I remember hearing that many people who have had had psychotic breaks and ended up going on killing sprees were found to be chronic carb addicts, eating tons and tons of carbs as a way of life....just curious who else has/had this issue....just thining about it makes me want to go get some twizzlers

Dan White shot and killed the Mayor of San Francisco, and the defense trotted out the now infamous "The Twinkie Defense". 'Sugar made him do it'.

Twizzlers? I'm pre-diabetic, but don't know how to live without 'em!

does anyone get the nervousness in hands and feet/rawness kinda feeling

I read somwewhere that this was pre parkinsons which is bit much

[GoingCrazy]

I am really just freaking out.  There would have to be no way that hormones can cause this feeling I am experiencing right now.

GC, why not?

Hmm maybe because I just can't believe my body would concoct something so harmful and debilitating to my system.  This is where I started to believe that these hormones were released in the wrong location.

I was wondering if everybody could take a look at this picture, https://www.bcbsri.com/BCBSRIWeb/images/image_popup/ww5rn89.jpg ,and say specifically where and how they feel POIS.

For me I would say it starts off at it's worst in the cerebellum (bottom right) (worst anxiety), and then slowly works its way up from there into the cerebrum (top right, top) (more headache, less anxiety), than slowly  making its way a bit to the front of my brain (headache. This is when I experience blurry vision, maybe how it leaves my brain?)  And it slowly dissipates from there.  The time it takes for this to complete from beginning to end would be approximately  2-3 straight nights of sleep, around 2-3 days after the day of my initial orgasm.  The blurry vision i would say currently lasts til the 4th day.  This whole process is twice as worse followed by the # of times I orgasm.  1 O = 1x, 2 O = 2x, 3 O= 3x, etc.  Not worse as in time, but in POIS pain.

Maybe exercise speeds up this process?

As long as you get it in POIS I would say don't worry about it.  Do you mean like shaky?

My update - I took John's 'solution' (yogurt, blueberries, and cranberries) and broke out each food to test individually.  The purpose is to identify which food is the possible solution.

Yogurt Test - I ate yogurt with suggested brand and bacteria for 3 weeks.  I NE'd and felt normal POIS.  ***Note: John ate the yogurt mix for 3 months (right?) before cured.

Thats the first test.  I am now trying cranberries.  Thanks Demo, John, and the team for keeping hope.

EDIT - I'm excited to find out cranberries are low in carbs!

GC, no way can I assign POIS agony to any one location. It is actually as John famously described in his very first post in 2007, an indescribable mental illness. The one thing I can describe is the utter desolation of being totally disconnected from the world around me. As someone else said, if the world's best joke were told in POIS, the reaction would be a DULL "...yeah..."

Hahaha, that is exactly how it is.  I literally cannot laugh in POIS.  It feels like hell but that statement totally describes it.  You really cannot assign POIS a location?  I always feel the same reaction every time in the back of my head.

If not the cranberries or anything else, maybe it is just his prolonged celibacy?

Have you tried apples?
As they say; an apple a day keeps the pois away.

Who says that?  Actually, I hope we all do real soon.

Haha, I'm pretty sure "they" do

[demografx]

Today is my 3rd nearly POIS-free time in recent months. Very strange. Maybe the lower frequency? Maybe the testosterone? Maybe the mood? On the other hand, I've had some nightmarish POIS recently, but it could also be attributed to the 3 variables mentioned.

[GoingCrazy]

I was just on this website.  More incite to Lyme Disease.

http://www.mentalhealthandillness.com/Articles/SexAndLymeDisease.htm

"Orgasm induced migraine headaches:
Although uncommon, this is seen in chronic Lyme disease patients."

But haven't people on this site been tested before for Lyme Disease?

goingcrazy's picture: interesting pic of the pituitary gland, the seat of many POIS problems?

According to CP, 3 people here have had pituitary anomalies. My endo sent me to get an MRI of my pituitary, found a partially empty sella, not enough for him to worry about.

[demografx]

I hope we all [get rid of POIS] real soon.

I second Limejuice's motion!

[Dean93]

Good Luck, Dean!

Thanks, Demo!

[demografx]

Quercetin seems good but only 4mg per apple is not suffisant to block Pois effects

B_Jim, if I eat 1,000 apples I'll get sick!! []

             

[Limejuice]

Agreed! Sick of apples for sure and perhaps more sick than standard POIS.

[CrazyFox]

how much does it cost to get tested for lyme disease? without insurance?

[GoingCrazy]

I hate how NE's produce POIS symptoms  []... it gives you no control over the illness.  My best bet so far is to follow Johns plan for cranberries, blueberries, and yogurt.  Maybe a little "honey on toast" [].  What's really hard is not to "give up" after an NE.  That is what I did last time and I've learned not to do that again.

Any good methods that help avoid NE's?
