OMG guys... Reiki is seriously the last thing that this thread needs. New age medicine has been debunked so many times it's wondrous that people believe in real effects and not just in a temporary psychosomatic fix. Yep.. the results of these treatments just never seem to last

There was a urologist, diagnosed prostatitis, ultrasound shows the scars. Maybe it has something to do? Tomorrow I will take the secret of prostate infection.

Exactly, makrofag, thanks for the support.

-I really want  to know exactly, by a scientific way, what caused my condition for such a long time so that I could explain to people "it was not in the head"

Amen to that. Apart from having POIS, the 2nd most infuriating thing is not having an accepted medical diagnosis.
There are no malingerers on this forum but I'm sure that some of us have been labelled as such by colleagues and friends who didn't understand what we're going through. That's a real tragedy.

Well said.

Yes. Fish oil and Krill oil. KO seems to have more of an effect but I've used 2 brands and the quality seems quite variable. What I mean by this is that one of the brands smells quite fishy (rancid?) and has little effect on POIS and the other has no smell and helps reduce symptoms. Given there's also large variability in price of KO (the less smelly brand is twice the price of the other one) I decided to look for alternatives.

Has someone tried immune supression?

Hello guys!

I am 23 years old. Generally i masturbated a lot 5> times per day.I had several and severe problems with headache , depersonalization, brain fog all related things.
That lead me to depression. What helped me was acupuncture. Today i am lot better than then but still not like i should be.

I had always trouble with social contact etc. Before some years i felt that masturbation might cause me that fatigue and all related stuff. When i quit it for a week and with meditation and reiki , i felt lot better ,amazingly better. I found a girlfriend after two years within that week and was lot more social and smarter.

However , although i had sex i masturbated too much. I have many of the symptoms after ejacuation.. My mind stops working , i have almost nothing to say , feel lazy and cant help it (even having a deadline for work). This week i decided to try to live again more normal life. After 1-2 days of absistence i was feeling lot better. But after having sex i felt like hit by a bus. It was a sudden return. Within this week i have ejacuated one time only because of sex. Before finding this i was looking at over masturbation sites..
I have noticed that Monster energy drink that has B vitamins helps but has caffeine which makes me nervous. I tried niacin and felt better.. I am going to try niacin before sex to see if anything changes.. Generally i feel that i need 1-2 days for recovery..
I dont know what i should do but this thing keeps me back.My plans is niacin before sex and serious work with my self (meditation etc) and start excersising again. Also i think that i should find a good naturopath and test my hormones.
What helps me is eating meat, and B vitamins and abstaining and meditation.. Maybe all i have is sexual exhaustion because i masturbated more than 5 times daily and worked 12-15 hours per day ..

hey guys, quick question, is there anyone experience POIS symptoms located in Montreal, Canada? If so please contact me.

Hope to hear from you.

[thereishope]

I am really sorry guys, I have a confession to make and I hope no one takes it seriously. I we have remind guys that post about how depressing their lives are and start focusing more on the facts we have, solutions, ideas, symptoms and what might make this better.
Please guys no more depressing sh1t, lets step it up a notch and get to the bottom of this. We need less of a passive voice and more of an actionable voice. Everyone should speak up, opinions and ideas matter. Last but not least, lets make focus groups. In other words, we should put together groups of POIS sufferers and meet on a regular basis and meet each other physically. I don't know how were going to do this but I know if there's a will there's a way. Goodluck to everyone, stay strong!

I've been taking 2-3 fish oil pills per day for about 3 years now.  I have dry eyes that this helps tremendously with.  Also, my fingers get very sore when I don't take the fish oil.  The fish oil reduces inflammation in the tendon sheaths in my hand (my rheumatologist confirmed this).  Fish oil must be taken for 2 months straight before full effects kick in.

Does fish oil help my pois- not in a significant way.

Finally by Gods grace, I found this Lady in florida, who worked on me and cleared over the phone for last six months ..

Nathan123, tatvamasi - thanks for sharing your experiences.  Positive or negative, questionable or not, I think it's helpful for us all to share experiences that we've tested more than a couple times.

I have recently had my own Alternative medicine experience I'd like to share.  I've been seeing a NAET acupuncture specialist for the last few weeks.  For those unfamiliar, NAET is a form of acupuncture which is supposed to cure/treat allergies.  NAET isn't based on any scientific reasoning, so I was skeptical from day 1.  That said, my insurance covered most of the visits, and I've tried so many other things, I thought I'd go for it.  I don't really have the energy to write up my whole experience seeing this lady, but today was the big day that I was tested for semen.  I went through the short procedure hoping it'd help.  Alas, I've still got exactly the same amount of POIS as I had going in there.  The only positive thing I can say about NAET is that I can cross another treatment option off my list, and that the sessions were super relaxing and the lady was very kind.  But NAET didn't help.

Also, I've seen a regular acupuncturist a few times as well.  He was of no help either.

Hi all,

it seems that I am one of the 45 people where the study was performed on and did the skin test (positive result). As there was not much found on the internet a couple of years ago, I gave up searching and was waiting for Dr. Waldinger's publications. After seeing a tv programme on TLC yesterday on POIS, it made me search the internet again and found several new sites on the POIS topic - including this one! Thanks for all you efforts!

It also motivated me to stop waiting and contacting Dr. Waldinger again.

I would like to share this with you - as you all have shared your life with me!
For me it also matters when I have an O. After sleep, I mostly am recovered.

• In the morning: I get more and more fatigue / ill / concentration problems / hurting eyes / headache / diffulculty finding words and it influences my social life. And have to sleep early to recover - next day mostly recovered.
• In the afternoon: same as above, but lighter.
• Ideal moment around 6-7 pm: not too much problems, but I fall asleep at 11pm, no matter what.
• After 9: all the symptoms as above but a more serious headache and even more tired the next day. Need to sleep to recover again.
• After 0:00: not a good idea to have sex & O. (but that's when the wife likes it the most)[\li]
  

Problems are getting worse over the years - now 45 and suffering for 20 or more years. I furthermore have light hay fever / allergic to mosquito bites / allergic to sun (skin).

And I almost forgot: i am hyper sensitive.

I don't have any solutions or relief found yet - but I am going to try Xyzal as I have it also for my hay fever - and some of the symptoms are the same.

I really hope 2012 is our year!

[Omen 30]

Yes,sleeping early helps me too...

[Habibou]

I also tried NAET without any success !
