New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)

Thanks Viktor. I was tested before and the doctor said I had it but that was 7 years ago. Going to do the tests again. Ignoring the original diagnosis had more to do with this holistic doctor also recommending acupuncture which I did and found ineffectual. I tried zinc & b6 supplements at the time (with some effect) but it's entirely possible their effect was diminished due to the poor state of my digestive system. My regular GP referred me to a specialist and a colonoscopy confirmed I had flattened villi in my intestines. I went on a special diet which gave me a bit more energy but didn't improve the POIS symptoms. Like many here, I was so worn out that when one avenue of exploration appeared fruitless I confined every idea from that period to the waste bin for a few years.
It's a bit more difficult to find a lab to test pyrrholes in the urine in the country where I'm living and even harder to get a GP to request it but I know confirming a diagnosis would be important. This is ironic as alternative healthcare practitioners seem to believe that my ethnic background has a genetic predisposition towards the disease. Let's just say I'm a "Celtic cocktail" as a friend used to joke.
So before I got a retest I just wanted to see if relatively low doses of ZMA had any effect as I was shipped them with a whole bunch of whey protein I ordered. They definitely have.
