I take a very large dosage of niacin the morning after O'ing (3080 percent of your daily value) and i feel fantastic. Dont forget i gave the name POIS to my doctor and basically summarized our problems and told her about all of us on the forum and stuff like that. She understands it most likely is not a mental thing. And also i take flush free niacin , but i get flush like symptoms immediatley after O'ing without taking Niacin, Some weird stuff my body does.Hi Itsthatskater,
Do you take Niacin only after O or do you take regular doses (eg. daily) anyway? You are the first person I remember reading about for whom Niacin taken AFTER O has really helped (everyone else seems to have found they only get beneficial effects if taken BEFORE O, although some find if they've taken some before then doses in the days after can help a bit if they still have symptoms..). I assume if you are taking such high doses and it is a non-flushing Niacin that it is Nicotinamide/Niacinamide that you have. Could you tell us more about your Niacin routine and what type of tablets (look on the ingredients) you have. Thanks.
And well done for talking to your doctor. Its great that she accepts the reality of the condition.
I am a 57 yo male that has just experienced a very similar episode.
My last two ejaculations created a very strange experience for me. I became very confused and "punch drunk", similar to what has been described above. The confusion lasted 4 to 5 hours but eventually dissipated.
The first time this happened was four weeks ago, my wife thought I was having a stroke, and rushed me to the ER in a state of mental confusion. They kept me overnight for tests; CT, MRI, EEG and Holter Monitor. Nothing abnormal except my BP was sky high 156/117. I seemed to come out after 4 or 5 hours.
I didn't connect the problem with ejaculation until it happened to me again, last weekend. Both times was I was masterbating. I have never experienced anything like this before. Now I'm afraid to have intercourse with my wife and began browsing and found this. No sure what to do next.
The next grant cycle at NORD begins in March 2012. That gives us six moths to raise ~$30,655.
I'm confused. I thought we had years to raise that money.
We don't loose anything if we don't make the minimum by the time mentioned (other than time). The grants are processed once a year in March. If we don't make it this year it will be a year more.
...and a year more .... and a year more etc.
Personally I don't understand why there's so little interest. (with all respect and gratitude to those who have shown their seriousness already)
We will NOT find a cure without the grant. This means until we do the research we can spend all the time in the world here for nothing.
It might be argued that we have found testosterone, niacin, fenugreek, desensitization, discovered many posibilities, but we still can't go to a doctor and have him take us seriously. We could find the cure, and it won't do us a darn bit of good if we can't convince the doctors that they must treat us with it.
It's like buying a wind-up toy and not winding it up. It's like having a million dollars and living in a shack with a mattress made of money. Do we understand this?
There are many of us that don't believe the auto-immune theory, there have been no other proper studies. We have nothing. Do we understand that?
If we carry on like this, what does it serve us to discuss ANY theory? Do we understand this?
We're talking $50 per month for 6 months. We can take out a small loan, sell a couple of things, work overtime. Or we will just carry on as we have for 4.5 years.
Well guys, this is kinda sad, Pois is ruining my life, Im missing school because im so sick from it and im too embarrassed to tell the nurse whats wrong. This is ruining my life. It really sucks
I know...I also had problems with school. And now i have problems at work because of Pois. And i'm afraid to get a girlfriend because:
A) My sexual potency is very poor when i'm under Pois, nearly impotent. Does this also happen to you?
B) If she wants to have sex regulargy, i would be always in Pois.
