Hey guys, new to this forum. Been a POIS sufferer for 7 years, 32 years old. Thanks for all the info. My symptoms:POIS seems to affect my muscles and nerves the most. Right after orgasm whatever muscles I've been using at the time start to ache. POIS lasts for about 1 week and during that time my body can't seem to repair muscle or nerve damage so I get repetitive motion injuries and can't lift weights. Mild brain fog (though I'm loathe to admit it). Treatments I've tried that worked:1) For over 1 year MgCl worked very well. Didn't stop my reaction, but seemed to help my muscles and nerves recover faster. Can't take it any more as it upsets my stomach and is no longer effective. 2) Currently on Claritin after reading the Jan publications on POIS. It's working the best of any treatment I've tried. Still feeling fatigue, but seeing about 80% improvement in muscles and nerves.Tests:Was tested by an allergist doing subcutaneaous injection at (I believe) 1/100 and 1/1000 dilutions using my wife as a control. I tested negative for the skin reaction (same as my wife), but had the same immediate muscle aches, which leads me to believe that it is an allergy.

Even if it is effective, it would seem difficult to optimize the dosage and time span of treatment. If it worked for POIS it might be years before a specific treatment plan could be recommended.It would be boring to lose 1 or 2 years more. I think more and more to do the dilution and injection myself. Saline solution and syringes are available in pharmacy. Type I diabete sufferers do their own insuline injections. The dilution is the difficult point. But if CCC made a test with not diluted semen, maybe there is few risk for a lot of us (if not extreme flu-like symptoms case).

These nerve and muscle symptoms parallel mine very well. Lately, very simple things like operating a wrench on a simple plumbing coupling or lifting my nephew once or twice so he can "fly" produces a sensation of muscle damage for several days. Not just stiff, but as though there were damage to the tissues. In several days it goes away though.Also, when I lifted weights (25 yrs ago), I had injuries in the inner elbows, where the muscle attaches to the bone, when I did some weight excersizes. These come back now with POIS and last up to 2 wks. Similar pains at other union points (muscle to bone).
Hi all.With all this no sperm talk with people with pois imreally worried about my future chances of having children.Can anyone ease my fear about this?
@demografx Thank you very much for the research synopsis and google search tips. I purchased copies of the articles by Dr. Waldinger, but wasn't aware of the hormone research. Thanks again.

Probably takes my wife and me an extra couple of months due to lower frequency, but that's nothing. Have three boys ages 5, 3, and 1.
Hi, everybody.I am a 20 years old male from Romania, who suffer from similar symptoms from when I was 17.I have cognitive, psychological and physical symptoms, and they are very debilitating, and some of them are long lasting. I never found a true relief from then. I have posted a comprehensive history about my condition on the POIS forum. I tried to copy that post here but there was an error.I want to thank all of you for maintaining the POIS sufferers informed with the latest news, and to thank for spreading out info about this illness.emi_b
Because of my negative reaction on the allergy test, the allergist doesn't think a subcutaneous immunotherapy makes sense. I'm tempted to do my own home dilution and sublingual immunotherapy. Has anyone out there attempted this? I apologize I haven't read through all the posts.
Hi, I saw my doctor today. He read partly the result of the doctor Waldinger's reseach. He found the conclusion very interesting. He thinks that the idea that it would be an allergic reaction is probably the right cause. He had my father and my mother as a patient. Both of them had an immunologic desease. I'm doing asthma, i'm allrergic to any king of smoke. I'm allergic also to some chemical that they put in clothes. He suggest to me to try 10 mg of prednisone 6 hours before intercourse. He thinks that it must be an inflamation somewhere. To have an alergy, the semen have to reach the blood. An inflamation is a door for the semen to get into the blood. Is there some of you is taking prednisone or something like that? Thank you.
I think the allergic reaction is causing the inflammation, not the opposite. And we suppose the door for semen might be the urethra or vas deferens by blood vessels or a tissues.
