Quote from: demografx on 28/10/2009 16:44:09An open post to hurray, EDS, and DefsyncThe three of you magnanimously pledged some financial support to studying POIS. Many thanks again, that was an incredibly wonderful gesture on your part!By pledging, you have done enormous good to the cause of curing POIS, giving us all renewed hope and confidence that we're on the right track.Just wondering lately, since the outside world of research is slow in rushing to our aid (we've been at this forum for 3 years now), how would you three feel about starting "somewhere". Anywhere. But Now! Using our own considerable resources?A few of us here think that a state-of-the-art SCAN of the brain, such as an fMRI, before, during and after orgasm, could reveal plenty.This advanced scanning (not generally available publicly) could give us deeper insight into the hormonal/neurotransmitter/brain-function data that we seem to be "just around the corner" from finding. I would be glad to be "team captain" with doctors, labs, etc., but not a good subject because of my testosterone/stimulant POIS treatment regimen.I posted this here, publicly, because the more input (from you as well as everyone else here at the forum) the better!What do you think? Judging from what I've seen around the interwebs on fMRI's of brains during orgasm, I'm not sure how well a tool it would be for zeroing in on POIS related structures/causes. I say this because it seems there are very different results from fMRI's of different "normal" people's orgasms, and it appears that doctor's aren't exactly sure yet why that is yet. I may also be biased since my doctor ordered a $18,000 MRI and EKG for my POIS and it showed nothing abnormal. Granted an fMRI shows bloodflow and oxygen level changes within structures of the brain, without a fram of reference or a "what exactly are we looking for" I'm not sure how this might work. I guess if someone did have a pretty good reason, and they were insured, convince their doctor to obtain one of these through insurance just like some of us have with regular MRIs?

pois sounds like the perfect subject for an Oprah/Dr. oz special.
i think he [Defsync] might be right about the fmri,if normal people have varying results, we might not have anything concrete to interpret the data with. i personally think that my brain would look normal during o anyways. somthing like taking a math test(on fmri or mri) before o, and after while in pois, would tell us a great deal about what areas are affected by cognitive dysfuntion. narrowing down what areas are effected by decreased brain activity is the first step in the right direction[. another step in the right direction would be to match a pois patient test agian the data from that study(prolactin/dopamine) where the people were hook up to a machine that automatical draws blood at givin intervals before, during, and after orgasm. in this case we would have solid data from that study that we could match our nuero/endocrine chemicals toward.[emphasis above mine - demo]

So whats everyones thoughts now on getting H1N1 shots?Some people saying people with FM and CFS could be at risk of it....Thoughts?PS.

H1N1vaccine?Squalene, one of the vaccine components, according to some critics, caused Gulf War 1 symptoms. Scary if true! Can anyone refute that?I'm staying away. My wife disagrees, thinks the benefit outweighs the risks.I'm fairly certain that my last flu shot a few years ago made me sick. My GP says it couldn't have. I'm ready to fire yet another GP! [/quote\even squalence is can cause gulfwar syndrome i dont think there is enough in it to match what solders experience in gulf war.
am on a roll here guys i have been trying to connect that two day high/hyperness/fantastic mental state/tremendous energy to immune system and i have found. Catecholamines are known to reduce inflammation response and reduce cytokines in body. It is a well known effect in the body. Catecholamines in excess in body are known to create that "high" effect, could these be how our body returns to normal on the seventh day. what do you guys think. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/120778223/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1666138/?page=1http://www.springerlink.com/content/u16j1143vh3x765v/fulltext.pdf

Even if squalene can cause gulfwar syndrome i dont think there is enough in it to match what solders experience in gulf war.
