i think pois is all about low testosterone...

TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) cured my severe, 30+ years' POIS: 90%.

But there are fertility risks with this treatment.

Just an FYI []

[sebastiano]

Demografx, did you take testosterone for some time and then quitted or do you have to take forever?

In other words, after taking testosterone for some time, are you cured forever or it's like glasses (you must wear them all your life to see)?

Hello, went to hospital and talked with a sexuologue, she says that what i am saying is not possible, the only thing which can be explained is my severe back pain …
She said its not possible to get sick after ejaculation,
i explained that if I stop being sexual active for 1 month i don't have any problems at all.. but she says its not possible

what to do now… -.-

got any tips against the anxiety ? thats the main issue i got…

Thanks Lars

I feel for you Lars.

I was made a fool of when i made complaints about my problems.. Amazing that doctors can have such bad attitude towards investigating interesting symptoms.

Today, abstinence works. It will help you. Dont pay attention to society pushing for sexual stimulation every day. Relax and let the scientists solve this issue.

There are some things you can do meanwhile. Ask doctors to spread the word about POIS so that maybe someone will find it interesting enough to carry out research about.

Like glasses...

For those of you interested in my TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) for POIS:

My recent (Feb 7) testosterone readings...with a remark of "good!" by my doctor --
   
                                                        Range
Testosterone, Total         436            250 - 1100 ng/dL

Testosterone, Free          75.5           35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL


I take Androderm 8mg/day (2 T-patches), 365 days/year...for several years now.

If you're interested, check infertility risks with your doctor. My sperm count went to zero, possibly due to this treatment. But I have children already, so it's ok (for me).

no ejaculation for a long time, think it was some weeks at least.
had one mild this morning... instantly took 250 mg niacin and one loratadin...

10 minutes in I felt as if the room temperature dropped with 10 Celsius.
congested in nose
trouble breathing
tried some mild exercise, had some effect, got me warmer but nose congestion still there, and trouble breathing. it did improve circulation in body, which is good.

no trouble with eyes yet, often does come as first symptom.

trouble breathing could be side effect of loratadin.

will keep posting.

I will be presenting on my experience with POIS at the Stanford School of Medicine on February 6th as part of the "Engage and Empower Course" on patient engage.  Feel free to check out the live stream.

could you link to recording of this

Loratadin allergy pill and niacin worked quite well.

Quite few symptoms 24 hours into.

Still some poor breathing, but overall OK.

which one did you use first and how long did you wait before using the other.

What's the best thing you guys have used to alleviate symtoms? I'm new btw and know little but sadly I'm 100% sure I have POIS.

[Kima]

Handed over analyzes on of testosterone. After ejaculation of testosterone instantly falls. In laboratory experiments . That's why many people do not hunt again to get an orgasm.

I think the answer is almost close to unraveling this syndrome. Hopefully soon will help us all Professor Komisaruk.

[johanstefansson]

About 2 days in now and very few symptoms.

I think that the symptoms are very much less if one has a long break between ejaculations.
What does that mean? Someone enlighten me.

It seems the allergy pill had some effects but mostly niacin, good food and very mild exercise to get the body pumping. Maybe its not good to sleep after sex?

Took niacin and loratadin at same time, 5 min after ejaculation.

I would say its really fun not to have become as sick as usual, even though i have been outside in cold weather.

Hi guys, this is my first time here. I'm 20 years old and I've been dealing with POIS for about 3 years. My question is this - does anybody have any means of, pardon the crude topic, desensitizing themselves so they can perform sexually? Any way to be able to have sex without climax.

It's been an worry for me that if I get into a relationship I wouldn't be able to fulfill that part of it and I would hate for that to get in the way.

Thanks!

You can use a spray with lidocaine.It is used to overcome premature ejaculation but if you take the right amont of it you will not have climax.

Hello everyone
I am new to this forum.i am a member of poiscenter.com forum. I have POIS.
My thyroid results were normal but I have this constant brain fog even not during POIS.I read in many websites that people who have normal thyroid values but have brain fog were benefited by taking t3. I am going to try t3 even though I dont get it in my country.
I wanted to ask if anyone had success with t3

I have been suffering from this since I was 23 - great to finally find this forum.

During the worst times I had Parkinson's like symptoms (muscle twitches and shaking), severe depression and premature ejaculation.

One thing I have found that helps considerably is to take Omega 3, preferably fish based, the best quality you can find. I take 2 double potency capsules daily. When I stop, the symptoms are about 5x worse. I also find that exercise helps. Sex is also definitely preferable to masturbation, and if you are going to masturbate do so to an intense orgasm. This completely solved my PE and makes this condition manageable - although I still hate it.

I tried to take velvet bean supplements for a while because of their effect on the dopamine system but they made me totally hypersexed.

I find that when I am in the grips of this eating sugary things and caffeine also help.

Hello everyone. It has been some time. I hope everyone is hanging in there. I have a question for everyone.

I usually orgasm once every few months before bed only because too much energy builds up inside me and I feel restless. I have been taking niacin before orgasm and spirulina, vitamin c, zinc, and amino acids right after orgasm. This worked for a while and improved my symptoms but recently it has given me strange feelings. After I take these things recently I am up halfway through the night with head discomfort, and i cannot breath easy or relax. A lot of moving and head tingling/pressure that is horrible. It slowly subsides after a few hours and disappears after a couple of days.

I'm wondering in any of your opinions does it make sense to think that all those proteins and amino acids right after orgasm are affecting my brain? Maybe its too much for myself to handle and my body is trying to keep up with it. I feel burned out after. Anyone else have experiences like this?

[ClicheMaverick]

Greetings, all!

19, male.

You guys have no idea how relieved I am to find a group of people who seem to be dealing with the exact same issues I am. Of course, I'm also discouraged and fearful that there really isn't any answers to our problem quite yet.

I've spent the last couple hours reading as much as I could from this thread, looking for any ideas or suggestions for dealing with and fixing this problem. It still sounds like it's all kind of up in the air, however. If anyone could direct me to some pages from this forum with beneficial material such as coping with this issue, I would appreciate it.

Also, after reading all of your posts, I've noticed that I've experienced some rather unique symptoms. The shakiness, fatigue, and general drowsiness all do indeed occur directly after orgasm, and seem to last for the standard 3-4 days. However, I tend to have one big attack exactly 24 hours after orgasm. I can feel it coming, (usually due to anxiety, which I struggle with quite a bit) and I lay down in order to brace myself. It originates in the back of my head, right where my neck meets my spine, and it jolts my entire body. My muscles all tense up, and they feel as if they fill up with adrenaline. Everything shakes. I get extremely cold and clammy - my chest and arms especially. Absolute terror of death and of the unknown take over completely. I find it helps to rub my thighs with my hands vigorously (in order to get the blood moving?). These attacks last for about 5 minutes, but it happens multiple times during the one night. After I wake up the next morning, I'm back to that basic fatigue/drowsiness state, but it's a hell of a lot better, and it goes away within a day or two.

Has anyone on here posted any similar response to POIS?

So far, the only way I've found to fix these symptoms is to avoid all sexual activity completely. But I mean, come on. Who wants that?!

Thanks for your time, poisers.
