Hi FB
Yes I am suffering quite a lot, you dont just do an orchiectomy for fun... and I had to do it against the will of my local doctors, had to go abroad, convince a doctor there, and pay cash. It was always a very clear possibility that the procedure would not be successful in alleviating my POIS symptoms, but there is always hope... At least now I do have physical proof that there was an actual inflammation, something that I could not prove before. So whenever anybody tries to sell me acupuncture or psychological evaluations as a treatment for a proven inflammatory process again, I do have a valid reason to send them to hell
Concerning progesterone, no I did not try that and I wont in the short term. Having only one testicle left, TRT, 'sperm reduction', or anything else that might impact my fertility or hormone levels are way down towards the scary end of a potential list of remedies to try
It does not fit with my special case, where I am experiencing symptoms manifesting themselves on one side of the body only, or at least predominately. After one week of abstinence I ejaculated yesterday and today my right groin area is on fire... together with increasing liver pain. It seems to emanate from the area where my testicle joins the body, and there is no testicle on this side anymore... the other side is painless. I have no explanation and no idea but in my specific situation it does feel very much like there is a specific physical cause for all this on the right side of my body only, somewhere in my abdominal / groin area. I thus first want try some immunosuppressive and possibly antibiotic regimes before testing other hormones, nutritional supplements etc.
I just started with 60mg Prednisolone today, will probably continue for a week and than taper down. I will keep you posted about any positive/negative effects...
