[fernab]

Hi,

I have recently contacted a medicine university in my country, were showed me interest in the NORD fund for researching on POIS. I sended them the RFP as well as the recent reminder about the May 7.

Maybe Medicine Universities is a good place to distribute the RFP.

Thank you, fernab, for posting about this.

It is very important.

For all of us.

We crowd-funded amongst ourselves (POISCenter members!): $31,000++ for this project.

Amazing!

So let’s finally get ourselves cured! We can’t do it alone, without competent, POIS-dedicated medical research!

Thanks for letting me whine


ps - send out the RFP! Make our money do MORE!

would it be okay to just send messages to random local doctor.

Yes!

Thank you, certainlypois2!

I think we all can do something to change a bit this
[sluggish POIS researcher recruitment] situation.

It is somehow also our responsibility.

What do you think about this?

Yes it is!!!

[demografx]

My personal experience is that a researcher can be found successfully by hearing directly from...a POIS sufferer!

Not just from NORD.

I sent this today to my GP (who is influential. He was the Chief Medical Officer at the US Olympics Games)

Dear Dr G,

I hope you’re well.

I continue to benefit greatly from your treatment plan that I implemented with you about 8 years ago.

Perhaps you can help me with furthering the research on Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome?

I’ve attached a $31,000 grant description which I would hope you can pass along to your colleagues.

Any feedback from you, Dr G, to help this along would be GREATLY appreciated!

Best wishes,

Nice news

[fernab]

Yes, very good!

I was recently trying to contact a researcher I have been un contact with before summer. But, unfortunately, I could not contact him again. Neither by phone nor by email.

Very busy? Lack of interest? ... I do not know with certainty which of the two is the problem ... but at least I tryed everything I could.... Again, reading this is very good news. We need it very much!

Thank you, certainlypois2 and fernab!

I visited today an important urologist in my country. And also told him about the NORD RFP. He told me he knows NORD. But unfortunatelly, he also told me he is very occupied to do anything right now. He also knows a few things about POIS. He told me to try a drug to force retrograd ejaculations. That means, seminal liquid don't gets out directlly through the urethra but internally through the bladder. He wants me to test if this way I don't develop the POIS symtoms.

Hi Fernhab.  He must have prescribed you an alpha-1 blocker such as Flomas/tamsulosin.  I would be interested to know what results you get with this, if you try it.

I tried it manually, with a technique promulgated by Mantak Chia.

It didn’t work. My POIS was as bad as ever.

We are close!
