Pois is secondary for me, CFS is my primary problem, but I think they are interrelated, as both (in my case) have at least something to do with hormonal deficiencies.

Contrary to my saying that i would not post anymore. I do want to add a few words on beta blockers.After about six weeks all my symptoms have disappeared. I am now able to do things I, only a couple of months earlier, thought i would never again do. Things that some people take for granted.Anyway except for maybe my special case I have noticed none of the fatigue symptoms some people talk about when talking about beta blockers. On the contrary they make me feel a lot fitter then i used to do. I am also a lot hapier these days.One thing that can be of interest to everyone is that it completely elimintated sex drive. I feel that I do not have to have sex. And that alone is a feeling more energyzing than anything I have ever felled before.So personally I would recommend them to everyone and have any doctor shot that doesn't want to provide them.

I am so glad you are feeling better. It provides so much hope.Please let me know.Thanks
Take a test for Candida?Sugar causes problems for me too, as do some types of beer. Also: I have had skin problems (eczema) for a long time, and I have taken minocycline and tetracycline for extended (longer than 1 month) periods, several times, including around the time I connected symptoms to POIS.Has anyone else here taken minocin or tetracycline? when and for how long? (in relation to POIS symptoms starting) How about sugar causing problems?
Interesting, girlwind. Sugar does make me feel unusually spacey and distressed. But I don't see how candida would respond to orgasm in such a noticeable way -- orgasm certainly affects me more than sugar or carbohydrates. Maybe two separate problems? I too regret taking antibiotics in my teens, inconsistently, and for extended periods of time.
Thnak you for all that girlwind, although I am not sure one can ever know for sure that candida is an old story, no longer a problem, maybe it still manifests but as POIS, which would make sense because of what you say about adrenal balance. It seems like sugar is actually NOT the problem but fats are, as they give sugar a hard time to be turned into energy on a cellular level, making the pancreas go wild on insulin and throwing the adrenals out of balance, and weakening you. Doug Graham people say it takes ages to diminish candida when you stay away from sugar but takes a very short time when you stay away from fats. It makes sense that stopping sugar does not really makes sense when everything is turned into glucose in the body anyway.
