alright guys, i tried dicoflenac and nsaid antiinflammatory drug in one of the research papers, i used it at night so i can go right to sleep i woke up the next day no fatigue. My prove i went to work about two hrs early on about only 5 hrs of sleep. Usually am rushing so every minute counts and usually about to be late to work.
Since it works so great the first night time i tried it again on the second night and still no fatigue next day 8,30hrs of sleep. In normal pois i should have paid dearly for it. The nextime i try it i will try two big O's back to back(that is a killer).
if this drug keeps working i am going to be convinced pois is all immune system.

I and other members tried a different type of NSAID's. But it doesn't help much. Did you take 2 sorts of NSAID at once?

I also get very sensitive to light and sound while in pois in addition to being more vain and concerned about my physical appearance. Recently I've begun to think that the physical symptoms of pois might be related to how the penis becomes hypersensitive to touch immediately after ejaculation except with pois all the body's senses become elevated.

I get very sensitive to light and sound as well which sucks being a developer.  Maybe all the elevated senses is overloading the brain causing the brainfog although I would htink it should make us super smart during POIS!

A lot of us are sensitive for light when in POIS. Sometimes when I am in POIS and I am driving on the highway I get angry against someone behind me. Then I think the driver behind has his big lights on. But that's just my sensitivity for light. Then I give him the big lights too. Later I realized it's the POIS.

What research paper?

Also, I am about to stop my testosterone treatment after 3 weeks of trying it out.  Tomorrow I'm gonna try just an extra bit more of a dose, then I'm done if nothing happens.  I had no improvements, and experienced strange loss of cognitive function like forgetfulness and difficultly reading.

I'm seeing my psychiatrist on Monday, she is super helpful and I'll be sure to mention to her all the different things people are trying to beat POIS.  I got in contact with a major allergy lab (Greer Labs) about doing the ***** test Waldinger-style, but they said they would need a doctor to call on my behalf to go any further with it (they say they do primarily environmental allergens, but it says they do custom stuff on their website)

I wonder how much it would cost to get a student or company to develop a 'generic' oral immunotherapy drug for semen allergy?? a generic POIS drug trial? or student project!? (surely cant be that difficult?)

After all there are now hayfever and many other oral immunotherapy drugs..
http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/01/17/us-milk-allergy-idUSTRE50F6Q920090117

more on oral/Sublingual immunotherapy (& above other types of treatment)
http://www.allergy-clinic.co.uk/more-about-allergy/desensitization-immunotherapy/


Vandemolen, maybe you should ask your doctor to look further into which proteins you are allergic to. Do you remember that video with Dr.Bernstein? with women he does a blood test to find out which proteins within the semen they are allergic to and makes a serum for that. maybe finding out which proteins are you allergic to may tell us more about POIS or at least you more about your own health.

There is a woman who postst on different forums the same. That she had a semen allergy and that she had a rush desensitization. She was cured in 1 day. unfortunately she reacts anonymous. So I can't ask her more questions. And she posted exactly the same message on a few forums, so I don't know she speaks the thruth.
And another thing: maybe the treatment of a semen allergy on men and women is not the same.

Bernstein does his procedure all on one day (many injections) but its very expensive.

At normal desensitization there is a small chance for a shock. That's why patients have to stay one hour at the clinic after an injection. The chance of a shock is very big at rush desensitization. That's why patients have to stay a few nights at the hospital.

Brand new experiment

It's Day Zero: I just tripled my normal testosterone dose, and also increasing stimulant dose.

Will report back!


I think it worked. It's about 10 hours later.

But I'm always leery of the "placebo effect".

OK, another update on the Silodosin.

I started a few days ago with a 12mg "one-off" dose, waited a few hours, had an O with no fluid leakage and no POIS. Had gf assisted O that night, pre-ejaculate leakage but no semen resulted.

Took the standard 8mg dose the following day, another O, no fluid leakage.

Took another 8mg dose the following day. By now I was feeling very "highly strung", sexually tense, I don't know the correct term. I could feel that my body (and brain) REALLY wanted to get rid of some semen. Sure enough, my next O resulted in a small amount of semen leakage. Another unplanned gf O later that night resulted in pre-ejaculate but not semen.

My experience of Silodosin so far is that if your mind/body is desperate to ejaculate, Silodosin won't do enough to stop it, although it will greatly decrease the volume of semen ejaculated. Keep in mind that I have not properly ejaculated now for a 3-4 weeks, which is probably an all-time record for me.

Every time I have had an O when I have felt reasonably relaxed, it's worked perfectly. It's only the occasions when I felt tense that Silodosin didn't do its job.

alright guys, i tried dicoflenac and nsaid antiinflammatory drug in one of the research papers, i used it at night so i can go right to sleep i woke up the next day no fatigue.

What research paper?
Postorgasm Illness Syndrome—A Spectrum of Illnessesjsm_1707 1976..1981
Jane Ashby, MRCP, and David Goldmeier, MRCP
First Case.

I only used dicoflenac, but according to wiki it is strongest nsaid accross the board.
I have tried over the counter naproxen with no help, in a weeks time i will try again without dicoflenac but right now i wanna see if i heal quicker.

NIGHTNALE; it is okay if i contact greer lab to see if they have similar lab closer to where i live, am asking because i dont to mess up what you have going on then.
I think i have at least two doctors that will be willing to call it in for me.
Does insurance cover something like that.

We've all talked about the horrendous POIS symptoms that last forever...have we found any information on what "normal" orgasm does to people...afterwards?

Is it just a short-lived drowsy glow, or is there more to it than that?

Demo, were you a moderator on this forum before to the POIS thread started? (if you were, maybe pois isnt that rare, i mean, what are the chances..).

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question?

before john21 posted the first POIS question, were you already a moderator on the forum, or did you become a moderator after that post?

Im asking because, what are the chances that an existing moderator has the same "rare disease/problem" which somebody asks about... behind the reason for the question is trying to get a sense of how rare POIS is/or not...
a rare disease is defined as fewer than 5 people per every 10,000 people...

That's how my POIS comes about.  It's delayed by a day or two.  Mostly anyways, one time I started shivering and had the flu at the exact moment I had the O.

I've not had fever in POIS for quite a while, but runny nose and weak vision always occurs, I also get speech issues such as stuttering and stammering whilst in POIS and my normally deep voice becomes that of a prepubescent teen lol. POIS is very strange like the gentleman in the latest POIS paper by Dr. Waldinger, I too have a photo phobia I get very depressed and my throat tightens up upon someone taking a photo of me, and it becomes difficult to breathe, must be psychosomatic, it's pretty extreme. Apart from hiding under pseudonyms and avatars, I personally, genuinely don't have any photo's of myself anywhere, I burnt all of them some time ago, I never had this problem when I was younger and before POIS.

I don't have very many pictures either and get annoyed when people take them.  I don't know why. 

Very interesting. I should clarify that "photophobia" is hypersensitivity to light, not hypersensitivity to photographs.
I've noticed that I have extreme cases of photophobia while in POIS. I can hardly open my eyes on a sunny day. It's even true on somewhat cloudy days. It's literally painful.
I believe Waldinger also mentions acousticophobia, or hypersensitivity to noise. This also happens while I'm in POIS. Hearing my cellphone beep or ring makes me want to smash it with a hammer. I get very angry very quickly, which NEVER happens while I'm out of POIS.

Very true for me also, whenever I'm out of POIS, I love music, it helps me concentrate and focus a little better when I'm doing work and whilst driving it's a must. The other week whilst in a heavy bout of POIS the phone rang pretty loud and I started a panic attack where my heart was pounding and fluttering, it's very hard to tolerate high noise levels in POIS, that's a symptoms that isn't hightlighted but seems to be common in quite a few of us.

Hello gentlemen
I do not have that phobia to light or sound... but this may be because I am used to the sun on the mediterranean; as a matter of fact I cannot live without sun. Does anyone have any sort of statistics related to POIS and skin color? Are there any dark-skinned memebers of this forum?
