...Recently the chest pains has been increasingly worse and make me fear having an attack, sometimes the pain spreads down my arm. In fact this past weekend I ended up going to hospital after feeling pain in my chest which made me feel very worried but I was told the usual thing that nothing is wrong (which I have been told by several doctors over the years). Palpitations are another problem and these are very inconsistent but uncomfortable when they happen, I can feel my heart beating through my chest without needing to put my hand on it. In fact I can usually just look down and see my chest moving up and down with each beat. ...I am desperate to find a solution to this problem as I feel that it has held me back so much in life including socially, physically and probably my drive to have a more successful career. My wife is very patient but as you can imagine it takes it's toll on and our sex life and our day to day interaction.
Hey Joyrex very nice write up on your story. I notice you mentioned having day dreaming problems soemthing I get but havn't read too many others having. Have you noticed an increase in pois symptoms after day dreaming? This is something I don't understand. Yes, pois causes through whatever chemical imbalance a lack of concentration usaully so bad you can't stop yourself from day dreaming to save your life that I get, however why does my pois symptoms get worse after day dreaming? I find after day dreaming I can feel the muscle tension in the head and neck get worse and the blood flow around the head constrict. The worse the constriction the worse the pois. when I go to the gym and workout I can feel the pressure on the arteries in my head and the more I get them to relax and open up from excercising the less the pois symptoms. Why is this happening?

Why is this happening?I guess by "day dreaming" I mean my thoughts drifting away from the present moment and place. This is more usual when I am in a company of other people, or when there are a lot of people speaking around me at the same time and I have trouble picking up any single speaker or voice. Concentration difficulties, like you say.I also get relief for my symptoms from heavy excercise (when I sweat like a pig and my heart is racing at maximum). I suppose the feel-good hormones that are then produced, mask almost all the symptoms. Or at least the symptoms don't feel so bad, although they are present (absent-mindedness, irritability etc). This relief might last for the passing day, but symptoms return slowly but surely on the following day.I don't think I could say my symptoms get more severe after day dreaming. Rather, day dreaming is a coping function of my brain that lets it loose from the social and intellectual pressures, when I cannot meet those demands that come from the outside world.But I could imagine that if one feels the outside demands high and has a relief for them via day dreaming, for example, there might be a negative after effect. That being the feeling of letting down others for not meeting their demands, being a slacker, so to speak. Further, this might exacerbate the POIS symptoms when one feels the need to push itself more to meet those demands, trying to make up for one's "downtime" and slack, although the body is not up to it. It's like trying to walk with a broken leg.You mention neck tension and somehow being aware of blood flow in your head - I have these also. I would categorize them as symptoms of fight-or-flight response of the body (although I'm not sure). That is, when under the weight of POIS symptoms, the outside environment feels threatening, since you have so many demands to respond to, but your body is again not up to it.I admit it's rather difficult to say and figure out which symptom is related to what or is caused by what. It's such a chaotic state your body is in.
i recently donated blood.i o'd five times in one week.i was feeling less fatigue.yesterday i o d again but the symptoms hav returnd to a considerable amount. One more thng i slept(i was ful moon and i wantd to flirt with my babe undr cold moonlight lol) one night in my lawn .although i slept like 4 hrs and i had o d that day.the next morning i woke up fresh.i usually it takes serious will effort to move frm my bed in the morning. It was an amazing thng.has anyone testd these . . .demo . ?
About the scratch test.... If we have a reaction to sperm, I don't think it should matter if we are in POIS or out of POIS during the test. Indeed, we supposedly go from no POIS to "in POIS" by a reaction.
Quote from: CCconfucius on 25/01/2011 20:09:17Does anybody else have sperm in their pee after abstaining from the big O for a while and still recovered 100%. I think this might be the reason why am not recovering all the way, may be there is still minute inflammation. I do get this too. I think I had an O and at the time not noticed it. Then when you pee you notice the sperm. It's like an NE but then during the day. Could also be seminal leakage; I guess it's also related to premature ejaculation; some here mentioned that due to arousal they also get pois symptoms; I think it's the same here; the excitement just opened the gateway a little bit. I searched for this on the net and this could be due to high dopamine/high adrenaline/low serotonin and high histamine (though not confirmed). For now I'll try antihistamine as this also fights allergies. I actually had my pee researched a while ago. For a while I had the same as some other member mentioned; cloudy pee a few days after O and then feeling much much better. So I peed in a bottle, couldn't see through the bottle anymore and the next morning there were clouds in it. So took it to GP. He scared me first, he tested it at his office and said he found blood and then said it might be cancer. But in the afternoon he called me and said the lab couldn't find anything. But I was high in something that had to do with kidney stones, but still in normal range.

Indeed, we supposedly go from no POIS to "in POIS" by a reaction. Hmmm, I'm not sure whether it matters or not. My sense was that the scratch test does not necessarily bring about a full-blown POIS episode--I thought the 'positive reaction' meant a welt on the skin. And, in that regard, it seems possible that there could be a different sort of reaction depending on whether the body is already in 'antibody attack mode' (i.e. in the middle of a POIS episode).
Hi : Long term POIS sufferer - avidly following the POIS related news on this Forum.I'm wondering how a vasectomy would help/hinder. This is how wikipedia describes it: "..When the vasectomy is complete, sperm cannot exit the body through the penis. Sperm are still produced by the testicles, but they are broken down and absorbed by the body. Much fluid content is absorbed by membranes in the epididymis, and much solid content is broken down by the responding macrophages and re-absorbed via the blood stream. Sperm is matured in the epididymis for about a month once it leaves the testicles. After vasectomy, the membranes increase in size to absorb and store more fluid; this triggering of the immune system causes more macrophages to be recruited to break down and re-absorb more of the solid content. Within one year after a vasectomy, sixty to seventy percent of vasectomized men develop antisperm antibodies.[6] In some cases, vasitis nodosa, a benign proliferation of the ductular epithelium, can also result.[7][8] The buildup of sperm increases pressure in the vas deferens and epididymis. The entry of the sperm into the scrotum causes sperm granulomas to be formed by the body to contain and absorb the sperm which the body treats as a foreign substance."Is there a way to measure the antisperm antibody count? Are we suffering froma lack of these?
