Sorry for the question? Can you describe how do you do the bird bath? I am becoming mentally depressed now so much that I could not understand even normal things unless explained. I have both hot and cold shower problem apart from shaving the head or face. These things can cause symptoms as hard as POIS and my doctors say it is all in my head and I need psychiatric therapy.

I could not find a topic about Benadryl. But I also ordered it. It is not available in The Netherlands, so it has to be shipped. How do you use Benadryl? Do you take before or after O.

A bit offtopic but I want to report that Benadryl did not help me. Gives me a dry mouth, no better sleep.

demografx · « **Reply #645 on:** November 04, 2020, 10:39:41 PM »

Van, Muon and others have posted alternatives to Benadryl.

It works for me, but many people react differently.

No POIS but potentially a very important paper. Adding this to the testosterone section on page 1:

RESOLUTION OF SEASONAL ALLERGIES BY TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN A HYPOGONADAL MALE PATIENT: A CASE REPORT

Thanks, Muon!

This is exactly how my medical records describe me:
“HYPOGONADAL MALE PATIENT”

(I’m not medically-listed primarily as a “POISer” - - my endocrinologist is too conservative to profile me with just having POIS

)

With my newfound 30-day supply of TRT patches, I continue my old POIS treatment regimen.

It’s still working for me: today is POIS Day Zero (POIS symptom onset began this morning).

For details, read my recent posts at this Testosterone thread. I have been using this protocol (TRT + Benadryl - note: a Benadryl side effect for me is nightmares) for the last 10 years.

Can it work for you? That’s for you and your doctor to explore. We are all different.

Testosterone patches dramatically decrease your own production of testosterone. So once you started using patches, it will not help your own production so you have to continue the patches, or quit it and try to kick start the normal production with things on the list...[see link below]

The above paragraph from BoneBroth is an excellent
note of caution to everyone considering TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) - - which is what I have been doing for 10 years. I use testosterone patches, but this cautionary note applies equally to testosterone gel and testosterone injection.

BoneBroth’s list can be found at:

ps - TRT caused my sperm count to go to 0.00 - - I have grown children so that’s ok. If you’re considering starting a family, keep this in mind!

My POIS doctor it is weird that my testosterone went from 10 to 30 and then back to 15. The urologist said it is ok and sended me away. My POIS doctor also thinks it is strange that two immunologists I visited said it is ok that my IgM was too low. He talked about seeing a doctor in Belgium or Germany.

Have you looked into if these values correlate with changes in environmental temperature/seasons? Encountered this when looking for temperature dependence of acetylcholinesterase in humans. Not a human study but saw IgM being mentioned and remembered you told me about low IgM.

Probably the TRT is not only telling the testicles to stop produce testosterone, but also sperms.

drop247 · « **Reply #651 on:** November 23, 2020, 08:12:36 AM »

The only problem with that theory BoneBroth is there is a documented case of hCG alleviating POIS. hCG increases testosterone without lowering sperm production.

BoneBroth · « **Reply #652 on:** November 23, 2020, 05:31:47 PM »

Well is it only hCG in the TRT?

drop247 · « **Reply #653 on:** November 23, 2020, 08:14:22 PM »

Sorry I thought your post was about TRT stopping sperm production and therefore sperm allergy.

My new pharmacist found another 60-day supply of Androderm! (There’s a shortage. Pandemic-related?)

Theory: with POIS onset, there is a dramatic drop in testosterone. So I take 4x my average daily dose of Androderm testosterone patches to offset the T-drop.

365 days/year: I take 2mg/day
POIS onset: I take 8mg/day for the 1st 2 days

Benadryl: 50 - 75mg at POIS onset for “extra” SLEEP (this gets me through nastier symptoms rather quickly! Repeated as needed first 2 days/POIS)

It’s been 10 years of TRT-for-POIS protocol for me. It’s not perfect but I’m happy. Especially with my most recent tweaking, described above.

This is not a recommendation or endorsement for other POIS sufferers. I am only reporting my own personal experiments & experiences. It has risks.

Watch this webinar from today with hormonal expert dr Thierry Hertoghe. Very useful info on testosterone and HGF deficiencies.

Impossible to answer. Everyone is different. And no one knows if TRT will even work for you. At all.

It took my system a few weeks. But only for the very first application.
