There has been a suggestion to post only the link to the welcome post when a new member introduces him/herself for the first time on NSF. However, there will be no generalizing of our WELCOME POST. Each new member will continue to receive a warm, personal welcome.DEMO

Have antihistamines worked for anyone? Though perhaps it is also depleting other things involved in immune reactions..

Each new member will continue to receive a warm, personal welcome.DEMODemo -- I'm a bit unclear -- couldn't you continue to give the warm, personal welcome, but one which would not need to list all of the lengthier listing of articles, google-searching, etc. I.e. there can still be a briefer, "Welcome, [specific person], etc." but then with a link to a designated place on the new forum that lists all the specific details? That would seem to preserve the 'personal' side, and cut down on the length.

Have antihistamines worked for anyone? Though perhaps it is also depleting other things involved in immune reactions..I was prescribed antihistamines (Allegra 180mg/day and Cyproheptadine 4 mg/day) and not only didn't they work, but I suffered from suicidal thoughts during POIS. I am convinced that the serotonin/dopamine levels are significantly suppressed causing the depression/brain fog/anxiety/anti-social symptoms we experience.
I like this [short Welcome Post] idea!
On the subject of contracting blood vessels causing headaches after male orgasm - this is something I was aware of way before hearing about POIS there's plenty on the web about it, such as:http://www.embarrassingproblems.com/problem/headache-during-sexMaybe it is all related and POIS is a stronger form of the same issue. But I cannot fathom the way this now works for me I am now in day four of POIS and seemingly have got slightly worse each day. Yet a week before I was fine on the day and next day was up and about at the local ice rink skating and feeling all but cured (as if by some miracle and nothing else). Alas it was not to be as POIS has had its vengance. Just does not make sense, I cannot see that I have an allergy with varying severity. I think something is triggered during orgasm and then needs to re-set - this may take a day or a week hence my experiences. Maybe the time for the blood vessels to settle back down. Just like nervous tension or panic attacks these things can last minutes or days for no good reason. I am currently so fatigued - I find a 10 minute snooze helps recharge me during the day, but a nights sleep seemingly does not? All so weird.Probably just the ramblings of a mad man - but we all still have POIS - so who knows...............is POIS a symptom with many different causes?
The welcome message contains important information that might be seen for the very first time, and may result in something great!IMHO, there's no reason to shorten the welcome message.Now let's please move on to more important topics. Like POIS. Thank you! []

It doesn't waste any time since it's not like you have to read the entire message each time you see it. Just takes maybe a second to scroll past it. But more importantly it provides new visitors all the info they need to know about the forum at a glance.

Instead, vasodilators (most beta-blockers) are used to prevent them.Remember that we had had some success with Niacin and Levitra, which have a vasodilatory action.So, we should look for beta-blockers with a powerful vasodilatory action. I have done some research, and Nebivolol seems to be the one that has less side effects (it does not cause erectile dysfunction). It is as effective as Metoprolol. I think Demografx is taking metoprolol, so he can tell us if it's helping. I recommended him to switch to Nebivolol. But i don't think a beta blocker is going to be 100% of the cure. But if we combine it with Niacin, and other hormones and vitamin supplements...maybe we can have a good combo.

It seems to me that you think POIS sufferers have at one time in each of their pasts had an above average frequency of orgasms/porn-viewing. I suppose this would have to be explored.
How much niacin are you taking everyday?
