I just noticed after being sexually excited and urinating a minute after, I found my body very cold and started to have brain fog.. anyone had the same experience?
I didn`t ejaculate but have seen the transparent liquid coming out. Only after urinating I felt cold and etc.
i experienced the same thing last night...i was sexually exited and i didnt ejeculate but this transperent pre cum came out...i started getting the normal pois symtoms not as serious as i get in ejaculation but ya it were there...so after that i went for a proper ejaculation cause i know it will take around 4days to a week to get normal...oh what a messy life...i was going fine for the last 2 weeks...i think i shouldnt get so much sexually exited also...anyways i have stopped having ejaculation often,just once a month...to lead a better life..but now i have to take care about sexual arousals also...bye friends...

Amazing, Starsky, that's what testosterone does for me, and in turn that convinces me of my pet theory that the faster semen regenerates, the less POIS there is.

Speculation.

Quick Question:

Does anyone notice that they develop a mild amblyopia (lazy eye) during POIS?  I recognize that my left eye is a bit lazy during POIS only.  Btw, wikipedia states:

Amblyopia means that visual stimulation either fails to transmit or is poorly transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain for a continuous period of time.  Amblyopia can be caused by deprivation of vision early in life by vision-obstructing disorders such as congenital cataracts, by strabismus (misaligned eyes), anisometropia (different degrees of myopia or hypermetropia in each eye), or by a significant amount of astigmatism in one or both eyes.

Just wondering what your take is on this and why.  My eyesight is perfect and I've never had any issues with it.  Of course, during POIS I have trouble focusing visually and a sensitivity to light.  Wondering how an allergic reaction can cause this condition. 

Thanks.

But fenugreek makes my POIS somehow weird. I feel some sort of numbness of my brain. Cant really describe it, the pois feeling is diferent, i can be more active but it gives me a unpleasent fealing.

The main symptoms i'm experiancing are a complete lack of motivation and energy to the point where i stopped working and dropped any and all of my hobbies.  I've been attempting to do some digging and it seems that those 3 fit fairly well with low testosterone which i know some people here have had issues with as well but my blood tests have all come back normal so my doctor disregarded my concern.

over the past 3 years i've attempted about 6 different types of anti-depressants as well as many different types of therapy and seen many psychologists but nothing has helped even in the slightest.  I've been given a clean mental bill of health multiple times and am concerned its a physical/hormone issue but my family doctor has pretty much given up at this point

about 3 times in the last 3 years i've had complete relief from these new symptoms but its only been for 24 hours and i can never find a connection, any suggestions would be be greatly appreciated, thanks.

what antidepressants have you tried? wellbutrin is the closests i've gotten to curing this nightmare. i've tried all the ssris pretty much and they made things worse. i think my problem stems from low dopamine

I'd have to check my exact list but the 4 i can remember now are Pristiq(desvenlafaxine),  paroxetine, Prozzac and Wellbrutrin.  The first day or 2 of trying the welbutrin gave me complete relief of those new symptoms, i felt 100% better, was a night to day comparison.  Unfortunately that left after 24 hours and never came back in my next 10 weeks on the drug regardless of doubling and 2.5x the dose.  

Honestly i'm no expert but after trying these various anti depressants for over a year i've convinced myself its not standard depression, i've had depression in the past many years ago and this just doesn't feel the same.  Not only that but from i understand about antidepressants is they work over a period of time so for me to be relieved 100% within an hour or so of taking it makes me feel it was more likely some sort of other chemical reaction unrelated to depression.

were you on wellbutrin by itself? or was it anadjunct to another antidepressant?
I only took the wellbrutrin by itself, i've never combined any of the anti-depressants with any other additive before.  Hoping to answer your question if i remember correctly 150mg was the minimum dosage for wellbrutrin.  I was up to take 2-300mg tablets a day (600 total) before i stopped after about 2 months.

Hi everyone,

I'm really just curious. Given than Waldinger has effectively found a 'Treatment' for POIS, i.e. Allergy Injections.
Why are we not all rushing out to our local Dr's and Allergists shoving the Waldinger Papers in their faces and saying 'now stick me with my Semen!'

Is there something I am missing here? The papers have certainly given me the courage now to talk to my GP and ask for a referal to an allergist..


P.S - I myself are still trying all sorts of Alternative..treatments, Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic Pills, Ginko Biloba...Nothing seems to be giving me the 'relief' I'm looking for though..

I tried that, but none of them will do that:
autologus ijections are very rare and its just the testing phase, i think in a few years it will be possible

His theory is only one, and not yet firmly proven. The purpose of the NORD research we are undertaking is aimed at exploring ALL possibilities that we have discussed here since 2007.

Quite interesting reading:

http://yourbrainonporn.com/rebooting-accounts

http://yourbrainonporn.com/what-are-the-symptoms-of-excessive-porn-use

etc. (try to search the site)

Can you see the similarities in symptoms? This is not about porn, it is more likely about attitude, addiction and rewarding behaviour.


YES!!!!!

http://yourbrainonporn.com/what-are-the-symptoms-of-excessive-porn-use

Many of these posts sound EXACTLY like POIS.  I have always thought there was an 'addictive' quality to my POIS (symptoms feeling somewhat like withdrawal, needing to achieve a high, subsequent orgasms helping alleviate symptoms, etc).  I think somehow porn use may have changed the chemistry of my brain, and how I respond to orgasm. :(.  Hopefully this can be reversed!

Anyone ever feel some kind of burning and semi-tingly sensation somewhere on their head as they are healing?  I am on like my 9th? day of celibacy and occasionally I get this weird burning sensation right at the top of my head. Just wondering if you guys get it too.

What if most if not all of these cases are in fact POIS cases. What if someone has gotten to them that watching PORN has been shamefull and has somehow caused these 'abnormal effects' when in fact it is just POIS? I mean, really - how many people do you know that does not watch PORN? and what about heaps of those guys that watch lots of porn or have heaps of sex without any of these symptoms?

I don't know about any of you guys, but I certainly have abstained for MONTHS on end, then BANG back to POIS once I become sexually active again. Reminds of the that bloke in the Research Journal and him being relieved of POIS symptoms for 9 months whilst his wife was pregnant..

I feel a lot of that material on the website is VERY relevant, but not very well researched or scientifically backed - rather just opinions and experiences. I'm not suggesting that's bad....But just maybe, a lot of people there might be very interested/relieved to hear about POIS.

Hi Demo. Agree, but correct me if I am wrong but to me his seems the most promising at this point in time - With definitely two successful treated cases in his paper - and hopefully a lot more in the second round of trials..

I'm certainly going to try this route if this is at all possible, I was just wondering why (More) others have not (that is others that aren't already trying experimenting with different theories like yourself)?

Really? Did they read the Waldinger papers or even refer you to someone that might be able to assist?  Also what Country are you in? I'm based in Australia so I'm hoping there may be someone here that may give it a try for me.
