Testosterone

[demografx]

This is what my TRT POIS therapy looks like. Each and every evening (365 days/year) I place 2mg patches - -
that you see in the photo above - - on my upper arms and/or thighs. When POIS attacks me, I increase the dosage.

For the 10 years I’ve been doing this, it’s been with a doctor’s prescription and supervision, either an endocrinologist or primary care physician.

Be careful, I lost my sperm count, probably because of my POIS therapy.

It still works for me!

THE GUY ABOVE JUST NEUTRALIZES HIS POIS WITH STICKERS!!! UNBELIEVABLE! 

?

Maybe the    *other*     “guy above” can explain.
Thanks,
Demo

ps - Muon (the *other-other guy) why are you shouting? (All caps).

It was a joke. That something so simple can help you with POIS.

Good to hear that your TRT is still doing its job

Works better in person, Muon. Some humor (such as this) via the internet is tricky to convey - at best - and is often misinterpreted.

It would not surprise me if testosterone levels turned out to be an important part of the POIS puzzle that we are trying to solve.

Interesting, hurray!

Back in 2008, your quote above was also the firm conclusion of Czech sexologist Dr Petr Weiss, who was adamant with me on the telephone that I “needed testosterone”. I was skeptical (almost zero POIS studies were done back then!), but I was desperate, so I simply went along with his theorizing (“why not?”) and...got lucky with TRT for POIS!

Thanks for sharing that [posted above] information Demo  It shows that there are medical professionals out there who take POIS seriously - I think many of us at some time have spoken to a doctor who dismissed our POIS symptoms, or recommended we visit a psychiatrist   

I wonder if Dr Petr Weiss is still practising medicine, and if he has followed the development of POIS research?

hurray, Dr Weiss is a PhD sexologist, not an MD.

I sent him our posts earlier today and he acknowledged and appreciated them.

If anyone wishes to contact him, send me a message!

Oops, thanks for the correction Demo. I'm pleased that he took the time to read our posts 

[demografx]

Oops, thanks for the [PhD] correction Demo.

hurray, considering the huge dearth of POIS-empathetic professionals out there, I was MORE than happy to find Dr Weiss - a PhD sexologist -  and take that extra step to combine his theorizing with a local university
MD-endocrinologist to arrive at my personal POIS treatment.

A Harvard biophysicist friend of mine who helped develop cutting edge AIDS treatment, suggested that we POISers try to work with college/university-connected medical professionals. Why? Because POIS is not yet medically recognized, and colleges/universities are more
research-oriented. I followed his advice.

Me too, hurray! Maybe because it’s a nice & slow Sunday

Could you ask him if we can put him on Quantum's list?

You made a good decision.

Yes. These kind of link-ups would be invaluable to us.

OK. Asked.

I ask members here to contact me first because my hunch is that Dr Petr Weiss should be approached on a case-by-case basis:

• he’s not a “POIS specialist/medical practitioner”, his main career is teaching

• no idea if/how he wants to charge fees for POIS consultation

...what works best for me [besides Testosterone] is to
FORCE SLEEP on Day Zero (the day of POIS onset).

Does anyone else get some POIS relief from
EXTRA SLEEP?

Please share your experience.

Thank you.
Demo

It’s Day 1 (yesterday was POIS onset) and at 4:30pm I took 75mg Benadryl and my 2nd day of high-dose TRT.

This is my 2nd attempt at mid-day Benadryl. While inducing sleep for recovery doesn’t seem to work mid-day (Circadian rhythm?),  it does reduce “POIS anxiety” for me. But I did have 4 “good hours” of wakefulness prior to 4:30pm.

[Muon]

Huh? I thought you already used it to force sleep during mid-day, so you always forced sleep during the evening/night and slept through the night?

[demografx]

That, plus morning. I’m trying it right now again, it’s 1:15pm. Maybe circumstance, anxiety, Circadian, make mid day more difficult. It’s not science that’s for sure!!!

Muon, way back when I started my Magical TRT Mystery Tour, I had an MRI of the brain ordered by my endocrinologist, resulting in a find of Empy Sella Syndrome. Not sure if/where to post...
