Testosterone does not help my pois. im on shots 2x a wk and my level is 789 but still have the symptoms after orgasms. I also take an estradoil blocker now, becuase T converts rapidly into estrogen. my level was 105 a year ago, so i assumed thats why i felt so bad after orgasm. It wasnt the answer. Im a 47 yr old male.
One theory I have is that - even if we're not low on testosterone, a boost might work nevertheless, for some people. I have just increased my dose 50%, with doc's approval. I just wrote to my endo to get his opinion on my theory.
Does anybody have an idea towards why POIS is worse in the morning? (at least for me)
well POIS has made it into a 2009 book about intimacyhttp://books.google.com/books?id=88EU4S8BhtoC&pg=PT125&lpg=PT125&dq=post+orgasmic+illness+syndrome&source=bl&ots=AAF1fQY8Yk&sig=VjbIa3HEljV3UmQQ98xaEO_2XYw&hl=en&ei=if6rSrTWEZLSMuCm2PIN&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=29#v=onepage&q=post%20orgasmic%20illness%20syndrome&f=falsethough after the mention of POIS she says "the usual cure" is to have more O's.lol(looks around naked scientists forums)hmmmm i missed that "usual" cure somewhere....
Interesting new bookMarnia Robinson, aka "reuniting" has been a POIS Forum member for quite some time and has contributed quite a bit to us. She and her husband are world-class experts in sexual relationships. Her new book looks like it might give us some more insight into POIS:http://www.reuniting.info/cupids_poisoned_arrow

No-Pois?
Defsync, how come those individuals dont experience POIS?
I was listening to NPR today about chemo-brain (info here: http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/default.asp?page=40136)symptoms: * Memory loss – forgetting things that you normally remember * Difficulty thinking of the right word for a particular object * Difficulty following the flow of a conversation * Trouble concentrating or focusing on one thing * Difficulty doing more than one thing at a time (multi tasking) * More difficulty doing things you used to do easily, such as adding up in your head * Fatigue (tiredness and lack of energy) * Confusion * Mental fogginessokay why am i mentioning this, well Jim mentioned cytokines before... the doctor being interviewed said that some of the people who exhibit these symptoms have high level of cytokines in their blood. And they dont know why the cytokines could be causing them.There exists a Cytokine panel of blood testing that can be done, like this one: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/ItemLCCYT/Cytokine-Panel---IL1b-IL6-IL8-TNF-Alpha-Blood-Test.htmlThe Cytokines in chemo-therapy result from an auto-immune response. Maybe for some of us the POIS is a auto-immune reaction triggering large amounts of these cytokines to be released. Once I have the health insurance again, I am definitely doing to get this panel done after a few O's (god that will be a crappy week at work lolz =)Even in healthy males, studies (like this one: http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowAbstract&ArtikelNr=79409&Ausgabe=230291&ProduktNr=224176) have shown that an O causes an immuno reaction by the human body.
