Also, just to clarify, is excessive cortisol a possible cause of POIS?
Thanks for clearing that up, Counterpoints.However, i always believed that orgasms were supposed to reduce cortisol levelsIs this not the case?
I see, so for all i know, a pituitary tumor or problem could be causing my POIS?It's interesting, because my main POIS symptoms are cognitive. Plus, after orgasm, i do feel more...how shall i put it...Stressed. Hyper, and unable to focus on things. After orgasm i feel like i am in some kind of rush.Do you currently have an Endocrinologist? Because i wouldn't mind seeing one and getting that checked.
Hey Demografx,Just to ask, how did you set up an appointment with an Endocrinologist? Just wondering as i wish to arrange one for myselfThanksAmbient
I have posted an extract of " A hypotetical explanation of panic disorder" (german journal of psychiatry,2001). During panick attacks, body converts steroids (DHEA) to cortisol. Priority for body is to keep cortisol to normal level.
1. How long do you have to follow the prescriptions? If you cease the treatment will the symptoms reappear?
2. What is the specific dosage for the levitra+testosterone combo? How long do you have to take it for? What are some of the side effects? Will this not increase your want for sex or increase the frequency of wetdreams?
QuoteI can't understand why some other pois sufferers don't have this deficiency shown in blood tests. It would be so much more simple like that! Maybe low androgen receptors, Martin and Demo,It seems to me too that testosterone absorbtion can be the culprit, even if it does not show up in low levels of free testosterone in the blood. As Martin mentioned, there may be a deficit in androgen receptors. If that were the case, we should probably still observe symptoms that are similar to hypogonadism, right? Question is, what test would be available to identify this problem of low androgen receptors?
