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

If anyone knows a supplement that helps back and neck pains after O, PLEASE let me know.
My performance gets affected due to the pains after...
I'm so sad about it and have to see a chiropractor to remove the pain on the following day...

After four weeks of taking Niacin 500mg/day, I have to say that it works pretty fine on me, but not a total cure.

Niacin is great in a sense that it does reduce back pain after O.
I don't have to see a chiropractor after O to fix it anymore.

However, Niacin does not reduce fatigue symptoms much in general, and it also seems to increase sexual appetite.

As I wrote on my previous post, control of O is one of the keys to me, and I would see how it goes.

I would try something else to add to Niacin soon, but I thank this forum to give me Niacin.

So, I've been on Niacin and B12 for a week now.

I do say that Niacin works great on me, but I'm not sure whether this can be a total cure.
I have flush on my skin for the first time today, and I have to adjust the amount I take.

Otherwise, they reduced back and neck pains after orgasm, and I appreciated the effect.
The downside seems to be that they seem to raise sexual appetite, and it was hard for me to go without some ejaculation during the week. I was gradually getting dull when I beared from it for several days.

Hopefully, I can soon find a point to comporomise.

I also can't accept that it's just an allergy to sperm. I have so many allergies that started around the same time as POIS that it seems more likely that it's an immunological disorder. Lastly, I have a sister who has a range of allergies also. She suffers from fatigue and brain fog but she clearly can't produce semen or suffer from a semen allergy. If I didn't have another O again, I doubt that I'd be OK without some kind of treatment for whatever the real condition is that's causing the allergies and fatigue. I'm not dismissing POIS as an idea but my belief is that we 1) have a rare disorder OR a rare compound of 2 or more less rare disorders 2) this is why doctor's can't diagnose it as they're not thinking holistically 3) it's worsened by O's because of the chemical reactions they precipitate but exists independent of O's. With that in mind, after 2 decades of this problem, I still wouldn't get a vasectomy.

Interesting observation. I think POIS symptoms were referred to as part of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the past. CFS was unfortunately dismissed due to failure of finding the real cause. Of course women had CFS as well, but I did notice that certain number of male patients expressed POIS along with CFS symptoms.

The shock that orgasm brings to both the body and mind seems to be the issue. I wonder how to measure this, though. I assume that a combination of weak muscles, weak nerve system, high stress level and some sort of defection in the brain - probably around the hypothalamic area, is causing POIS.

By writing this down, I believe that women may have POIS as well. However, I think they would also have mensural issues, and women would be treated at a women's clinic.

Both ejaculation and period are part of the metabolism of our body, and I think we need them in order to live healthy. Ejaculation comes with orgasm, unfortunately, and this seems to be the major difference between the two phenomena.

I've ordered Sodium already, so I will see whether it helps. It will come in a couple of days.

The youtube video linked from this forum was very impressive.


However, I have to say that I belive there is a fallacy in the doctor's research method.
From my own experience, I think things go crazy after orgasm for sure.
And I think immuno-defection is one of the big problems, and this is why we would tend to get a cold after orgasm.

What I mean is that probably we get allergic to almost anything right after orgasm.

I do wonder what the result would be if the sperm is kept for a week and then do the allergy test.
Strict control on patients' orgasm is probably impossible during the wait week, so this research wouldn't be doable anyway...

Still, I insist that I am skeptic to the sperm-allergy theory.

I have this, too, unfortunately, for decades, since when I was 14...
I wish to join this forum to search for a better living.
