Hi Bulls eye.
These forums, both Naked Scientist Forum and this one, present may different things that an help reduce symptoms. For some one set of things work well, for others, another set of things work.
Each one is a little different, but I've found, that if you can find a group of people within the forum that have similar symptoms to your, it is more likely that what they do to aleviate their symptoms will help you too.
One does have to watch diet and lifestyle, but mostly diet. There are things that can make you POIS worse, and things that can make it better. It's a matter of isolating one thing at a time and testing it for at least three POIS sessions. As you will see, even things like weather systems, or amount of sunlight can make relatively big differences. So if varyations in those happen while you are testing something they also have to be taken into account. So it;s not so easy to find the right combination.
But once you find it, you can often reduce your suffering by quite a bit. It takes patience but can be worth it.
In 3 to 6 months, you can be living quite a bit better with nothing more than control of your habits.
Meantime, actual cures are getting closer.
Dr. Waldinger wrote two key papers which have made a lot of impact. And while they are maybe not 100% definitive, they are the most specific in terms of an actual medical recognition AND solution.
Some other very good researchers are working on approaches similar and exciting.
We are raising funds to start a seed research program through NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders). In this we hope to reunite the 4 yrs of data and information that has been developed at the Naked Scientists Forum (NSF).
This forum was born from that one and is OUR forum, independant and soley for POIS. We hope to provide more focus in a future direction, less conjecture and more movement.
