Quote from: GoingCrazy on 09/10/2011 01:10:39I've recently been experimenting with melatonin, the chemical your brain naturally produces to help you fall asleep, and have had surprisingly good results.http://www.walmart.com/ip/Natrol-Melatonin-Fast-Dissolve-Flavor-5-Mg-Tablets-Dietary-Supplement-90-Ct/15136704^ the product I am usingAfter O'ing three times the previous night, I took just one pill of melatonin and had some deeply restful sleep. Usually I have nightmares on day 0 of POIS. Funny my last dream I had in POIS some guy was telling me that I should O 3 times per 2 weeks. Lol really weird. But today I could say I really haven't been in a better mood. Very productive at work (I work saturdays, college student). Also, I can say that I recently took two lexapro over two days that were prescribed to me a while ago by my doctor. All I can say is that didn't work at all and did not help sleep. This is definitely not depression. I thought it would help me sleep because I had good experience with nutmeg (not recommended and potentially harmful) known for it's "antidepressant" affects and help with sleep, I wouldn't be surprised if my post is edited for just bringing that up.GoingCrazy, have you tried taking it before having an O?Have you tried melatonin more than once?I find it interesting, because when i'm under Pois, i lose the "sleepy feeling" i should feel at night. I mean, under Pois i always feel tired, but i don't feel that -sometimes pleasant- sleepy feeling at nights. So, does melatonin help you to recover that feeling? Or does it just help sleeping better?thx

Why certain things like caffeine...help me?
I think, dear friends, POIS [is] ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK by allergic reaction to own semen. It is enough to look at symptoms - they are very similar. At us in Russia is a lot of patients POIS. Thanks for attention!
Alexander is an active participant of russian Syndrom X blog. Recently he wrote a post where he explains that there are huge similarities in symptoms of POIS and Anaphylactic Shock. He also mentions that his mother had an allergic reaction to the sperm of his father.The post of Alexander in russian is located here:http://syndrom-x.blogspot.com/2011/10/blog-post.htmlVictor
POIS being anaphylactic shock is an interesting idea. I wonder if anyone with POIS has tried epinephrine after an orgasm to see if it lessens symptoms since epinephrine is given to people in anaphylactic shock.EDIT- I did an advanced google search for "epinephrine" in this forum and found a lot of discussion about epinephrine levels in the body possibly triggering POIS or being involved in some way, but I found nothing about anyone taking epinephrine in an effort to reduce symptoms.
I just hope that by the time I have kids of my own, This ilness will be cured, I always wondered if this would affect your ability to have kids. Hm.

POIS is not anaphylactic shock. Good way to [You can] precipitate a hypertensive or cardiac episode if you take epinephrine and don't need it. Anaphylactic shock is usually fatal if not treated in time. People who are allergic to bee stings carry an epi-pen around with them [epinephrine]. If they're stung and don't get treatment, they could die. If POIS was anaphylactic shock, there wouldn't be too many of you left!!!

Demografx, thanks for a greeting and for the helpful information. I will keep you informed if there will be an advancement in treatment. One more my idea why so it is a lot of cases POIS (at your forum 10000 persons and at us not less than 100) in that as cases the ALLERGY TO A SEMEN of the concrete partner among women too are registered much enough and MY MOTHER had an allergy to a semen of my father, which was probably descended to me - with that difference that at me an allergy to my semen. Thanks for attention friends!

I can't wait to get my hands on some solid NORD Research to shed more serious light on this pathetic routine of ours called POIS!
Hi, I am an Australian medical researcher turned medical journalist with ABC TV and I am doing a documentary about sex/sexual function etc. I am interviewing Dr Waldinger in the Netherlands about POIS and would like someone to talk about their experience with the condition. Is that something you would be interested in? If not, do you know anyone who would be willing to be a part of our science documentary exploring the condition & treatments? Are you based in Europe?Dr Maryanne DemasiProducer/ReporterABC TV Australiademasi.maryanne@abc.net.au
I believe and I hope that POIS is a lot simpler than what we make of it, at least my pois. Why certain things like caffeine and nutmeg help me? Possible over-inflammation? I hope so. Sounds a lot better than a sperm allergy.

Possible over-inflammation? I hope so. Sounds a lot better than a sperm allergy. I agree that inflammation probably causes most of our symptoms, however I now believe (as many of us here have) this inflammation stems from an allergic reaction to our sperm and semen. This theory makes more sense to me now that all the things that I take to reduce my POIS symptoms are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties.I drink green tea to reduce my symptoms, but I take fenugreek with it and believe the tea merely enhances the effect of the fenugreek somehow. Perhaps some of the benefit comes from the caffeine, but I used to drink green tea by itself with almost no noticeable effect on my symptoms.
By the way everyone, thanks to this forum I've been feeling pretty good for the past few months. And today with the help of fenugreek, saw palmetto, and a few other things I felt good enough to apply for a couple jobs for the first time since I developed POIS. I've always believed this forum would save my life and today it may have done just that. I'm still not cured, but I'm far better off than I was before. Thank you everyone.
I honestly think the key to decreasing the amount of Pois or for some people getting rid of it may be O'ing more than once, It seemed to have dramatically helped me and a few other guys on here said it has helped them too.
