Hi all,
I am in my late 20's and I've been suffering from this my entire life, at least as long as I can remember. This has been incredibly enlightening and encouraging for me to confirm that the experiences I have had have not just "all been in my head". In fact, I didn't even realize that my symptoms came from POIS until I read about them in this forum. I had discovered that mb and O did cause depression and other related issues and I was even pretty certain it caused my shoulder and my back pain but until you see it all together like this you really have no idea... I figured it was a spiritual and psychological issue that having an o without marriage and commitment would make one depressed. Who knew how many chemicals we need running in the body just to make us feel well and normal, it really is a wonder of nature!
I remember being in middle school and wanting to kill myself, which I'm sure isn't out of the ordinary for this. I was really out of it for most of my youth, it was like a giant daze for me.
I am in my late 20's now and been pretty celibate (or as much as I can) for about 8 years. Several years ago, lead by my heart, I felt to give up women and dating entirely! I found such peace and inner-fulfillment, even when I think about relationships I usually will get a pain in my heart and a type of brain-fog or stickiness in my mind.
I've started to take niacin, which I believe I must have been deficient in and find relief with it in the short term but usually have to keep reapplying it for several days as I begin to get headaches and brain fog again.
Nice to meet you all,
DS
