I was very productive and clever person before POIS. Than little by little I got stressed and nervous and I sensed I couldn't maintain my mental clarity.
I still considered myself a clever guy. That's why I decided to search for the cure myself. It was a wrong choice. I couldn't believe that mental problems would happen to me, I was very peaceful minded guy.
Now I'm absolutely sure that it was Trauma+Neurosis. Gut issues is neurosis too, though it seems like Candida, SIBO. Whatever you call.
It also seemed like immuno issue, yes. Antihistamines help because they contain antispasm medicine. It relieves gut issues.
That must be why so many people here have our lives completely destroyed because of exercise intolerance caused by POIS. I hope you notice the irony. Yeah, now it turns out we're neurotic. I also hope you realize how easy it is to believe psychiatrists and take the easy way out by taking psychiatric drugs and accepting their treatments, but of course, it turns out you can only do this of you're lucky enough to have mild symptoms or to not have experienced a worsening yet. I don't know if you're aware that it was a
neuropsychiatrist who gave our disease a name and said it wasn't psychological or psychiatric. But of course, the first random psychiatrist you met must be so wise that they can contradict science telling you that a disease formally recognized by the NORD is all in your mind. Yeah, of course.
I suppose that my 40C fever, swollen lymph nodes and C-reactive protein through the roof are caused by my
neurosis. I also suppose that my recognized disability caused by POIS, that includes severe muscle shaking and exercise intolerance, and that has left me looking like a cripple at 26 years old, is all in my head and due to anxiety or neurosis. Same with the fact that me, a pianist who dedicated half her life to music, missing out on so many other life experiences because I wanted to become a good musician, because I loved music more than I will ever love anything else, now
have such severe POIS-induced permanent exercise intolerance symptoms that I can't play at all and had to abandon my career. Go tell me that I'm neurotic and that a psychiatrist will fix me. You have no idea of what severe POIS is like.
I have no words to describe my opinion about your posts here, at least none that will be allowed in this forum. But I do hope you realize how lost and far from the truth you are now, and how damaging and offensive your opinions can be.
I won't engage in any discussion about this here. I didn't come to this forum to antagonize people, and I didn't ever think I would have to post this. But I have as much right to say it as you do to call us all neurotic and mentally ill.
Good luck, man, I hope you find health and can enjoy a good life. Some of us can't.
