New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)

According to the following article from NINDS.NIH.GOV,
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/pml/pml.htm
"Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is caused by the reactivation of a common virus in the central nervous system of immune-compromised individuals. Polyomavirus JC"
"Typical symptoms associated with PML are diverse, since they are related to the location and amount of damage in the brain, and evolve over the course of several days to several weeks."
What if you substitute pois for "PML" or at least consider some possible connections?
What if during "O" pois sufferers immune defenses are somehow weakened or attacked?
Maybe for less immune compromised individuals the virus can be deactivated more easily than what is suggested in the article, which is about very/consistently immune compromised individuals.
Maybe loss of myelin around nerve fibers is less noticeable when on gabapentin.
In the article, treatment suggested for PML is "reversal of the immune-deficient state". One way suggested for doing this is "anti-retroviral therapy".
Has anyone discussed "anti-retroviral therapy" with their DOC, or the best ways to strengthen their immune system?
I like the concept of strengthening the immune system through LDN therapy. Best of luck Lauracostis! [^]
