Interesting about Clomid. My POIS came in a period when my weight went 20 kilo’s (44lb) up. I used to play soccer 3 times a week. And I ate at home. Eveyday a fresh made meal from my parents. I was skinny but healthy. Then I graduated from the university and got a job. I stopped with soccer and ate fastfood and pasta. And I live in The Netherlands where there normally is not much sun. I think in that period my vitamin D leverl dropped. And also my TRT level. I think that was one of the many triggers to develop POIS. So taking Clomid is interestting. Is there another person who took this? I don’t wanna take TRT pills or patches because I am 41 years old. But my TRT level is a bit low. See my level on the blood test topic. I will aks my POIS doctor what he thinks about taking Clomid.

There is also link between low TRT and prostatitis (my main problem):
https://www.issm.info/news/sex-health-headlines/researchers-find-connection-between-low-testosterone-and-cp-cpps/

I saw that Quantum already wrote about Clomid:

Well, the good news is that Clomid is cheap and readily available. It was approved as a fertility drug in 1967, and has been available in a generic form for a long time. Its secondary properties of raising testosterone levels in men were only discovered relatively recently.

I would be interested to know what your POIS doctor thinks about Clomid. It sounds like you have other good reasons for increasing your testosterone levels, and hopefully your doctor will take those into consideration.

I had not seen Quantum's information about Clomid in the other thread, he shares some very interesting thoughts.

Hi Demo, good to see you too!

Yes, I think I joined in with the Naked Scientist forum discussion around page 40, of course you were there right from the beginning along with John21 and B_Jim

It's a great community, all working towards the same goal - beating POIS!

Demo, have you been checked for decreased bone mass density?

No, but I’ll send my Report to the Association

Lately I’ve been forgetting to take my daily testosterone...too often.

It shows!

Even after 10 years of diligent treatment, the nasty, old symptoms have increased! Mainly in length of time to recover, not in the severity of the symptoms.

So...I’ve gone back to my daily regimen!!

demografx · « **Reply #266 on:** December 02, 2018, 10:08:47 PM »

I feel much better now in-and-out-of-POIS since going back to daily treatment.

Demo: follow your doctor’s advice!

3 *weeks* abstinence + TRT seems to be my anti-POIS formula.

(No, it’s still not 100% POIS-free - - BUT CLOSE!!).

Very little abstinence can still be...a POIS disaster.

Prior to TRT, I recall 3 *months* abstinence and still...POIS disaster.

I’m new to understanding MCAS. Does anyone think TRT & MCAS might be compatible theoretically?

Idk, but from what I have observed the majority of MCAS sufferes seem to be females. Perhaps lack of testosterone contributes to Mast Cells destabilization?

Great PP that you found a doctor that can help you. But I have heard that when someone starts with TRT for a long time the body will have problems to make testosterone when you stop with the medication. I have low testosterone, but I do not want to start TRT because of this problem. Otherwise I would asked my doctor for TRT. If I were 60+ I would do it.

Vandemolen, yes, thank you for pointing out the risk of TRT for younger people.

Wish me luck. (For dramatic POIS-reduction).

After 13 days ‘free’...it’s now what I call “Day Zero” (The day of POIS onset. Day 1 is my first “24-hours-of-POIS” day), it’s now
7:10 AM PST, and I just took 2 Benadryls to force extra sleep! After a good night’s sleep.

Told my wife not to wake me up.

Also I’m sneezing hard

...but only 3x

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

All the best,
Demo

ps - almost forgot: I also just now doubled up on my Rx for testosterone (from 4mg to 8mg) due to my anticipated drop in testosterone level, in turn, due to POIS onset!

Don’t wake me up!

demografx · « **Reply #275 on:** January 21, 2019, 11:57:38 AM »

It’s ~~8:56~~ ~~9:28~~ ~~9:44~~ AM PST...not asleep (too wired) but feeling a LITTLE better anyway

“Dried up” fingers sensation lessening...

Out of anxiety (extra TRT??)...just now devoured a huge breakfast...rapidly!

Your posts help!

Trying again (10:00 AM).

This time closing eyes

And listening to this:

It worked!

When I awoke, (after 12:00 PM), I felt like Superman.

As always, that feeling diminishes as the day wears on.

But overall, on this day, Day Zero...I’ve never felt better.

TRT + forced extra sleep + moderate abstinence is a huge leap forward for me since my old POIS days! (In the past, even 90 days’ abstinence didn’t help!)

I wish that for all POISers! I am proof (amongst other members here) that
S O M E T H I N G can help! (I felt hopeless against POIS in the past. But not now.)
