Dave, aren't there curanderos down there who can eliminate your POIS for a modest fee?
Hi everyone,I am a POIS sufferer. I think the symptoms have something to do with the decrease in breathing period and volume. I suspect that after orgasm a POIS sufferer has a slower metabolism which may relate to the symptoms.Well, I observed myself after any type of ejaculation; I breathe about a quarter of normal situations(without symptoms). I decided to do heavy exercises like swimming and skiing which makes you put lots of effort and breath faster. By doing this I observed that my symptoms decayed in only two days rather than 6 days.So, basically when having the symptoms I feel all of my muscles are very tired which include the diaphragm muscle as well. So that way I can`t breath with the normal rate and volume; so less oxygen gets into my blood. What I do to reduce the symptoms are to do heavy exercises specially swimming and drink lots of liquids. An extended sleep time helps too. I talked to a few doctors about this problem and no one agreed that the symptoms exist. I am a student and get the symptoms the night before my exams. It really decreases my performance in the exam and I don`t know how to prove this to my professors.I always ask myself what are the things that change in body after orgasm that make me less alert, so exhausted and simply naturally forces me to do less than normal situations? I appreciate your comments.
Demografx,Why would an allergy affect testosterone production?Hypogonadal men do not experience POIS symptoms. Why would testosterone alleviates POIS symptoms?

Can anyone recommend any additional data for me to send to my endo?I emailed him:1. British Medical Journal study 2010 by Dr Selwyn Dexter2. UCLA Urology study by Dr Wang3. Previous POIS Forum discussions on progesterone.Thanks!Reminder: if anyone wants a copy of #2 above, PM me your regular email address.I sent a document to what I believe is your email address.Laurac, thank you, yes, I received all your stuff, this is incredibly helpful!!! Wish me luck!

I appreciate your comments.Hi Mer,Yes, there are a lot of symptoms that effect the chest area, from muscle weakness and connective tissue inflamation which effects the whole sternum to the gastric system and the esophagus with burning and spasms.Wish I could do excersize to improve the situation, but there's just no way until after the POIS settles down.But sleep, totally agree, especially the first 12 hrs.Welcome. Hope we can help one way or another.
Hi everyone! Good news to report...
do you ever get 'minor'/or any POIS from... (a)arousal alone?(b)mastubation without ejaculation and NO fluids/leakage?(c)or mastubation without ejaculation but SOME fluids/leakage?(d)how do NEs compare to (b)?thanks
It's interesting to note that after the testing, I was hit by a bout of POIS fatigue and brain fog very quickly. Normally my POIS lingers for around 10 days. This time the symptoms hit me quick and hard. I fell into a deep sleep for an hour which helped symptoms. They didn't linger too bad.
Hi everyone! Good new to report. I visited Dr. Bewtra this weekend to get an allergy test. The results were positive! The experience was great. All of the testing was administered by by Dr. Nguyen, who worked on the semen allergy study with Dr. Bewtra at Creighton University. I also visited with Dr. Bewtra. Both men were fascinated by Waldinger's study. They have treated women who have semen allergy, but this was the first case of a man they had seen. They showed great interest in the disease and in our community. I have posted pictures of the results below. I had to diminish the quality of the photos to add the arrows, etc. so I apologize. I received the p-r-i-c-k test as well as the intradermal injection tests since I wasn't entirely clear on which to ask for (Waldinger's study refers to "intracaneous injections" but calls it a p-r-i-c-k test.) Dr. Nguyen did not dilute the semen as Waldinger specified. The p-r-i-c-k tests showed a slight reaction (about 3x3mm wheal and erythema and a 5x5mm wheal and erythema). The intradermal reactions were huge. It was 25x30mm wheal and erythema and 15x30mm wheal and erythema. Waldinger says in his study that wheal and erythema less than 5mm is negative. (For those who don't know, the "wheal" is the red bump that appears and the "erythema" is the flaring out rash that surrounds the wheal. Measuring these two components gets the numbers I mentioned above). It's interesting to note that after the testing, I was hit by a bout of POIS fatigue and brain fog very quickly. Normally my POIS lingers for around 10 days. This time the symptoms hit me quick and hard. I fell into a deep sleep for an hour which helped symptoms. They didn't linger too bad.As a treatment, Dr. Bewtra and Nguyen prescribed me prednisone (5mg tablets). This is a steroid prescribed for allergic reactions. They weren't sure of the dosage. The 5mg is low, and they told me to experiment to see what worked. They suggested I take it 4 hours before orgasm, and cautioned me about taking it daily. I need to do more research on the drug. I had an O last night. I took the 5mg medication beforehand and have taken 3 more doses since then as I feel POIS symptoms kicking in. It seems to help, but I need to experiment more. I'm also scared of the placebo effect, which I have experienced before with "cures." I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to ask me any questions (in the forum or via PM). I can also send the pictures via email if you would like a bigger, higher quality version.

Such interactions appear to be mediated through the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal-thymic axis and depend on pituitary luteinizing hormone released by thymic factors under the control of the gonadal steroids.THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN CITED BY OTHER ARTICLES:Cohort Profile: 'Children of 1997': a Hong Kong Chinese birth cohortInt J Epidemiol 11 January 2011: dyq243v1-dyq243.Full TextFull Text (PDF)http://www.sciencemag.org/content/227/4684/257.short......
