Hey guys,
I hope all is well. I just got a prescription for Adderall this morning. I haven't taken it yet as it requires 72 hrs for insurance authorization. I know demo has found relief with ADHD meds (dextroamphetamine salts) and testosterone therapy. I'm currently on testosterone therapy, so will see if the Adderall also helps.
Moreover, I have an appointment in a few weeks with Dr. Jason Rosenberg, Director of the Headache Center at Johns Hopkins. I've written him a long letter about POIS and he's had me complete a long survey in preparation for the visit. I recently read an interesting article about research on "brain freeze" and how they've tied it to a sudden change in brain blood flow. Moreover, they seem to believe this may help in identifying and treating migraines:
"The results suggest that these transient headaches are triggered by a sudden increase in blood flow in the brain's anterior cerebral artery. Brain freeze disappears again when this artery constricts, the study found."
I can feel the intense pressure in my head after an O and with Sumitriptan (Imitrex) having provided some relief, along with the relief many of us find with Niacin (the dilation of the vessels decreases the pressure against the walls of the vessels), I believe that we may find relief with neurological treatment. The other day I was on a flight and got a bit aroused thinking about a hot chick in my kickboxing class who was giving me the look. I didn't ejaculate, but did feel a bit of the "pleasure" of an O. And you guessed, POIS kicked in. It wasn't severe, but it was POIS. I checked for any semen, and found none, even inside my urethra.
I also hope to undergo cognitive behavioral therapy for as we can all agree, POIS does change our lives beyond the temporary physical symptoms we experience.
I will keep you updated and as always, best of luck and keep up the good fight.
