QuoteB_Jim, isn't this what my endo is saying? He never said "only blood tests are scientific". He just believes saliva is inaccurate.Yes, that's true sorry. I feel a general reluctance about saliva test, not especially you endo. I will make both. Saliva test probably will be better next years.I have to say another Pois case (non-flulike) confirmed to me his bloodtests show a clear cortisol deficiency and his endocrino will give him hydrocortisone soon. He will keep me informed about the effect of hydrocortisone on his Pois symptoms. I have no doubt he will have a good improvement like Girlwind and Michael. Welcome Pantaloon. How your Cfs has been diagnotised ?

To Girlwind and Demo, may your good fortunes continue---Perseverence and positive momentum in pursuing successful therapies is critical.Let's hope that many approaches will now yield positive results. Might there may be a link between CFS and POIS? Might there be a link between "specific" male sexual issues and POIS? Might there be a link between GAD and POIS? Autoallergic issues or external ones? etc. etc. etc.At least there is one thing for sure; this forum has definitely provided important connections for people. And that is the most valuable thing.

Lately it seems POIS suffers are finding cures for their type of POIS (I won't list names because the list is long). This is great!!!However, it seems that a particular type of POIS, almost stictly cognitive, no one has had any success. This is the type that I have, which is similar to CounterPoints, John21, and CConfucius. Why is this?I'm currently taking 50mgs of synthetic thyriod hormone because my TSH was 6.0. I'm also beginning to feel the effects after 3 weeks of medication, but I'm concerned because it doesn't 'feel' like its curing POIS. I haven't released since taking the medication, so thats not my suspission of not working, but I'm still sensative to carbs, a light sleeper (sleeps gotten worst on the medication), and lack creativity (that I used to have) and social happiness when being around people. I feel boring and lifeless. Even while writing this post I feel emotionless.Is anyone seeing improvements who has cognitive POIS?
To state that someone's post is "scientifically untenable,"...
I don't believe POIS exists alone; the biochemical problems are already with us, they just manifest themselves overwhelmingly in POIS.
I have faith that if I can improve myself daily (without "O") and actually feel better and stronger and more alert, then I can take momentum with me to deal with POIS...I think Girlwind and Demo are good examples of this i.e. different approaches to multiple conditions leading to, hopefully, a resolution of POIS along with those other conditions.

Am going to say this about the argument on micheal, Micheal is not forcing anyone to do exactly what he did, however is actions are showing credibility. When both girlwind and demo are mentioning improvement by restoring balance the hormones that are out of whack. That is all micheal is suggesting to do, figure out where the balance is being tipped and bring that balance back to normal. The Fact that maybe some of his test were not scientific does not matter, He was probably forced to follow that route when The so called scientific world ignored and dismissed his problem as psychiatric problem.
