Vandemolen3, Are you also taking niacin as a preventive measure or any other remedies during this desensitization process.
Vandemolen3 -- welcome back! It's really good to see you once again on the forum.And it's great to hear about your progress. Who's your doctor (who is the physician giving you the injections)? What's his name?Stef
Hi all,I've watched the youtube documentary about the guy who had Pois and undergone a surgery. That indicates the problem is coming from the testicles and/or prostate at the moment (or following) the orgasm. Anyway, one of my main symptoms, besides the scalp tenderness and mental confusion, is the stomach issue. I think there is some issue with the stomach, which also causes dehydration. It is impressive that just some seconds/minutes following an orgasm, i can feel my hands getting extremely dry. Is this normal? Could you ask to some non-Pois sufferer if their hands get very dry after having sex? I also can see my facial skin flushing after having an orgasm (i think this is normal), but afterwards, it gets very dry (this may not be so normal). Maybe is the blood leaving the skin? But it also could be that Pois does harm to the stomach, and the stomach is the organ which hydrates the body.
They asked me not to mention the name of the doctor who does the injections. Because this doctor is very busy.
All I can say is that I feel much better since I started taking the niacin and the ZMA. There are 2 other factors I can think of. 1) I never have more than 1 O a week anymore. Too much hassle and I rarely get NE's so that's not a problem for me.
Merry Christmas!Regarding Niacin and ZMA it can be a complementary effect. An other property of high doses of niacin is to significantly reduce phosphate absorption. I think too much phosphate is causing mineral deficiencies. I don't know if it's related to the niacin success but worth mentioning. There's even a website http://www.phosadd.com saying ADHD is caused by phosphate intoxication but I couldn't find a lot of evidences.

Who's your doctor (who is the physician giving you the injections)? What's his name?StefI am a patient of dr. Waldinger. They asked me not to mention the name of the doctor who does the injections. Because this doctor is very busy. He has 1 POIS-patient every day. But as I said before: I hope that within a few months there will be several hospitals in The Netherlands where they do the desensitization. And then all the Dutch POIS-patients and maybe also a few from abroad can have the injections.
Merry Christmas!
I have had some success with Niacin although having a rash or a red face can be awkward to explain before sex.I have some observations of my own.I have had gastro issues as far as I can remember. Stomach cramping, strange stomach noises, anxiety where the physical symptoms stem from the stomach.I have always believed this is where the issue lyes. Stomach problems get worse after ejaculation. I also notice my breath feels stale after as well. In fact if I have sex without ejaculation i can still feel a rush to my stomach that seems to to travel down from my throat.I have been to some the best hospitals in the UK and the one I am seeing at the moment has discovered I have an unusual level of parasites in my stomach. These are blasto hominis and helicobacter pylori.A theory is that these parasites can prevent the proper absorption of vitamins and minerals the body. I can confirm I am very low on zinc and vitamins B6, B1 and B2. Being low on these can cause such complicated array of symptoms that it can quite easily send someone down the wrong path trying to chase a symptom rather than the cause.When we ejaculate, does the body not have to use vital vitamins, minerals, amino acids to replace what is lost? What if we are already low on these things? does this drive us further into deficit? The time taking for POIS symptoms to disappear, is this not the time taken to replenish and rebalance?There is also the question of the effect it has on our hormones and what what must be an already compromised immune system. Surely ejaculation is putting the body under stress where the system is already failing and then needs to replenish, restore and rebalance.

Yes, this all sounds very plausible Questforlife. A high amount of helicobacter pylori isn't something you'd want for all kinds of reasons. Have you had ulcers?Can you let me know which hospital you're going to in the UK and the name of the test you got? I'd be interested in getting the same thing done. There's little doubt in my mind that much of this is down to mineral and vitamin deficiencies and that aggressively replenishing them post O seems to have an effect. Symptoms are reduced by having a surplus of various minerals in the body to avoid the deficit state. That's my experience anyway. Unfortunately when I went to the gastroenterologist he didn't really give me much clue as to how to rectify the flattened villi problem. He wasn't convinced it was gluten but recommended I try a gluten free diet, this had no effect except to cost more money and not taste very nice What have you been recommended to control the bacteria in your gut?
There is no doubt that zinc supplements have hastened the recovery period from pois but hasn't prevented it. The best results have come from recent use of niacin. Hope everyone had happy holidays.
Another interesting post I found in relation to POIS, or perhaps what some might be calling the sex 'hangover'It in relation to high Prolactin which can cause alot of the symptoms described on this forum. Also there is a still a link here what I was writing about earlier with mineral, vitamin deficiencies or imablances. Certain vitamins B6 (P5P) zinc, vitamin C have been reported to decrease levels of Prolactin according to other sites Read about it yourself http://www.reuniting.info/science/prolactin_sex_libidoI dont wish to go off track, but im wondering if there is a link between all of these symptoms and other named disorders. Its so important we look for the root of the problem and only use symptoms to find patterns.
