Hi Everyone,
I've had POIS since I'm 20 and recently found out after extensive testing that I have Lyme disease. The tick bite which preceded the onset of symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia, and digestion issues which I never (and still don't) correlate with POIS also preceded the beginning of my POIS (5 years ago). The reason I don't connect them exclusively is the particular flavor of POIS, which would only happen after an orgasm as opposed to the omnipresence of the aforementioned symptoms. That flavor was/is an intense emotional sensitivity and social anxiety. I'm getting intensive treatment for Lyme from a Lyme specialist at the moment and can still distinguish between the symptoms of Lyme and POIS. As difficult as Lyme is, combined with POIS it's utter hell.
Anyways, it seems like there MIGHT be a connection between them as my POIS started around the same time as Lyme. Curious if anyone here had Lyme disease. Its epidemic in the U.S.A. and has been found all over the world. 300,000 new cases a year in the U.S. and very few of them are diagnosed and even rarer treated properly.
So my dear POISers, let me know!!
Cheers,
