I think so, perhaps it would be great to make a link between this and POIS sperm allergy for some trials.The researchers that study the birth control pill for men, are from New York. They tested it on mice and are now ready for trials on humans? Any volunteers?Link to the original articles:http://www.bitsofscience.org/birth-control-pill-men-1571/#more-1571http://endo.endojournals.org/content/152/6/2492Address all correspondence and requests for reprints to (she is also a co-author of the article): Debra J.

you mean we can ask to get involved in the study ?

When the international credit card option is available on NORD, I will donate $ 1,000.
Hi Everyone,I'd like to share results from the seminal plasma hypersensativity test Dr. Bernstein preformed on my samples. According to his tests, no IgE mediated reaction to PSA (the major seminal plasma allergen) was found - meaning the test was negative. He provided test results in graph presentation form that displayed what a positive reaction looks like, what a negative control group reaction looks like, and what my reactions looked like.This may come as a disappointment to many as it did me. However, there were several outlier reactions, different than the major seminal plasma allergen that Dr. Bernstein tests for, that appeared in the graphs. Dr. Bernstein noted them and attributed them to as an anomaly. However, I feel these reactions indeed be the root cause we've been researching.A different but related point. I know that I'm allergic to gluten. Everytime I eat it I get headaches, experience heat sensativities, brain fog and concentration difficulties, muscle weakness... Last year I visted the allergist to be tested for gluten allergies. She preformed a skin-***** test and concluded that the test results were negative because the reaction to gluten was only minor.I feel that my outlier reactions in Dr. Bernstein's test results show that I'm hypersensative to something in semen (even if it's not the 'major seminal plasma allergen'). I plan on following up with these test results.
Limejuice, thank you for sharing all your important work!!
I get really annoyed by how when a test is normal (in regards to POIS), a physician acts as if this has conclusively proven that there is no reason for the symptoms. And if a test is abnormal, then it is just explained away as insignificant. What does it take to convince them that there is indeed a problem?

Almost ALL rare diseases get the same reaction. Unfortunately.
