daveman, if you dont mind me asking, (feel free not answer if so wish)
how does it feel 'down below' now (specifically im thinking the testcles and the nerves/connections running into them)?

i.e is there ANY discomfort?
minor pain?
zaps of pain?
minor numbness?

is there any sense within you that "id rather not touch that area", (wherever that area is for you) if you catch my drift.

When the POIS was heavier, I would ususally have fairly sharp pain just before and/or during the orgasm, on the right side and eminating from the whole area between the testicle to the upper bladder. The pain would localize more closely to the seminal vessel shortly afterwards.

Now, there's usually no pain in the moment, even in light of using the "forced ejection" method. Afterwards the pain or ache may appear in the seminal vessel area, and often there is swelling in the epididymis, often both sides. The scrotum feels full, rather than loose as usual.

The pains can be similar to those associated with prostate swelling, and I would bet that there is some of that too, being that the whole area is swollen and infected.

But there is definite isolation of symptoms to the areas mentioned, epididymis and seminal vessel. The pains nearer the bladder are too high up to be prostate. I had the exact same pains when I had the tests done on the prostate, and those test (for the prostate) where negative.

The testicles themselves are fairly pain free, apart for the epididymis sensitivities. I sometimes feel I should be careful in touching or putting pressure on the area, in case that might force some liquid out of the area into the bloodstream, but in the end, I don't think that that actually happens.

[daveman]

Do you relate to any of this?
Do you understand basically what I am getting at?

Yes Dave, thanks I'm fine.

I teach meditaton and help cancer patients with pain control.

Pain or tension in my case is not really an issue. The pain in the area mentioned isn't even all that bad. I just mention it to describe the sequence. The POIS itself is worse, and lately even that hasn't been all that bad with the approach I've been taking.

I'm fairly sure I've got an immune system reaction. Soon I will begin approaches at solutions through the medical system, but I'm just trying to finish up a more detailed evaluation beforehand.... somehow I don't have the faith I had before. [] I'm somewhat interested in this progesterone / pheremone phenomenon too.

Thanks

Defsync, thanks for posting this and sending it to me via Private Message.

I just sent two letters, one to Dr. Eberhardt and one to Dr. Rizza, two of their Endocrinology Researchers, asking for their help to research POIS.

Thanks again.

Thanks demo!

An updat - I think I found my 90% cure. The progesterone is still working - two weeks of sucess and several tests.

Limejuice, this is exciting news!!

Limejuice, could you remind us of what your POIS symptoms and POIS duration were prior to your success with progesterone, and what the symptoms and duration are now, with progesterone?

Fantastic!!!

My symptoms were mostly cognative in nature that I felt impacted me physically.  My big three symptoms were brain fog (difficultly communicating, concentrating, focussing) apathy (no emotion, difficulty sympathizing with others, not caring), and sleep issues.  The duration before progesterone was 1.5 to 2 weeks and now it's a few hours with a fraction of intensity.

LJ,
how are you taking it? i.e regular 1-2 tablets a day?
or just whenever needed i.e one-off higher dose as an 'O' recovery aid/'pick-me-up'?
what were your progesterone scores when tested previous?
thanks

(i dont get the theory of it yet, can someone try and explain it? .. you know, why the female hormone needs bumping up in pois..i get kinder get the low testosterone theory/relate to that more...mmm..

sorry.. im thinking aloud..but men famously after sex/O are known for not caring too much for cuddling etc.. a sort of "no need for women now" feeling (i certainly feel that for a while not days though), women on the other hand crave cuddling after ..perhaps the feelings you are describing about not caring/apathy continues on for too long because of some hormonal deficiency , perhaps caused by a problem with a gland (which one I wonder?) causing the pois too? just a thought..

My progesterone levels were never tested - it was prescribed based off an article.

My intake is really irregular in that sometimes I take specifically before O and sometimes I'll take a random 5mg.

Why do you ask?

[prism]

well i guess if they were low it would explain why you feel better on hormone replacement.

there is no need to test progesterone, the test results has no range in terms of between certain levels. 
All the test does is check that you dont have above certain amount.
I have done progesterone test, and dosnt do more than tell you are not a girl

[demografx]

i dunno if these articles are of any interest to anyone in relation to getting research done (doctors names etc).

Thanks, db! I just wrote to your 2nd link's researcher, his email is listed.

daveyboy, do you have any idea how we might find emails for the first group of researchers?

The study looks very interesting! Thanks again!

[prism]

yeah, sorry, i just deleted it by accident- i thought the links werent working and was thinking of another way, 
but they are!

[prism]

yeah I just tried yahoo search "Michael S. Exton" phd- he's done loads of sexual research, there must be a way to get hold of these doctors, must be a list at some national institute somewhere!

[demografx]

db, we already wrote to Dr Exton.

Thanks Demo!

What would you say is a good overall regimine then, now that you've experimented a bit, and if you had to try to formalize a program?
