Day 2 worse than Day 1
« on: June 08, 2019, 04:57:02 PM »
Had a NE two days ago. Felt fine yesterday, almost completely normal. Woke up today feeling sick. Body aches, chills, and shivering. This is the second time Day 2 of a POIS cycle has been dramatically worse than Day 1. Day 3 a little better, day 4 gets a little better, and so on.... What a vicious cycle this is. Anyone else feel dramatically worse on Day 2?


Thanks in advance,
Special 123

Occasionally. But the norm for me is that it’s worst @ Day Zero (POIS onset), then progressively gets better each day after that.

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

For me, for about a year and a half, it used to be always worse day 1, then slightly better day 2. But nowadays, in my third year of POIS, I feel almost no symptoms on day 1 and it all starts on day 2. I've been experimenting with various supplements, now also with garlic.

There was a statement in one of Dr. Waldinger's papers that the occurrence is pretty stable within a man (and varies quite a lot across men); this is not quite the case for me, as I've been experimenting.

It is often hard to tell which day it is also because I get symptoms after just pre-cum (e.g. if I look at a beautiful girl on the streets and pre-cum a little bit, without ejaculation or orgasm).

This week, I was doing another experiment: try moderate physical exercise on day 1, despite the fatigue. I tried and felt great. Tried also moderate on day 2. Again I felt fine. But then I just woke up on day 3 with some of the symptoms. But I also had some precum this morning.

Yes, i experience the same.

Day 2 is much much worse than day 1.

Symptoms starts after nearly 2-4 hrs then continue for 24 hrs, and then symptoms gets stronger during the next 24 hrs before it starts to fade away gradually.
