New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)
« on: 03/05/2020 04:08:07 »
Hi akt1.  I'm appreciative of your well thought out theory.  Many people on the forum, including myself, have had success with many of the supplements which convert Glutamate to Gaba.  However I believe this is coincidental, because at least in my case, this theory doesn't hold water.

For starters, I used to take gaba pills.  For months I took them.  Didn't help my pois, however I liked the way it calmed me.

Even if gaba doesn't help me, your theory could still apply to too much Glutamate.  However this doesn't work for me either
1) From everything I can see, my methylation appears to be optimal.  I've performed blood work, looked at my genes, etc.  Overall, I've thoroughly researched and reviewed my methylation pathways, and this is not a weakness of mine. 
2) High glutamate would lead to a racing mind and insomnia.  POIS has a nearly opposite effect in me.  It makes me lethargic and clears my mind of all thought and then blocks my ability to think much at all. 

Perhaps others have a different take?

It's been over 3 months, and I want to followup and report that Ginger still works for me. 

My protocol for using it has never changed.  I simply take 2 ginger pills immediately before or after an O.  As a result, most times the next day I can't tell that I had an O.  For best results, I limit my Os to 1-2x a week.  If I have too many my body will weaken and I'll get some of the symptoms, but still not all of them.

It's clear that Ginger doesn't work for everyone.  By that same token, niacin never worked for me and it worked for others. 

Best part about it is how simple it is.  A large bottle of Nature's Way (which I use) is under $10.  And there's no discomfort by taking 2 pills.  And you can even take it right after the O.  Could not be easier.
