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

Hi everybody I'm just touching base to see if anything new has developed, I feel relatively lucky reading some of your stories, I noticed a thread relating to food earlier, and just wanted to mention that if I binge on carbohydrates in the 48 hours after sex, then this tends to increase the fatigue, however, I'm unsure if this is just the digestive process. Whilst I'm still suffering with some of my symptoms my lifestyle has changed radically in the last 2 years, depression and anxiety is radically reduced, I've put this down to removing my self from stressful environments, trying not to mix with other depressives and removing my self from the doom and gloom of the media, however the fatigue still persists, but I now drink lots of coffee, which kick starts me in the afternoon. I find that if frequency is more than once every 5 days other symptoms seem to kick in. I suffered very badly with this illness through out my teens and twenty's, due to, I think a libido that required sex a lot more than once a week but as I've gotten older this has reduced and its symptoms have become more subtle, although my joints still crack the 48 hours after sex and the fatigue slows me down. Hope this helps the cause. Best wishes to you all antman.
