NORD Research Grant

[Daveman]

Sounds promising. I hope he examines as many sufferers as possible. The wider the range, the better. Separate teams of people with mainly mental / mainly physical symptoms could perhaps help to faster establish a specific pattern.

Should look at:

Onset, during and in the immediate minutes of ejaculation
What happens with different levels of stimulation, pre-ejaculation for those that get POIS without full orgasm.
Should see what happens with niacin, for those for whom it helps and those that it doesn't
Effects of other relief programs
Should look at a progression through the 5 to 10 days recording symptoms against results.
Should of course test the same things with people who do NOT have POIS.

Etc!

FROM STEF RE TRAVEL TO NEWARK!

Hi All,

The following organization will help provide free air fare to and from medical centers within the USA. They also have a long-distance ground transportation program (i.e. bus, train) They require you to fill out their financial form -- to show that you qualify for their free services -- but they do not make this process difficult. 

It takes ~ three weeks for them to make arrangements, FYI.

They've been around for years and are a reliable, trustworthy non-profit organization --

National Patient Travel Center
4620 Haygood Rd, Suite 1
Virginia Beach, VA 23455
Homepage: http://www.patienttravel.org/
Email: info@nationalpatienttravelcenter.org
Phone: 1-800-550-1767

I hope this is helpful to those of you whose finances prevent your traveling to Newark, but are eligible for participation in the fMRi study.
