Someone on the board mentioned seeing a endocrinologist and ask him about all of this. I think its an excellent idea.

Porke, we are in the process of recruiting an endocrinologist to read these posts and suggest low-risk trial cures to this POIS Forum. We have 3 letter templates and progress. Please refer to previous, recent posts. If you can help, that would be great.

Investigating what Porke said about mercury poisoning, concludes that the POIS is directly related to the intestines. According to what I read about bacteria and fungi that live there, their behavior can cause fatigue. The theory I have is that in the intestines after a POIS is poured a kind of natural antibiotic that acts like mercury and that attacks the normal flora present in the intestines. This effect is related to the investigation that made Jeff Clark on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Mercury Poisoning. That bacterial imbalance produces chronic fatigue. Reading what it is said there an exess of antibiotic kills bacteria and produces diarrhea, in short. Similar to POIS symptom in many cases but not mine, in my case the antibiotic produces quite the opposite, a bacterial imbalance that produces constipation. Wherever, in both cases fatigue arise.
Somewhere in the web page mentions that a cleansing of the bowel as a good measure. Something that I come to experience a long time and the results are consistent, it is there something in the intestines that makes appear fatigue in the brain. I think it needs to be investigated by that side. I will recomend to try farma antibiotics effects on POIS to see what happens next.

Okay, I will modify my previous statement.  This seems like a very far fetched theory, and before taking antibiotics I strongly suggest you consult with a physician.  Also, as far as the other discussion goes, I am quite positive that POIS is not a result of heavy metal poisoning; I say this as someone with a very rigorous and extensive scientific background, who also knows about this subject.  I'd bet that if you were to ask any physician if mercury poisoning were likely connected to POIS the answer would be "no".  Get a test.  I make these comments not to be argumentative, but sincerely hoping for an effective investigation towards treating POIS.

I think you are wrong! you must read I am not saying that mercury is affected. What I am saying is there is a substance poured in the intestine that acts "like" mercury or "like" antibiotic. Investigators said that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is because that antibiotic effect that mercury has. Please read this The Chronic Candidiasis Syndrome:     http://www.cfs-recovery.org/docdarren2.html
The bacterial unbalance is temporary, that substance poured during the orgasm slowly dissapear letting the bacterial balance recovery again.

The primary contributing factor is the use of oral antibiotics ...intestinal Candida proliferation is becoming an ever increasing problem.

I think is because intestinal Candida proliferation when an orgasm occurs

Candida has also been suggested to play a part in creating what is called a "leaky gut," an unfavorable increase in intestinal permeability. Undigested macromolecule food particles and toxins are allowed to pass directly into the body creating a host of problems. This creates havoc with the immune system when these particles trigger an immune response sensitizing the individual to normally harmless molecules

I also don't think POIS has any connection to chronic fatigue syndrome.

Its not possible for you to say that because you simply dont know. There might be a connection with an underlying mechanism for both POIS and CFS.

"The low activity of adrenal glands is for me the best theory."

This makes total sense to me, based on my very long experience with both CFS and POIS.

[demografx]

SMALL adrenal gland: years ago, my Oriental massage/accupuncturist was convinced that was my POIS cause.

CFS and POIS: My psychiatrist a couple years back thought my POIS could actually be CFS.

I just want to make a summary of our solutions :

-Demografx : 75% healed with Levitra.

- Agjchs : healed with only 10mg of DHEA after orgasm.

-Dave23 : healed with
Testosterone
Dostinex (inhibitor prolactin). 500 to 1000mg 4 days a week
Aromasin (blocking aromatase enzyme => aromasin decrease estrogens)
5Htp (serotonin precursor)
Relora (cortisol inhibitor, supposed to increase DHEA), phytotherapy supplement
GABA (neurotransmitter)
Powerfull (musculation supplement) , supposed to increase Growth hormon.
Reset AD (musculation supplement), supposed to heal adrenal fatigue
DIM (di-indole methane) phytotherapy supplement, supposed to balance estrogens
 

B_Jim, thank you for summarizing the concrete "cures" we have found. If I weren't involved in the POIS Forum, I might have not connected the Levitra with POIS, I might have just thought the symptom abatement was just a "fluke".

The number of POIS-cure ideas and detail floating around here is staggering. I can't wait to get some help from the outside (like the endocrinologist) otherwise I'll surely develop COIS! (Curative Overload Information Syndrome  [] )

...Many infectious agents can affect adrenal gland function and cause adrenal insufficiency. These agents, which are listed in Table 1, include mycobacterial, bacterial, viral, and fungal etiologies...

...Americans are the most fungally infected in the world.  Americans eat more sugar than any other country.  This is no coincidence that the largest sugar consumer is also the most fungally infected group of people.  Sugar disrupts metabolism and damages glands, which repress the immune system.  This opens a door to allow fungi to proliferate throughout the body.  In addition to immune suppression, the sugar fuels the fungi and allows it to thrive...Anti-biotics kill the good bacteria within us.  Not only that, but they are themselves mycotoxins. This allows fungal infections to grow like wildfire.

They now have low cellular sugar, a perfect playground for fungus to feed. However, now the cells do not have enough sugar to burn for energy so we become weak if we do not eat often and we surely do not have enough sugar to keep us alive during the night!

The brain now signals the adrenal gland to send out adrenal hormones to keep the body functioning during the night, which it does. But the side effect is that during the night the person may get hot or they may even have night sweats!

The next is very interesting: This helps explain why there is no simple solution to 'Chronic Fatigue, diabetes or heart disease, cancer, Fibromyalgia, and many more diseases.’ A host of some of these disorders are called a syndrome, in other words they are your fault. And where do the great scientists of our time say all these diseases come from? No one knows.

But fatigue is associated with all of them.

There appears to be not one but many failing systems also associated with these disorders. In most cases there are some common causes of the system failures. The most common cause seems to be a faulty immune system that allows Candida Overgrowth! Observation strongly points in that direction.

Excuse me, it is very possible for me to say "I think...".  I am not making any definitive statements.  I am assigning a low probability to the event that CFS and POIS are closely connected, based on my background and what I have read about each.

B_Jim, I notice my treatment has not been included in the "summary".  Also, I think there was a case where Zoloft was used as a 100% cure?
