John, try pumpkin seeds (10 $ / pound ), with a carbohydrate at 4 PM.
Your serotonin will take off  
I sleep like a baby since 2 weeks.

Thanks! I am going to try it. I read that pumpkin seeds are also good for the bladder. With my UTI's...
100 grams of pumpkin seeds contain 30 % of the daily needs for Niacin. And also a lot of zinc and magnesium.
In Holland they have bread with pumpkin seeds. So I am going to buy that.

Pois will be discuted november the 1st at Middle East Society for Sexual Medicine (MESSM) meetin in Dubaļ, with australian doctor Chris McMahon.

They gave POIS a better name: Post-ejaculatory illness syndrome. It's not about O.
If 1 oil sheik has POIS we don't have to worry about the funds.
Let's hope that it gets the attention of more doctors and that there will be more research around the world.

Now I'm 99% convinced I'm not an immune/allergy pois's case too. It's hormonal. I want to try testosterone as soon I can. Demo was right since the beginning.

I have 50% less symptoms thanks to the desens program. But it could be both: allergy and hormones. Or there could be 2 kinds of POIS: 1. allergy. 2. Hormonal (testosterone?).

If you try testosterone, make sure you get informed well. Because if you are young, what are the consequences of taking testosterone? Good luck!

Guys,

I think my Pois is getting worse...Some time ago i needed 3-4 days to be at 100%. Now i need 1 full week, and even then, i still have symptoms. I don't know if it's because of the cold winter, but the throat pain, headache and skin dryness last a lot more...

Niacin is helping me, but the problem is that you need to plan your "o", 30 min - 1 h., and sometimes is not possible.

In my case POIS is much worse in winter. That's because there are more virusses in winter. And because of the dry air at home. And because of the cold. I get sick too for 2 weeks. So now I decided to have an O. only for my injections and wait until spring.

I'm curious to know how many people on this forum have had teeth removed or wore braces?

I had one tooth removed. There was a complication with a filling. My nerve at that place hurt. They removed the nerve and placed a temporary filling. But in the meanwhile my tooth broke in two. So they moved the tooth and placed a fake tooth. This was 15 years ago.

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.

Yes my fingers also get dry because of POIS. Especcialy my especially my pointer finger. Sometimes I make my finger wet with my mouth. I have noticed this since I have a smartphone. When I go with my finger over the screen my movements are not so quick.

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

I 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.

Vandemolen3, Are you also taking niacin as a preventive measure or any other remedies during this desensitization process.   

I don't have to take the Niacin before the injection. But because sometimes I have to go back to work I take Niacin just for the 10 or 20% extra relief. And once I had already a cold, but I wanted to do the injections. So I began taking Niacin. I had 2 injections with taking Niacin before the O. Maybe next time before the injection I will not take Niacin to see the effect. Now I take Niacin so I can have 4 O.'s a week and without major symptoms.

There is something I found out about POIS. There are 2 reasons why we catch a cold or get sinusitis:
1. When you have an allergy attack the defense system of your body is very weak. So a small thing will get you sick.
2. Because of the allergy you get a dry mouth and dry nose. And a dry mouth causes a lot of diseases. Just do some Google search and you will find out. So it is very important to drink a lot after an O. And it is very important to bring fresh air in your home. I know that when in POIS you feel cold. But you have to open the window so the air in your room gets more moist. I also bought a humidifier. I think this helps a bit.

Today I asked the doctor about Vitamin B3. He said that the reason why some of us find relief is because the flush runs out the histamines in the body. And when you have an O. the body will not spread histamines. And because of the histamines we have this allergy reaction. He said that maybe there is a risk the POIS gets worse because of Niacin. And you have to take a higher dose to get the same effect. And a lot of Niacin brings side effects as liver damage. BUT HE DIDN'T DO ANY RESEARCH ABOUT THIS! This is just his opinion. 

Niacin doesn't help me a lot. Maybe 10 to 20% less symptoms. I use 200 mg Niacin. I get a big flush. I do not dare to take more.

I had a good reason why I avoided this forum. A member insulted and accused me so bad that I said to myself that I will never post again. But the POIS-case is more important! This was trough pm, so I will not give more details. I hoped that this person would apologize, but he didn't. Especially because I am so devoted to get rid of POIS. I took risks, I donated. And then if someone treats me like that, it really hurts. But I don't want to spoil the atmosphere here. So please don't react on this post. I just wanted to give you the reason of my absence. I saw that I had some pm's. I am sorry that I didn't react, but now you know the reason.

I am back at the turn of the tide. I come with good news.

Desensitization plan works for me. I have 40-50% less symptoms.  I used to have 4 days of POIS. Now it is 2 days. And sometimes only 1 day. I began with a dillution of 1/10.000. Then 1/1000, 1/200, 1/70, 1/50, 1/30, 1/15. And today it was 1/5. The good news is that the max was 1/20. Now there was a meeting with allergists in The Netherlands. They said the dillution can be lower. Now the max is 1/2. Almost pure semen. When I went from 1/50 to 1/30 I had pain in my arms for 6 weeks. And I had a red mark on my arm and under my armpit. I thought it was blood-poisoning, because at another hospital an intern took some blood from my arm and she couldn't do it with 1 shot. But the doctor said this was just the reaction of the desensitization. Last time I had no reaction at all from the injection, no little red mark. So that's why today we went to 1/5. And today my arm really hurts again.

The other good news is that the Dutch health insurance are willing to pay for their clients. So that's why a few allergists are willing to do the desensitization. Next week there will be a test of 2 patients of 2 different allergists at the clinic where I go. So hopefully all the POIS-patients in The Netherlands can be helped in 2012 immediately!

Yea conner, i get that nostalgic too. I thought it was my personality, but it's mostly during pois I feel those strong emotions

Yes I am more nostalgic too during POIS. It's normal when you feel a bit down, you think about good times in the past. I always play music from the eighties.
I think about relationships in the past because now I can have a normal relationship with a woman because of POIS.
But we have to hold on. As we say in Holland: there is light and the end of the tunnel.

Here is an article that I just noticed when searching online:

http://www.twinsuk.ac.uk/Publicatons/2011/Postcoital.pdf

It seems to be about a 'female version' of POIS: Postcoital psychological symptoms (PPS).  And, the article makes a direct comparison to POIS, and mentions the Waldinger/Schweitzer and Ashby/Goldmeier studies.

Interesting! But for females it's easier. Just use a condom. And they can mast. without get sick.

Someone without POIS could be injected with his own semen.  That would be a satisfactory control for the purpose of Dr. Waldinger's experiment.  Injecting someone with someone else's semen would be an entirely different and new investigation.

It's a risk. Because healthy people can get new disseases by the 'strange' semen. They don't want to take that risk.
About your question (injecting non poiser and no reaction): It's done by a my allergy doctor.

A time ago they injected a person who didn't had POIS, he had no reaction. In the Netherlands it is not allowed to inject a person with semen of another person.

I showed the picture of my hand. The doctor said it is the same reaction of people who have a food allergy. He said that inside the body there are the same red spots.

And the doctor said it is good to have O.'s in a regular basis. So it can trigger the body. It helps the injections.

Today I had another injection. Last time the dilution was 1/1000. Today it was 1/200. About 4 weeks it will be 1/70. At 1/70 there will be a big improvement. So I am looking forward for that appointment. Normally you achieve 1/70 after 1 year. I will do that after 4 months.

I know that not every allergy is the same, but it's worth trying. I used to drink probiotics for my intestines. But that didn't help. Now I know that my problem them was UTI and stress.

Not such a good idea for me. I have stomach problems when I drink probiotics.

Why antihistamines do not prevent the allergy from developing after an O? Any ideas?

I think because the allergy attack is too big. And antihistamines we can take are pills. The only antishistamines that could bring the symptoms down is an injection through the urethra. I talked with my doctor about this, and he said that it could be a solution. But the only problem is, that there is no such thing. And pharmaceutical industry will not make something for maybe 10.000 people in the whole world.
