I am really counting on Vandemolen to tell us hopefully in a couple of months if he is seeing any improvement as a result of his hyposensitization.
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.
Has anyone here tried consuming sweet potatoes to counteract POIS? This is one food that I had previously found a correlated with fewer symptoms. Sweet potatos are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties. This week I had an NE with resulting minor POIS symptoms. A few days into it I remembered this food and ate a bunch (the orange type) and the next day symptoms were gone. There are other possible reasons: I started taking some herbal prostate pills, and I also did some icing with a cold pack on the front pelvic area. I'm thinking that something in this mix helped me. Sweet potatoes would be an easy thing for others to try against inflammation if that is in fact our enemy.I thought we had discussed sweet potatoes in the past but my search for the posts came up rather dry.
Quote from: Willem on 19/04/2011 18:11:28Because 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.Interesting but weird! I had a pricktest AND a subcutaneous test just a month ago. The pricktest was negative whereas the intracutaneous injections were all positive. The 1:100 dilution gave a wheal as big as the histamine control and the doctor couldn't believe his eyes but dismissed the possibility of doing hyposensitization because he doesn't know if autologous semen injections always cause allergy-like wheals in ANY person. We had so to say no POIS-free 'control person' to compare with. I saw my doctor yesterday again and she said well your blood and semen values are all normal... I will prescribe pollen-allergy pills that generally suppress the immune system. Try them if you think it is allergy what you're suffering from, won't hurt to try.I am really counting on Vandemolen to tell us hopefully in a couple of months if he is seeing any improvement as a result of his hyposensitization.

I have the solution to POIS..... if only I could duplicate what happened last night!It's been 3 wks of abstenence, and I'm getting a little antsy. But I need a break! And besides, the last "O" was scary, I don't want another one of those for a while!!The wife and I played a little bit, but she knows I need a break, so we left it... there.But later in the night I began to dream. In the dream I was really hot, and was touching IT. But I knew I couldn't get serious, albeit, I saw that I was going overboard, and so put my all into a really good orgasm. I didn't wake up right away, but when I did, the first thing I did was "check".. and dry as a bone!It was a virtual orgasm, but seemed very real and satisfying. I really couldn't beleive that I hadn't really "O'd". I had to chack about 4 times. Sheets, pants, etc. Nothing.At worst I had a fair pressure in the prostate area, which is giving me problems right now anyways.But today I'm fine. It wasn't a dry orgasm, I'm fairly sure that I didn't REALLY didn't "O". But if I could do it again, I would.A dry NNE (Nocturnal Non-Orgasm)!!Perfect. And besides, in the dream, I was with my wife.... what more can you ask for?
Ok so I took a look at the list of collaborators and called Stephanie Putkowski at the Rare Disorders org. Wow!!! WHAT a nice lady! She was thrilled to have me call, and gave high marks to all the hard work that has been done here on the forums (special shout out to demo!) I asked her about finding me someone in the States who could help me with the skin ***** test. She is super excited about the TLC show, and in general really feels for all of us. I got teary-eyed after the convo. She will get back to me soon!

(Unlike Nocturnal Emissions, NE's, which caused vicious POIS for me).Unfortunately, "brain orgasm" only happened to me a very few times, spontaneously, and could never be intentionally created. But it was every bit as intense as the real thing.I'm really glad you brought that up. Maybe it CAN be cultivated, because it only happened to me after I started reading intensely about dreaming, particularly Lucid Dreaming, and ran across the very interesting concept of "brain orgasm".

I've noticed other people on the forum complaining of POIS induced digestive issues. Never made the connection before, but I wonder if POIS can cause poor absorption of vitamins/minerals. I took Mg tablets for over a year and they helped a lot because I think I was deficient. Potatoes are very rich in vitamins or minerals so I wonder if that's why they help so much.
Hi again guys,I'm trying to find the link to the page where all the sympathetic physicians/contacts are. I found it on that new forum/website someone here had created, but I can't seem to find it now. It's the one that has an IP address as part of the url?

Both your comments remind me of a book I read a while back which mentioned "lucid" dreaming- in which the author had some conscious influence over his dreams. I've heard this is something that can be cultivated too. And with the proper effort one can control one's dreams. The book was written by Richard Feynman- a famous physicist.

Thanks for sharing Carlitto, this probably exists somewhere, but I wonder if we shouldn't put together recommendations for people that are getting the test, like this:1) Sample: Fresh or Frozen? If you prefer frozen, get a sterilized cut from the allergist. Dr. Waldinger used frozen, and depending on how bad your POIS is, frozen can make scheduling a lot easier. 2) Controls: Bring a significant other so that the Dr. can determine if it's an allergen or just irritant.3) Concentration: Sounds like the higher the better. 1:1000 or 1:100 is normal, but for this test people on the forum have recommended higher like 1:1. You get the idea. It's pretty frustrating to have a POIS reaction and get no medical validation. Ha ha.
