Poll and discuss how long your POIS lasts and how quickly and gradually you restore.
-
As to me, I restore in 5-7 days up to 80-90%, but those 10-20% of symptoms left seem to be present for a very long time.
-
I can vary quite a bit.... sometimes 3 days, but not often. Usually 5 to 7, but I'm like you too, the joints can sometimes last 2 weeks.
-
Now : less than 24 hours with diet and low activity.
But 3-4 days before 2008.
-
How do I vote?
BEFORE treatment, my symptoms lasted 4 days (30+ years)
AFTER treatment, my symptoms now last 0 - 24 hours max. (Last 2 years)

I guess you just did! :)
But I'd say that in treatment doesn't count for this poll.
Maybe that would be good for a "How effective is your treatment? Poll"
-
I went for 1-2 days - this is with my Fenugreek treatment. Without, 4-5 days before I'm completely better.
-
for me it takes 3 weeks for a full recovery....
-
It takes about 2 weeks for me to recover to 98%. The remaining 2% takes a month to get back.
I don't feel any serious POIS effects until about day 2-3. Then I can tell when my voice changes.
I've found that zinc supplements, as high as 250mg in a day, along with omega 3 supplements helps recovery. Eating fresh sushi also helps, probably because of the high levels of fish oils. But it doesn't reduce the recovery significantly. Maybe just 3 days. Eating these before POIS can stave off the intensity of the symptoms. Personally, I think my body's testosterone levels or the use of it drops sharply.

i voted 3-4 days as that it how long it takes me to function reasonably well but its actually 5-7 days before i am pretty much 100% without symptoms so maybe 5-7 is a more accurate vote. In the last 3 weeks or so i have been experimenting with Niacin, its early days but it has improved my recovery period and once i had NO symtoms, seems to depend on the timing of taking the tablet and the existence of a flush.
