I'm an idiot! I'm in day 1 and day 2.... And to top it off, the second one I did during the day, so I suffered day 0 on top of day 1.Sheeesh! and Yuck!
Hi All,Previously I had POIS after ejaculation which could last a week and more. In course of time my POIS lasted longer and longer. Now I almost always have POIS with severe headache and can't restore or, maybe, it's some other complications. Behind my eyes I have strange feelings of hurt, burning, bursting pains, etc. Now after ejaculation symptoms are getting even worse with more severe brain fog, but after some time I restore to my currently usual POIS.My neurologist after some tests (CT, Doppler examination, blood tests) said that I have high levels of dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline which cause my condition. Also, she said, I have some stuff, I don't remember now what it is (next time I'll find out), lower than usual which affects clarity of consciousness (like most of POIS sufferers I have brain fog). The doctor prescribed to me valproic acid to decrease the above neurotransmitters but in vain till now. Also I have low testosterone and quite high cortisol but, as I was told, it isn't a cause of the condition.

Or like you said maybe you have POIS and another disease. I read that doctors give valproic acid to persons who have bipolar disorder/manic-depressive disorder.Trough POIS I have also moods swings. Take care!
I had a really good connection with Lindsey Savino from TLC today. I was really impressed. We spoke at length and she asked many questions and went into details. I felt really comfortable with her and hope to go forward on her project. We covered a lot of ground and I'm quite tired now! but just wanted to share the news... I think she may be still looking for more people...
