am confused.
Daveman are you saying viagra alone works for you like levitra helped demo or do you have to combine it with niacin.
Do you know if there is a relationship between niacin and viagra, you said viagra increased your flush.
Viagra was researched for blood pressure and niacin is used for heart problems right.
They are both patent vasodilators...effect might combine for better efficiency...it could indicate that POIS is du to an abnormal vasoconstriction mecanism subsequent to orgasm
In my case the effect "Overcombined". My next test will be without the niacin.
It could well be that the viagra and or niacin work because they influence the vasoconstriction mechanism. That' something that has been proposed here and on NSF for some time.
And it's great for those of us for whom it works.
Now we just need to find out why we have an abnormal vasoconstricition response to orgasm. There have got to be hundreds of possibilities, and just about as many different afflictions.
viagra causes facial flushing, that will explain the enhanced flushing you experienced. I try to find why viagra causes flushing but all i can get were opinions that vasolidation itself causes the facial flush.
may be looking into using vasolidator that does not cause flushing through pgd2 and serotonin like niacin does will explain alot.
Slavr website's goal is to find the cause of vasoconstriction but that diagnostic list looks expensive and he did not provide evidence that those things cause vasoconstriction.
It's very complicated, CertainlyPOIS, Their goal is to find the cause of the vasoconstriction for each individual.
They claim there is no root cause, that is, that there is no one cause of the vasoconstriction for all, that the v/d follows a different mechanism for each person (or maybe group of persons). And the latter could well be true. But the former is NOT.
Their research is very superficial. I'm sure they don't feel that way of course, having put in whatever it is they have put in, but they just haven't scratched deep enough. The "machine", the human body, particularly in the area where POIS is involved is extremely complex.
What they may be able to determine (and nobody really knows yet if they can) with those thousands $$ of medical tests is through what chains of processes your vasoconstriction occurs, and try to break the chains. Something that several have been fooling with in the same non-professional way on NSF for some time now. Let's say they find
your solution (for example), just like niacin or B-Complex or fenugreek, it won't be workable for others. So you go home, happy, but the rest of the world goes without.
We know that niacin "breaks the chains", but we aren't going around changing the name of the condition and claiming we've found the panacea for POIS.
What they are missing, is that something specific makes
US with POIS, (not CFS or adrenal fatigue or anything else) have an
atypical response to sexual stimulation. They confine it to vasodilation/vasoconstriction, but aside from their nice graphs,
there's nothing to show that vasodilation/vasoconstriction is the complete extent of the problem, nor near the root.
I'd venture a guess that something like the flue or a cold (examples) but any number of things could cause a similar sensitivity in the vascular system. They are ameliorating a symptom.
If what they are trying to do is use your money for research to find a root cause,
YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT. You are going to put even MORE money into research
guided by lay-persons, to do something that
is already being undertaken by TOP MEDICAL EXPERTS IN THE WORLD. AND WHICH WILL BE
SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED AT POIS.
Mixing it in with a bag of worms for a half dozen other infermities doesn't help the matter at all. If anything it takes the focus off of the solution for POIS.
