John21 mentioned two forum formats for our unified parallel site, Simple Machines Forums(SMF) like this one or phpBB. Would I assume you'd all prefer the SMF format, like this one?I have to evaluate both in terms of capabilities to do what is desired, but I expect that both fullfill the expectations.Comments?
When's the TLC show going to go on the air?

I'm sorry but what is the advantage of a new separate forum?I'm just coming in to this, so I don't know much about it... If we have a second forum- will we have to check in to 2 separate sites? Won't we have to repeat a lot of information? I don't see what is lacking in the current forum that requires a new one. Also, I think it helps to have us all in one place. If we split into 2 groups it would be not so good. Maybe I don't understand, but I think we should stay as a single group. Call me conservative!, but I'm averse to changing a good thing! I like the Naked Scientist!
I'm currently taking braggs apple cider vinegar with the mother (ingredients in the bottle) , just started it today and feel good. The updates will come. Also, I don't know if I have said this in the past but I've been doing handstands, whenever I have this POIS "headache" in the back of my head, and it actually relieves it for quite a while. Somebody try doing a handstand for a minute 5 times during the course of an hour and tell me how they feel. It's weird for me because I get that "brain foggy" feeling in the front of my head during the handstand... But I don't know, I feel pretty good now after vinegar and handstands. Vinegars going to be my new cranberry juice. I haven't had a headache after I drank the ACV, but I'll still update when I have an "O".BTW I do recommend the vinegar, not just for POIS, but for general good health. http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/fruits/appcider.htm

I like the Naked Scientist! I think we all like it here, but maybe it could be even better. Imagine that we have a separate website using the same or similar software to what you see here, so on the main page you would have a list of separate threads, as this POIS thread is one among many in New Theories on this site. Our discussions would look the same but would not be interspersed with different conversations, making it easier to follow each one. As the traffic increases this will become even more necessary. How does that idea sound?

How does that idea sound?Like if you go to http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/ which is the Home page of our thread, you see categories, and boards within the categories and then threads within the boards (that's the level of our thread) and then posts within the threads.So we can create broad categories: Auto-Immune, Hormone Chain, Treatment Services, etc. etc and each of those categories can have complete boards of specialized areas within the category etc. etc.I will create a POIS Center Web that quickly links to the two main forums. The POIS Center will also have links to databases with organized and searchable information, where we can also add information. Will also have links to FAQs, News, etc. etc.
Another benefit of starting a new forum is to (hopefully) get the NSF out of the domain name. When contacting doctors and medical professionals I am always hesitant to include the link to this forum because the name of the website is so strange: "Hi Dr. X, You've never met me before, but let me tell you about this debilitating condition that you've probably heard very little about. It involves ejaculation and orgasm. There's a wealth of information online on our website, which is totally credible, legitimate, and professional: The Naked Scientist." []

I used to swim about 4 hrs per day after school. They had an Olympic size pool where I lived.Anyways, I found out that going down to 20 ft below the water, my headaches went away!! The pressure seemed to remove them. Obviously a short lived solution!! As soon as I came back to the surface, the headache came back.But to this day, I can relieve my headaches applying pressure on the skull with my hands. And only for the duration of the pressure.I'm thinking that the pressure of being upside down might also contribute.BTW, would ANY vinegar work?

I hate it every time I'm symptomatic they think I am just making it up and I end up screaming at them every single time.

[]It would be nice to include a link (to TLC? To you?) in the Newcomer's Welcome Message after the US air date in May, so that every POIS sufferer (and medical researcher!) gets a chance to see it?
GoingCrazy, print out ALL the POIS info we have, make a nice binder, with a label in the middle: Prepared Lovingly For Mom and Dad ***PLEASE***READ! Even if they PEEK at it, you'll be ahead of the game!
