Hormonal Causes and Treatments / Re: Testosterone

Not sure if/where to post...

Very simple I've said this before. Make your own case report/personal thread, like Demografx' case/personal thread. Just dump info into it bit by bit. You don't have to organize it properly from the start. Add a bit of info and organize it step by step if you have time and energy to do so.

I see that Quantum has put that section ('Personal POIS Summaries and Histories') under POIS Life Style ---> Lifestyle diary. I would like to see that cut out and have its own category and being placed under POIS Lifestyle but it may be fine as it is, problem is that it isn't being used properly. Perhaps it's not clear to people.

Anyway you can create your own personal thread in there. Make sure you reserve some posts if you need to expand and you may link that thread to your signature.

If you have a seperate category for this then you have only threads like these:

Name A' case
Name B' case
Name C' case
etc.

Muon, way back when I started my Magical TRT Mystery Tour, I had an MRI of the brain ordered by my endocrinologist, resulting in a find of Empy Sella Syndrome. Not sure if/where to post...

If you had the empty sella syndrome for a long period of time maybe chronically lower pituitary hormones made some body systems work bad resulting in POIS.

Huh? I thought you already used [Benadryl] to force sleep during mid-day, so you always forced sleep during the evening/night and slept through the night?

After reading your posts I decided to play this (right now!)

It’s now 3:30pm, 3 hours after taking 75mg Benadryl, and 3 hours after taking 8mg TRT - 3-4X my normal TRT dose.

No extended sleep but

• lots of rest (60-80% as good as sleep?)
and
• brief quick flashes of in-out sleep (very brief but DEEP)

Feeling very refreshed!

No POIS symptoms for now.

Those are difficult questions.

The hoarseness is also something I experience. I think this has little to do with dryness of the vocal cords, but more with muscle tension.

Look up "muscle tension dysphonia".

Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is one of the most common voice disorders. It occurs when the muscles around the larynx (voice box) are so tight during speaking that the voice box does not work efficiently.

I notice a lot of tension after orgasm, and there is tension in my neck and back, so probably also around the larynx.

I suggest that whenever you have this hoarseness, you try relaxation exercises or perhaps visit a masseur and see if this helps (in my case it does, but not always).

Also, I've found that during masturbation it is important to not tense up. I try to keep my neck, back, face, eyes, jaw, basically everything as relaxed as possible. Also I keep breathing (don't hold my breath), as I can seriously mess up my breath by not breathing "in" during masturbation. Strangely, I found that:

Breathing-in, then holding is ok

but

Breathing out, then holding is bad.

For me these rules then translate to less POIS and less tension after masturbation, which is good for the voice, so this might help you as well.

You’re right, I almost forgot...it’s only been the last 2-3X that I had difficulty. My above explanation I think explains why/why not daytime works.
