POIS Research / Re: Gather and Post Here Your Medical Tests Results - Discussion Thread

high transferrin saturation
...
Regarding high transferrin saturation, I've had a gene test for hemochromatosis which was negative.

Did you also measure ferritin?
What was your transferrin saturation?
Which genes were tested for hemochromatosis, can you say the exact results? You might have symptoms even with heterozygous mutations.

I just had some more general blood tests which I have done twice a year.
There are consistent patterns with my out of range blood tests, the ones of interest as follows:-

low neutrophils
high bilirubin (Gilbert's Syndrome diagnosis)
high transferrin saturation
low blood glucose
high testosterone
low PTH

Regarding low neutrophils, seems to be common amongst poisers. In my case I link it with all the recurrent infections I get.

Regarding high bilirubin, Gilbert's seems to be common amongst poisers.

Regarding high transferrin saturation, I've had a gene test for hemochromatosis which was negative.

Regarding low blood glucose, maybe this is just due to it being a fasting blood test.

Regarding high testosterone, haha, very deceptive. I'm built like a noodle and have the libido of a Panda. Low/normal testosterone levels seems more common in poisers.

Regarding PTH, I don't know much about it. My phosphate and calcium (adjusted) levels were normal. Does anyone else have low parathyroid hormone (PTH)? @Demografx - I read low PTH can cause tingling fingers and when I read this I thought of a symptom you mentioned in a post somewhere. I realise tingling fingers could probably be 100 other things but I wondered if you'd ever had your PTH tested?

I have low neutrophils. Very common amongst POISers. These have improved substantially for me though as I've worked on my protocol.

Interesting that you have high transferrin. I'm the opposite.

That's good you feel better after your shower with this shower gel Myagi. I'll probably stick with my ketaconozole shampoo for now but maybe I might try the one you recommend sometime. Best wishes with fixing your pois.

POIS Research / Re: Muon's Case

I was an eyewitness of a grand theft auto today. (stressful) Emotion triggered something in the middle of my head plus pressure in the lower part of the spine and upper leg weakness (rubbery legs). POIS isn't able to trigger this intensity of leg weakness anymore, it used to. Emotional trigger is at this moment way stronger than POIS when considering this specific symptom.

It helped some with pois, if do i one ejaculation but if i do multiple it doesn't. 
If i use antihistamines everyday they help with pois alot but i cant use them everyday because within a week they start to affect my short term memory. And this are the gen2 that are less likely to cross the BBB. Because of that i didn't try hydroxyzine daily just pre O.

Thanks, CP2!

Been a while since I took my B 150 Forte complex so took it tonight and felt better. So I think the answer long-term is to just take it at the right frequency. Somewhere between once every 1-4 weeks probably, and ideally take at a different time to meat and eggs to avoid any overmethylation problems. I also had highish homocysteine, so more than likely deficient or low in one of the B complex vitamins. My b12, folate, and b6 were adequate in bloods, but something in the B complex is definitely helping in the methylation cycle. The trick with much of this stuff is finding the right dose and frequency. I've definitely overdone B complex in the past, and eventually had side-effects in not tolerating methyl donors.
