Hey Guys,

Is there a slight possibility that POIS can be causing damage to the brain every time we enter in a cycle? Does anyone have information about this?

Thanks

My only GUESS is no.

I think we recover when we return to non-POIS.
10 years of significant POIS-reduction, treatment consisting of daily (365 days/year) testosterone patches.

TRT must be checked out carefully with your doctor due to fertility, cardiac and other risks.

40+ years of severe 4-days-POIS, married, raised a family, started/ran a business

no, but i wonder if because of the cognitive dysfunction if "things learned" during this period of time (POISed) are not as easily retained or easily recalled at a later point. so for example if you are studying while POISed, although you arent "damaged" the information that you studied MIGHT be in your memory cortex. just a theory tho

Hey Guys,

Just a heads up, my doctor tested my cortisol levels before and after O for a 10 day period, with 6 tests a day at very specific times, and 14 tests on day of O. Results showed that cortisol levels do have an irregular change after O; for me this is good news because I finally have reliable and reputable proof that the condition is there and "it's not all in my head". Would love to hear your thoughts!

I always believed that cortisol has a strong interaction with POIS, and this is the proof of that. Are you thinking of starting an anticortisol therapy ? Did your doctor suggested you one ? Please keep us updated Lycos!

Hello everyone..

I just want to say that i have found the answer and solution to our problem.. I know this is a big statement to say, but this is real, legitimate, no bs speculative under-researched doctor practices? I?m cured and I don?t remember the last time I felt this good in my life.. I was postponing this in order to write a massive post of why and how this treatment works but instead ill keep it short and simple, for those of you who don?t believe that it might be this simple its fine you don?t need to try it, I?m not here to convince anyone; however being a member of this community I feel like i have the obligation to share my success in the hope that other will benefit from it as well

Straight up? this is an AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER, people with autoimmune disorder are A LOT more likely to develop more autoimmune disorders as well as cancer later on in their lives. This is why WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS, some of us have multiple autoimmune illnesses? The disorder is real and its there, theres no doubt about that however IT IS REVERSABLE..
I felt like crying when I first saw my first bouts of improvement because I couldn?t believe how simple this was?? I have my life again!!!!

The answer to the autoimmune problem is REDUCE INFLAMMATION, do ANYTHING possible to reduce inflammation.. I don?t understand the mechanics of inflammation and autoimmune so I won?t start throwing medical terms around just to show you that I?m an expert in the field but it comes down to basics. We are not alone, you might think that POIS is very rare, however the TYPE of disease (autoimmune) is extremely common especially in the last couple decades for XY reasons that I won?t get in to right now; my point being is that there is a lot of research out there and I will leave it up to each one of you to do on your own. Whats important to know and understand is that 80% of the immune system is IN THE GUT, which means if your GUT is not healthy, your immune system is not healthy. From my understanding of the little medical knowledge that I have, when there is intestinal permeability (leaky gut), theres are UNDIGESTED FOOD PARTICLES that enter the bloodstream and the immune system gets in the habit of fighting them off and eventually leads to IMMUNE ANOMALIES (Ex. Arthiritis, Diabetes, MS, POIS)? So what am I saying here?

-Heal the gut and stop intestinal permeability, (intestinal permeability: "holes" in the lining of your intestine for the not english native speakers.
-REDUCE INFLAMMATION?. Inflammation is the number ONE cause of brain fog? Read up about this, there are tons of research out there proving this.. (BTW: Inflammation in the brain effects the Amygdala, the part responsible for emotional reasoning, hence the behavioural emotional side effects of a POIS attack)
-STOP EATING FOODS THAT TRIGGER THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

By doing these two things, first you?ll reduce symptoms as you will reduce inflammation, second you will heal the gut so the permeability no longer occurs, and eventually with time the immune system will go back to normal where it won?t be triggered by anything non-threatening anymore.

GUYS, all I?m gonna say is that people with food intolerance's can go through a whole life-time without diagnosis and without knowing they have them; you have to let go of the idea that food intolerances are follow by extreme body reactions such as rashes etcs? symptoms can be as subtle such as low energy, unclear thinking, behavioural problems, etc. And this is why for a lot of people symptoms continue to come back even after a week of O given that your body is STILL FIGHTING SOMETHING (Sign of multiple autoimmune disorders, very common). This is also the reasons why POIS gets worst with the years, autoimmune problems LEAD TO MORE AUTOIMMUNE problems. Solve it and deal with it as soon as possible before its too late! Its not a neurotransmitter issue nor endocrinological, Im not a doctor, perhaps there is a change in these hormones however you have to understand THESE ARE SECONDARY EFFECTS, NOT THE CAUSATIVE?You have TWO options to dealing with POIS (And any condition), Either you treat the symptoms OR you treat the cause once and for all? Im not willing to put up with POIS all my life so I decided to put an end to this?

Now the part you?re all probably waiting for.. I have dedicated my life to this, I have read TONS of researches? tr ial and error, it took me 5 years of suffering with POIS to come to the bottom of this.. I have also seeked spiritual therapy and I feel like someone up there has finally given me the chance to live again.. Because lets be real, a person with POIS is dead, and i feel like i have come back to life again?

The answer is DIET, it cannot get simpler than this!!! Individual supplements and vitamins DO NOT WORK, ARE INEFFECTIVE, WASTE OF MONEY. It is the interconnections and combinations of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants that work together to make the body work effectively. The human body is a superb, highly sophisticated and complex mechanism that has high nutritional needs of the best kind!
A simple vitamin C supplement will not work as each vitamin is INEFFECTIVE without the other? It tools me YEARS to realize this.. Ive wasted tons of money on supplements. A balanced Diet is the most important thing us POISERS need to do right given that our body is suffering and the more you let it suffer the more it will break down.. This disease is REVERSABLE TRUST ME..

What is this Magic diet?

Avoid every possible stomach irritant + replace inflammation causing foods with ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS.
The foods you eat must posses two qualities: must be easy on the stomach and reduce or not cause inflammation.






The most common Stomach Irritants with people having autoimmune disorders and food intolerances in the world are the following (Foods to AVOID):

All grain products as well Gluten (Of course) So forget about bread and pasta
No nuts & seeds (This includes coffee and chocolate)
Animal milk Products 
Eggs
Tomatoes
Corn (So forget about gluten free products because most of them are made of corn)
Potatoes
Eggplants
Peppers (Including all specs derived from pepper such as: paprika, cayenne, etc)
Beans (Not as common but recommended to be avoided)
Alcohol (Sorry guys)
Cut out all proceed foods COMPLETELY, the trick: Avoid any food that has an ingredient that you don?t know in the ingredient list.. Essentially eat WHOLE foods!
Avoid over intake of Omega 6 (As it causes inflammation)
Avoid fried foods, fried oil causes inflammation

Note: It has been found that people have healed psychiatic conditions such as Aspergers and Autism by eliminating triggers from their diet! Just putting it out there.






So what should you eat?


Pretty much all fruits and vegetables, meats and fish.
They say in order for your body to absorb the maximum potential nutrients and have the fastest and most effective healing action, try to eat vegetables raw or cook them as little as possible.
Another thing recommended is to eat 9 cups of fruits and vegetables a day.. and eat a lot of greens! Spinach, kale (Superfood), etc
Take Omega-3?s with an EPA count of at least 1000-2000mg per day! Highly effective in inflammation reduction
Another powerful anti-inflammatory is Curcumin!! Very powerful stuff, I dont recommend supplements but our body needs to relax and reduce the inflammatory response ASAP, also for curcumin try to find one with ground pepper, research has shown that ground pepper helps its absorption.

Eat a lot of anti-oxidants!! Berries are very rich in them, they reduce inflammation as well, but be careful you need a variety of anti-oxidants given that when anti-oxidants neutralize cancer-causing free-radicals, themselves (the antioxidants) become free radicals which then again get neutralized by different antioxidants. AGAIN this is why you need VARIETY

ALSO: This is how behind medicine can be sometimes, Doctors treat autoimmune disorders with cortisol steroids that suppress the immune system so that it doesn?t attack itself. Again, besides the fact that your killing your body even more that way, this only treats the symptoms not the cause.. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE PUT TO REST BY not letting it get activated by commong food triggers anymore; at the same time you should do everything possible to make it as strong as possible because it is weak now, overworked and overstressed, this means make sure you get your Vitamin C and Ds from FOODs as they are extremely essential for the immune system!

A study has also found that people with autoimmune disorders are a lot more likely to be deficient in Vitamin D so this is another supplements I would HIGHLY recommend you take along with Omega 3s and Curcumin (Optional)
Ginger (Another anti-inflammatory)
Exercise (The most powerful anti inflammatory of all)

Also note that when the stomach is not functioning well there is also mal-absorption, which means you dont get all the nutrition you need to heal, so work on healing the stomach by not eating stomach irritating, inflammation causing foods.

So summary, VARIETY + LOTS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES! I cant stress this enough..




Now for all the skeptics and controversy,  Im not posting this to argue and attack any other treatment/therapies/theories, Im just here to pass on a message and help anyone I can from this miserable illness. I would be more than glad to answer specific question feel free to send me a message? I haven?t kept a record of all the researches I have read, however dont be fooled, Im not the mastermind of this healing diet, theres actually a name to it and it is called Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP) and I can give you guys some links to find out more about this diet of how and why it works, what you can/cant eat. Many people have reversed more serious automate illnesses than POIS with this diet such as Multiple Sclerosis.. Many Many success stories.. regardless, this shouldn?t be only for healing.. this is a lifestyle change, it will take some time, but remember that your body is YOUR TEMPLE, its with you for the rest of your life so treat it well, illness or not! Have some faith, believe and it will happen, there is hope!!


Here are some links that pretty much summarize everything Ive said, feel free to check them out for yourself, because the trick to this is to understand why this works and not just here this from some nobody that just told you it works. Im not here to convince anyone just to help...

So much for my short post! I tried to keep it as short and sweet as possible..I can write a book about this believe me, please message me I would be more than glad to answer any questions:)
Last but not least, In order for this to work you must follow this diet 100%, NO CHEATING, a small trace of a common trigger can produce an immune response..  You need to teach your immune system to RELAX! Goodluck! stay strong you can do it, take care and love your body, you need to feed it rocket fuel and get it to run like a Ferrari again!!

Hey guys, does anyone know any ways to prevent nocturnal emissions?

As far as i know there is not a certain way that will prevent 100% nocturnal emissions..But there are some small tips that you can follow if you search in google.
I have a question for you.Do nocturnal emissions cause you symptoms ? If yes, are there in the same intensity as orgasm ?

My pois started when I get nocturnal emission at night when I sleep I remember that when I was 18 years old

Hey guys,

I just want to note to every fellow POIS sufferer out there; if you guys really want to find a cure to this, we will get nothing done by sitting in this forum and just sharing our personal experiences. We live in a time where getting in touch with someone thousands of miles away has become extremely easy; what I?m suggesting here is that we need to get out there, raise awareness, e-mail, phone, and do whatever it takes to get in touch with doctors, naturopaths and whoever might be able to help. The reason there?s very little progress with POIS is because no one knows about it! And I know what many of you are probably thinking, and that is that well probably waste our time contacting doctors since they won?t bother with a disorder that is considered fairly new and under-researched; but at least by getting in touch with people we might find that one doctor out of 100 that might be willing to help and that will be a breakthrough moment for all of us. In addition to finding this one motivated doctor, we will also raise some awareness, get people talking about this and so maybe more people will come out and say that they are POIS-sufferers as well. Lastly, maybe I am living in an imaginary fantasy, but I DO know that pharmaceutical companies want to make money, bringing awarness to people might catch the pharmaceutical companies? eyes and believe me, if that happens that will be the biggest breakthrough moment for us ever. There can be nothing better for us than to have a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical company spending a ton of money on Research and Development for the sole purpose of making a profit out of us; which Im sure none of you will mind because I know for a fact that I would give my left nut for a drug that cure POIS. If we get them on our side we are essentially laughing at POIS, I pray to see this one day....

Before I close, I just want to say that so far I have made my way in to getting in touch with a Neuopsychologist and McGill University who is also a professor; in addition I just e-mailed Dr. Hyman about the POIS situation; he seems to believe in autimmune disorders and so I?m hoping that POIS might interest him. Take care guys, good luck to all of you, and by the way I?m in Day 2 of the cycle so I apologize in advance if some of my writing is unclear.

Any help you get from the Mac guill professor ..?.?

Interesting Lycopoulos, it's something I'll consider giving a try. I like the idea of reducing inflammation. Changing diet will be hard, but it's something I'll probably try in the coming days/weeks. I'll be on a trip soon, but I can start trying that out. There's so much good information on the pois forum. Hope I don't miss too much since it comes so fast.

Thanks Lycopoulos, great post.

I know it would vary between individuals but, in your case, could you please give us an idea of how long it was after you started to adopt and refine your diet that you noticed significant improvement in your POIS symptoms.

And, I realise it might not have been a clear-cut point in time,  but roughly how long after starting to adopt the diet did you realise you were 'cured'.

Could you also please summarise for us the POIS symptoms that you had before you changed your diet (eg. in terms of cognitive symptoms, physical symptoms and number of days after orgasm that the symptoms lasted)...

Thanks so much for sharing your findings with us and congrats on getting yourself to this stage...

Hey Melivora and Prancer,

Thanks for your replies; so I like where youre going with this, I think its a good idea that I should clarify what my definition of POIS is. On my end I had mostly cognitive symptoms, such as: severe brain fog, severe personality/behavioural issues and extreme ADD; of course followed by high anxiety, OCD from time to time and intense depression. In addition I had extremely low energy regardless of how much sleep I would get; the only thing different with my POIS symptoms when comparing to others on this forum is pain. I never experienced any form of pain either in terms of headache or physical as a result of POIS. 

Another thing with me is that over the years, my POIS symptoms would get worst as well as the fact that it would take me longer to recover. Where it would take me two-three days to recover at the age of 19; by 24 years old it took me seven days, and even after seven days I wouldnt fully recover as I would still have a lot of anxiety, depression, panic attacks and personality issues.

Lastly, a symptom that I only realized the past year or so is that my stomach would get bloated very frequently, but I never paid attention to it because either I would think its just because I eat a lot, or because its such a minute symptom compared to the disabling cognitive symptoms of POIS. Over time I realized that there is a big difference between feeling bloated and feeling full, and also realized that I don?t eat a lot, and that I would get bloated even with small portions. By that time, I hadn't made the connection that POIS might have a link with the stomach and eating habits up until I came across someone who told me he?s been battling an autoimmune disease all his life and finally solved it with a diet.

This was about a year ago, and his story is the one that first sparked my curiosity to explore the link between the stomach and immune system; I thought it would be really cool to try, but I had spent so much time and money on so many different treatments that I was really hesitant on changing my entire lifestyle just because some guy told me it works. So learning how diet and nutrition can reverse autoimmune diseases was ESSENTIAL for my recovery as it gave it more credibility and therefore was able to change my lifestyle with a purpose and not simply because someone told me it works.

So after doing months of research, I finally got the courage take it seriously and give it a try. The most shocking thing about the diet is that I noticed an increase in well-being within DAYS of doing it. I couldn?t believe how fast improvement occurred, within less than a week I hadn?t felt bloated even once, my energy AND sleep were noticeably improved. 7 days later (after I began my diet) I got nocturnal emission; this is the crazy part, I got a POIS attack of course, but symptoms were a lot less severe than normally, and on top of it they only lasted 2 days! This is what gave me the motivation to follow the diet even more; within day 3 after my NE (10 days in the diet) I went clubbing with friends that night and had a great time where normally I would never be able to do that in the middle of a cycle (especially day 3). Following those 10 days, my mind was getting sharper and clearer as the days went by; I started speaking up in class and sparking conversation with strangers, and I was loving it! Something I hadnt experienced in YEARS?. From that point on post-POIS symptoms have been  progressively decreasing, cycles last max 2 days with very minute symtpoms and the thing I am loving the most is that post-POIS I feel absolutely normal, and not just normal, but I feel amazing. In terms of energy, cognitively, sleep, digestion have improved DRAMATICALLY.. but it is important to note that as you?re doing this lifestyle/diet change, you must avoid activating your immune system, it needs to be put to rest which means that you cannot allow any triggers either in terms of food, cold, or ejaculation given that it will slow down the healing process. The idea is that with diet and nutrition you rehabilitate the immune system, as well as heal the gut which chances are that it has permeable at this point and unless that is not cured theres going to be unwanted particles entering the bloodstream activating the immune response which leads to inflammation (the whole cycle all over again); healing the gut completely can take anywhere from months to years.

The crazy part that confirms this food intolerance AGAIN, is the day I got invited to a friend supper (this was within the first couple of weeks being on AIP diet). I was very shy to tell everyone about my diet, there was cute girls there also and for some reason I was hesitant to mention anything so I simply decided to eat only the food that Im allowed to eat even though they had been in contact with eggs, cheese, and tomatoes. Within 15 minutes I got hit with a wave of brain fog.. This is where once again it was confirmed to me that my food intolerance was real once again.. And I couldnt believe it was THIS SIMPLE.

Finally after a month of being on the diet, Ive reached the point where I walk around and dont know why Im happy.. My anxiety hasnt just diminished, but has COMPLETELY disappeared. I have actually realized Im so extraverted and didnt even know it all this time. Ive been wanting to share my experiences throughout the month on this forum, but I didnt want to corrupt the place with another dead end theory unless I knew for a fact that this works on me besides all the research that confirms it out there. Well the fact of the matter is that it does work and it has changed my life. I encourage everyone to at least read up on it before rejecting it; not for the purpose of me wanting to be right because thats the least of my concerns, I just feel like I want to help people experience what Ive experienced because its seriously beautiful.

Hi Lycopoulos,

I am happy for you. It's good to hear your story. I developed wheat intolerance a couple of years back. As result of wheat exclusion I feel much better. My POIS still hits me like a bus. Perhaps I should follow this AIP diet.

A friend of the family got Rheumatoid Arthritis and she followed a special diet without deviation. She has gone from hardly being able to get out of bed to having hardly any symptoms at all. "The immune system recovery plan" was a book she recommended. It calls medicine through diets "foundational medicine".

I like that you are diving head first into your own research.

I would like to mention that the enteric nervous system nerve controls the gut via the vagus nerve.

Damage or even temporary compression to this nerve in some form not only can affect the gut, but also how much of and what kind of nutrients are absorbed.

This is why I am very hopeful about Dr. K's study and approach.
