips!
yep underactive adrenals (e.g. insufficient cortisol) are often associated to hypoglycemia/reactive hypoglycemia, which will become more evident after sex, overexercising etc... try avoid stimulants and sugar, and consume only moderate amounts of complex carbs, and see if that helps a bit.
The taste of beer, without any effect from alcohol itself, can trigger dopamine release in the brain, which is associated with drinking and other drugs of abuse, according to Indiana University School of Medicine researchers.
when i train extensively my sleep disappears totally, can be awake for days.
