I'm day 2 today (25 hours later) .Dispite my post-orgasm supplements (vitamin C + B, bromelain), I have flu-like symptoms (sweats, feverish...). Sunday I ate a lot of high carbs (Family Banquet) : ice cream, pastas, pizzas, cakes, satured fats... I don't say my vitamins and enzyme is useless but the high carbs have a strong and quick negative effect to compare to supplements. I had clear muscle tremors yesterday. My urinary pH is too acid (5 to 6).
I wonder what is different (aside from duration of action) between Cialis and Levitra? I used a 20mg and did have a headache (which I seldom get) and a flushed feeling but no increased POIS symptoms as you experienced.
PhosphatidylserineScientific study : QuoteEffects of phosphatidylserine on the neuroendocrine response to physical stress in humansThe data indicate that physical stress induced a clear-cut increase in plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, ACTH, cotisol, GH and prolactin, whereas no significant change was observed in plasma dopamine and glucose. Pretreatment with brain cortex-derived phosphatidylserine significantly blunted the ACTH and cortisol responses to physical stress.Naturopaths/nutritionists think :- Phosphatidylserine can modulate release of cortisol and ACTH - Phosphatidylserine blocks the excessive response of adrenals to a stress - "repair" HPA axis- The treatment must be prolonged at least 3 months (?)

It just didn't work at all. So the letdown felt devastating, emotionally. Failed experiment.Also, at the time I didn't realize the importance of testosterone, which I was taking erratically via depotestosterone injection, which as you know "spikes". so I might have simply been on the other side of "spike". Last year I mistakenly attributed all my POIS success (and failure) to Levitra. And then I stopped testosterone altogether, not realizing it was a major contributor to my POIS healing!Amazing how something so simple became so complicated! Similar to Hurray's experimentation with Fenugreek and DHEA.
What kinds of allergic reactions can people have to semen?People can have localized problems after immediate contact with semen. They can have burning, pain and swelling that can occur for long periods of time. Typically it affects the outer vaginal vault area, though it can also affect the inner vault. Some women describe severe burning and pain, where it feels like 1,000 needles have been injected in them at one time.
What in semen are people allergic to?People are allergic to proteins in semen. We don't really know which proteins are responsible at this point. Many of the proteins associated with the semen allergy are believed to be common proteins found in all semen, but it's also possible for people to be allergic to a protein that is unique to an individual.The systemic reaction is believed to be linked to a specific IgE antibody that is triggered by the protein; this antibody response is similar to what occurs in people who have seasonal allergies. There are probably multiple causes of the localized reaction. A delayed type of hypersensitivity response similar to what occurs with poison ivy may be involved.
A case of an anaphylactic type of allergy is reported with pruritus, mucosal edema, asthma and shock symptoms which developed in a 26 year old female against her husbands sperma fluid. Symptoms and test results are compared with those of six other published cases. Results of skin tests obtained with a fraction of sperma plasma separated by chromatography are indicating that the antigen is of protein nature with a molecular weight of about 14.100. A molecular weight between 12.400 and 24.00 has also been reported in the literature.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up already, but there seems to be a very small group of women who react allergically to semen. But the question is: Can the male body regard something that is produced by itself as hostile or unknown, thus leading to some sort of anaphylactic shock? Or to put it short - can a man be allergic to his own sperm?
I FINALLY FOUND A THREAD ADDRESSING [POIS].
I wish my symptoms were similar to the vast majority of POIS sufferers.Mine is like a slow panic attack with tingles, sweats, depression and a general amped up feeling. I keep this anxious, tense condition for about 4 days. I don't get this severe exhaustion and cognitive impairment. Yet like everyone else, I don't like to socialize at all during this period. During my POIS, I have to avoid arousal or I get worse. There is a bit of madness to mine. As a consequence of my symptoms, I am still pursuing the auto-allergic side of things. Another term for me might be a hyperstimulatory response to orgasm and arousal. Something (some chemical/s) stay in my system and don't let me relax!!!!! Mine is almost opposite of everyone's main symptoms.
