CC, nordnurse, that concerns me: I feel like running away fast whenever I hear anything remotely close to "POIS? Oh, sure: It's all in your head!". That stupid and damaging POIS "appraisal" by too many medical professionals and laypersons alike needs to be destroyed. By us.
After watching the extended interviews with Dr. Goldmeier and Agnes Kocsis -- in my opinion, they gave VERY 'psychologized' assessments of what POIS is. The picture that comes across from those interviews is: these are 'highly anxious' people who then have 'psychosomatic' symptoms and 'attribute' it to ejaculation. The interviewer asks "So this is not something that would show up in a medical test?" and Dr. Goldmeier say that that's correct, it wouldn't show up in a medical test -- with the implication that this is because it is psychological.I don't want to make an assessment of whether this is what they intended to convey, but that's sure what comes across pretty darn clearly!
I've read that sulbutiamine has a similar effect to caffeine without the side effects. I have not yet tried it, but intend to do so.
.Stress increases the symptoms of allergies. So, stress increases Pois..Stress increases the cortisol levels and so has a negative effect on testosterone and other hormones levels. Not more.I found Victor very cool in the video with an excellent self-control.

Also,yes great job Victor,I saw the video,you did a great job and you have a lot more courage than I to show yourself on camera and talk about a very embarrassing condition.You have my greatest respect!
True, stress does increase inflammation(allergies)and cortisol.It also makes Pois worse,but as I said in my opinion (or hypothesis) a stressor which could be from an illness, is the (possibly) initial trigger for the body to create a negative response after having an O.

She thought I was having a slight burnout and I would recover from it within a few months. So I was living those 3 years with so much stress and pressure, cause I did not know I had Pfeiffer's disease and everyone thought it was all inside my head.
