Quote from: Counterpoints on 01/06/2008 02:58:49Also, you might find this article interesting: http://www.reuniting.info/science/articles/acute_dopamine_depletion_causes_psychological_distressI have read this text and I can not find any symptoms described that would match POIS symptoms.This is absolutely not the cause of POIS.Actually if you can identify with this text you are not even close to having POIS.
Pyropeach and I have found that we are physically the same height and body build. Also we have the same temperament.
Does anyone have a concrete plan about that yet?
I'm more inclined to submitting our data to a research endocrinologist than a neurologist or psychiatrist. I'd like to knowthe CAUSE of this condition and to treat that, rather than to treat it symptomatically with psychiatric drugs or other exper-mental medications. In my case specifically the only imbalances found in my blood work and other tests throughout the years have pointed to hormonal imbalances. These have included thyroid, cortisol, and DHEA levels. I think it's a great idea for all of us to submit our personal histories with POIS to a data sheet that includes: 1) Sex, current age, current medical status and medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, CFS, etc.) 2) Age of onset of POIS symptoms, (including whether it was a sudden or gradual onset); 3) Inventory of POIS symptoms specific to each of us (including severity of debilitation and duration);4) Personal history relevant to POIS symptoms (Total number of years afflicted/how that's affected our lives);5) Diagnostic tests done in attempt to find cause (blood work, MRI's, etc); 6) Any significant abnormalities discovered in those tests;7) Attempted treatments, duration of treatments and their results; Personal observations and theories about our experience with POIS.We really do need a place to post this info in an organized way, and we need someone to compile it all for a study.Does anyone have a concrete plan about that yet?
I dont think there is a need to create a new forum with better compiled subsections, although anyone who feels the need can do so. We dont have a large volume of novel information. All the details listed so far can easily be incorporated into a letter. A comprehensive record of member details can be created but we should first try and get the attention of some research group or professional.
Anxiety, loss of fluency of speech, confusion, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, etc. following orgasm? From what I've read, that seems to fall under the symptoms that people have described here...
ATTENTION EVERYONE PLEASE: RESEARCH ENDOCRINOLOGISTSince this effort is underway for some time, yet ideas have been formulated only recently for other directions, I should ask the question: is anyone here opposed to the track I'm on? i.e., B_Jim and I have created a letter to find a research endocrinologist who will go through these 27 pages of posts and make concrete recommendations for low-risk cures to test. We are already in progress with Cambridge University and Oregon Health (OHSU) - per pyropeach, a top-10 rated medical research facility.Please post your "Yes" (agreed) or "No" (opposed) here by June 8. This will also tell me who is "on board" with this project.Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you.

Though an online data form would serve to organize whatever track you're currently on, not change it entirely. It could only help. Why don't you post your letter?
