Arab POIS group
« on: June 19, 2019, 06:43:24 AM »
Gotta say, I've been in a group chat with a bunch of Arab POISers and what's nice is that we have two doctors and one medical student. But what's less nice is that they are completely oblivious to what causes POIS or even its general mechanism.
So that's generally why we have such a failure with doctors, and you can't blame them really this disease was only discovered in 2004, it'll need time, and even when it comes to the current investigation there is a high chance of failure; needing a second grant to investigate alternative hypotheses if the current one completely fails.

They suggested recently that POIS could be a fundamentally neurological issue, where physical symptoms are caused by a dysfunctional hypothalamus.   
This can also perhaps tie to the Vagus Nerve theory; but not just the vagus nerve, rather other parts in the neural system as well.

There are still a bunch of hormones that haven't been tested yet:

What I find exciting about our current researchers is their stated determination to see us through additional research. With published credibility under our belt, I’m hoping we will attract *major* funding (not just our very small/limited resources!) and *major* POIS research grants on our 2nd round, e.g., NIH.





To me, this is GREAT NEWS from the researchers!

“[We will] show...future funders we approach to continue the research...”

This is the first commitment I’ve ever seen - - in my 12 years here - - from outside POIS researchers who are willing to commit to a long term strategy to successfully get this ugly disorder of ours...possibly CURED!

:) Thank you, RESEARCH TEAM! :)

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
