Happy holidays to ALL pois sufferers!
Double Thanks Demografx:For Your Holiday Wishesand for sharing your lab test processes--I hope your efforts lead to some insight into hormone reactions with respect to POIS, and whether there is a sequence of biochemical events that may shed light on how our symptoms manifest themselves. Also, I assume that some of us may just have a genetic predispositon to this "illness". But this certainly does not preclude finding ways to diminish or "cure" this ailment. Thank your for this Forum. It is very therapeutic in itself.
MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST'S LABWORK ORDERED FOR POIS-TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)I didn't want to push specific testing requests any further than this. I'm not the doctor.
I think Counterpoint mentioned that he gets it only 70% of the time. That is very, very interesting.

Demografx, I too have a grown son and was thinking about asking him if he has any POIS issues...It does seem a bit awkward. But I'll figure out a way.

Sometimes (rarely) I think I don't have pois, but it's there for sure! As soon as I'm confronted to hard exercise or problems, people, where the nervous system is involved, the slightest thing can quickly make the pois very obvious.
