Quote from: goingcrazy on 16/04/2010 06:15:04Actually yes, the night following eating 1 pack of strawberries, the brain fog was definitely a lot worse (this would have been my anxiety/depression crappy feeling if I O'd recently, but as time passes for me it ends up being this physical fog in my head), and in the following morning. Than I ate another box and that following night is when I had my breakthrough, I felt like some pathway was cleared, followed by that morning the brain fog was gone. i just want this feeling to stay, or maybe I'll just eat strawberries the rest of my life lol. Sorry about not explaining about this because I actually really wanted to I just kept going on about the strawberries.This has me confused.. sorry. Could you detail a little more the events related to the orgasm. For instance all was after the orgasm right? the first box when, day 0, 1? And then the second box, seemed to clear things up the morning after taking it the second evening.Could you note: day N 1st box: crappy, day N+1, second box, morning after great!What is the value of N?Sorry for the question, but it's important to know which day of the following cycle was affected by which stimulus, and when. The idea being that maybe day 3 for instance you would already be getting better anyways, etc. etc.I have found that by putting things in a data base, the relationships of consuming something compared to the "nomal cycle" are more important and evident.

...Strawberries contain histamines. I wonder if histamines didn't increase the strengh of my symptoms last time. I would like Underwater came back on this forum
Most recently (yesterday) I O'd 3 times (I know I don't want to blow it but I had to). This time I experienced no symptoms except for a bit of tiredness, but it was a good "tiredness" like a relaxed feeling that is what I would call normal after sex, especially 3 times. So no POIS out of 3 O's, which is usually rediculous for me, I came out alive and had no POiS whatsoever.
StrawberriesGC, I hope that strawberries [nofollow] work for POIS as well. I am wondering if the big servings you ate acted to reduce homocysteine levels. Could it be that homocysteine levels are skyrocketing in POIS? Reduction of homocysteine would explain the anti-POIS effects of all the foods that help me: bilberries, blueberries, spinach, garlic. I don't know of anyone on this forum that has had their homocysteine levels checked in POIS.
We wait one or two months more and if different berries still help your Pois symptoms, I will add them to the Pois remedies topic. This topic is obsolete and need to be updated and some remedies should be deleted if no positive report (Alpha20C...)--I'm trying to understand what are the flulike symptoms... Defsync thory (on reuniting site) :QuoteMy current theory is this has to do with the histamine released from the mast cells in the genitalia that are supposedly responsible for the involuntary contraction of smooth muscle tissue during orgasm. Me thinks the histamine is causing the symptoms because my brain is unable to remove it through methylation of the histamine molecule and then oxidizing the result (which is how yer brain gets rid of histamine). The 3rd known Histamine receptor in the brain mediates the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine. I think perhaps I have a deficiency in not histamine-N-methyltransferase (methylates histamine) but diamine oxidase (oxidizes the result), so the histamine is turned into N-methylhistamine and then collects in great quantities causing the POIS, until it's finally oxidized properly after 4-5 days. If I wasnt first being methylated, I believe my symptoms would be more like an allergic reaction, with more physical reactions rather than mostly cognitive.

MSG and Caffeine are both stimulants, so I think I am, at least for me, on the right track. I will keep you informed in another few weeks.

I haven't ate strawberries in about 4-5 days now and still feel normal. I've mentioned now that I sleep all the way through the night and take vitamin C also. I wonder if that change had anything to do with it. My cognitive symptoms have pretty much disappeared besides the morning fog. It's just a little bit their, except its more of a feeling like it's all in my eyes, not in my head, and I just rub it out and 10 minutes later it's gone.

Somebody should try it. I weigh about 155. So about every 75 lbs. buy 2 lbs of strawberries, see what happens. Maybe supplement with vitamin C too. But yes, the strawberries definitely had something to do with it if not altogether caused the symptoms to disappear.
