Do any of you guys have Visual Snow as a symptom? It's kind of like seeing static and spots in your visual field. I especially notice it when I look at a single color or things far away like the sky. It also comes and goes, so sometimes I don't notice it at all. I'm wondering if its an issue with the eyes or brain.

Bubbly urine is another odd symptom I have and can point it to anything since my kidney and liver function have tested normal. Does anyone else have this?

Akt1 - I saw that you take GABA and thought I'd mention the author of the book "Why Isn't My Brain Working" said GABA cannot cross the blood brain barrier. The book said to use it as a test since you will only feel a relaxing effect from it if your blood brain barrier is compromised. If you do feel an effect try taking krill oil. Also, it looks like you've been on this forum for a year or so. Are you still 100% free of POIS from ginger and your supplements?

My view is it is a psychosomatic response. I would guess because of your upbringing, you are experiecing the symptoms. Do you have guilt feelings associated with an orgasm? just to let you know, it is not a sin or moral defect to feel pleasure during an orgasm.

Hi Taked,

Ginger has been a bit sketchy. It sometimes works, sometimes not. Maybe its gingerTEA that gives the best effects.
I do not know. I practice nofap, and I actually do enjoy the spiritual insights, the ackumulated presence/dedication. I feel genuine as when i was a kid, grounded. I will check out vitamin D, thanks man. Maybe its thyroid-related? The thyroid gets damaged from stress, and healed by vitamin d? Its tricky. From taking 10 000 iu two days in a row however, my mood and energy has definitely improved. I also feel calmer I believe.

Regards,
Akt1

It's been over 3 months, and I want to followup and report that Ginger still works for me. 

My protocol for using it has never changed.  I simply take 2 ginger pills immediately before or after an O.  As a result, most times the next day I can't tell that I had an O.  For best results, I limit my Os to 1-2x a week.  If I have too many my body will weaken and I'll get some of the symptoms, but still not all of them.

It's clear that Ginger doesn't work for everyone.  By that same token, niacin never worked for me and it worked for others. 

Best part about it is how simple it is.  A large bottle of Nature's Way (which I use) is under $10.  And there's no discomfort by taking 2 pills.  And you can even take it right after the O.  Could not be easier.

I would also like to contribute with the fact that ginger does help me.
I take 3 capsules of natures way, before 3 oŽs.
If I only have one O i might get pois though. Maybe i need to "flush" the ginger through my system.
Ginger has been used as a medicine for centuries and in ayurveda.
Dont know the exact mechanism, but i feel almost totally normal after O if I use it. Even the days after.
Which is remarkable.

Best regards,
Peace out,

Yup - that's the same one I take.  Glad youve also found success w it.

I just know that there's such a syndrome like this

[akt1]

Another possible cure here.
I take HEMP...
Rich in CBD (cannabidiol) - which is antiinflammatory and calming. Also affects prolactin i think.

I can feel the "pulse", the bad "attack" that occurs for me 1 hour after O - but it does not destroy me...
it just passes without discomfort...

I eat raw and decarboxylated hemp, and i also drink it in tea.
It is legal in all of EU.

[akt1]

I was thinking...

If Ginger works for some people - ginger is antiinflammatory and fixes gut problems.
Wouldnšt then probiotics be beneficial against pois?

Has anyone tried sauerkraut? (which is antiinflammatory and full of probiotics...)

Vitamin B is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Deficiency of vitamin B6, B1, and B12 causes numbness and paresthesia.

This is a puzzle, i need to fix this.
Has anyone tried a prebiotic (such as bimuno), and a probiotic to fix the gut...?
Gut issues can affect cortisol, dopamine, serotonin, anxiety, inflammation.

Hi,

If methylation might be related to pois - could it then all be related to mthfr-mutation?

The mthfr gene..
Can mehylfolate and methylcobalamin work?

[akt1]

Ok, update if anyone needs some extra info.

I suspect that this thing originates from the gut.
Ive tried prebiotics and probiotics for a couple of weeks - they did not work for me.

What does work, and eliminates pois probably completely, is a good cup of ginger and hemp tea.
Both are potent antiinflammatory supplements. Ginger and hemp tea tastes well i think, and is probably very good for the body. I take decarbed (baked) hemp, and raw hemp. By using this combo i feel happy and relieved after O, the pois madness does not hit me.

Next thing i will try is L-glutamine to heal the gut/the stomach lining... maybe there is some inflammation originating from there?

But as for now... a good cup of ginger and hemp tea before O, and everything is well.

peace

It's been more than 5 years since I came here, just one advice for all.Have a gap of few days between orgasms at least 2 and take vitamin d supplements for a couple of days every few months.

I wonder if there's still someone around here. 2-3 years ago, an obsession that I think is now POIS has darkened my life and continues to darken. I don't know if it's POIS symptoms or my obsession. I can't masturbate. Because I'm obsessed with masturbation, I believe that masturbation is destroying my mental abilities. After masturbation, my whole personality, my mind is officially disappearing. I have no pleasure in life. My brain is like an empty room,I am isolated from life and I feel guilty enough to commit suicide, I am depressed. Because masturbation is damaging my mind, masturbation is destroying my cognitive abilities. I believe ı  cannot turn into an old cognitive mood  This anxiety lasts 2-3 weeks and during this time I feel like a fool. It's like a single neuron doesn't work in my brain. Focus problems, lack of attention, memory problems, blurred mind and more. During this time, I live in a dream world. fre I feel like they're nailing my brain. I'm totally freaking out. I feel like it's going to last forever. Such thoughts and feelings are the same as POIS symptoms, all of the cognitive symptoms of POIS are present and more severe. But I do not experience any muscle pain, low back pain, or any physical disorder. For a long time I thought it was because I was obsessed with masturbation that hurts my brain. I'm not exactly sure about that right now.

sorry for bad english
