Hello everyone.
This is a new thread I intend for compilation of cases from The Facebook group
Mast Cell ("Activation") Disorders and comparison with POIS.
So the first case that I encountered, was when I asked members after introducing my self, POIS and this forum, if anyone gets a trigger attack after orgasm, there was one case where a woman contacted me and said that she does get symptoms after orgasm. She says that she experiences a vareity of physical and neurololgiol symptoms ranging for numbness down her legs, tingling, neuropathy, mental foggyness and insomnia. It lasts for her about 5-7 days until it heals up. She was diagnosed with MCAS with elevated Tryptase levels. She also recently tested for her TSH and it was elevated. I gave her the link of this forum hopefully she'll join us soon.
I will do further investigation in the FB group to see if anyone else has and attack after orgasm.
Update #1: She says she has lyme disease, she also mentioned that suffers from POTS.
Update #2: The Second Case:
The parallelism between POTS in POIS and MCAS was also observed: I have observed many times that people in the group complain of POTS, and while I did post a poll, it wasn't a successful one though it was still in line of what I observed, perhaps a better poll in the future will be more constructive. Here's the poll:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1489732487968980/permalink/2261582150784006/I asked weather people would say that they have POTS and the results were: 11 votes yes, and 4 votes no.
Investigation shall continue.
Update #3: The Third Case:
So after the first poll which was kind of unsuccessful, a second poll, this time addressing the issue of Orgasm directly was posted.
I asked "Do you get a trigger attack after orgasm or any sexual activity?"
Results were:
1- 21 votes voted: Sometimes
2-17 votes voted: No
3- 11 votes voted: What is sex -Hilariously-
4- 5 votes voted: Yes
I'll try to contact those who said yes and see what exactly do the suffer from.
Here is the poll:
