POIS paper treatment summary

(1/30) > >>

Muon:
All patients who tried treatment have been filtered from articles. Some articles lack data such as dose, symptom reduction or drug name.
A#= Article number based on POIS paper thread
P#= Amount of patients that have tried treatment (multiple 1s for the same paper means different cases. #F= female included)
Yes= Benefit, needs context, doesn't tell you anything about efficacy.
No= No benefit. A 'No' without a patient number at the left side means the same patient as the 'Yes' above it.
Let me know if you think this thread can be improved in some ways or if you see any mistakes.
Note to editors: Adjustments of numbers in paper thread need to be adjusted here as well (first column).

Harvested semen samples were defrosted at room temperature and diluted with saline 0.9%. In addition, 0.05 ml of each dilution was IC injected. Skin reactions were interpreted at 15 minutes after IC injection. Titrations were performed according to local skin reaction postinoculation, aiming at a wheal and flare response of 3+.

This score was intentionally maintained for a period of at least 2 years. Practically, concentrations of semen were periodically increased at a score of 2+ or less. Oppositely, in case the score exceeded 3+, semen concentrations were lowered. Wheal erythema of 21–30 mm = 2+, erythema of 31–40 mm = 3+, wheal > 15 mm or pseudopodia and erythema of >40 mm = 4+.

Method of POIS relief central hub

Please help me out by locating threads from other members and put the links in the comment section. Place a comment when your method needs to be updated. Many methods given in the list are not checked for consistency and based on criteria regarding a threshold of relief unlike Quantum's chart. The methods below are not automatically recommendations, some extreme 'solutions' are included. Some reports need follow-ups and are placeholders for the time being. Click on the hyperlinks for context.

Quantum's chart contains solutions that bring 75% or more relief of POIS Symptoms, a method that is described in details ( dosage, timing, and any relevant information necessary to "duplicate" it ), and that this solution have been effective for over 3 months or more, so that it is clear that it is not a placebo effect neither just a temporary relief that will fade for an unknown reason. It also not includes extreme or controversial solutions regarding safety. Chart of POIS types (ongoing project)

Note that some remedies aren’t for POIS but addresses other symptoms of the patient.

Cost/availability of medicine per country

Let me know if you have found a website that shows the cost/availability of medication in your country.

The Netherlands

Muon:
POIS onset trigger: Antibiotics

Some people developed POIS due to triggers (stress is most commonly seen from my own observation, =Gut/brain?, CRH?).
Reminder to dive into this.
Bob Morane and Simon66 developed POIS after use of antibiotics (need links). Some probiotics have positive effects while others negative.
IronFeather had some relief from antibiotics (Colitis). Her mother diagnosed with lactose intolerance + IBS, the latter triggered by stress.

--- Quote from: Pierce et al. ---Self-started a probiotic containing Bacillus coagulans and fructooligosaccharide which he reported improved his symptoms further
--- End quote ---
Bletzer had a bad experience with antibiotics, improved on keto (his dad has a lactose intolerance).
as for Meatball4u ("I tried antibiotics (xifaxan), herbal antimicrobials, and too many probiotics to remember. I developed severe food intolerances, allergies, joint pain and anxiety. Did not help with POIS") from reddit. Strains could be mapped.
Vandemolen used antibiotics and probiotics. Cefuroxim had some effect but stopped working.
John21: antibiotics (azithromycin)+probiotic food fixed POIS. (he used antibiotics in 2007, follow up on this)
Guy from youtube: enema. Improvement.
Kurtosis: VSL#3 + low FODMAP. Improvement.
Muon was given a 11-day trial of metronidazole due to positive lactose H2-test. Had no effect.
4everfogged had good results for 3,5 weeks on an antibiotic+TRT+vitamins. Antibiotic: Clarithromycine Teva.
Clues thinks he developed POIS due to over-prescription of Tetracycline.
kid_: POIS 99% gone with low FODMAP diet. Collagen, needs update.
lw had good result from antibiotic: amoxicillin, rifaximin didn't work.
A POISer had good results with coffee enema (need to look up who it was). Dumping it here could be related to microbiome shift or with MCs
Youcefrouiba used lactulose which is an osmotic laxative (and FODMAP?).
Wolf berry has been given amoxicillin during extraction of wisdom teeth. No POIS.
CharlesB: Azithromycin didn't do much for him. Dead yeast found in stool (microscope, won't be detected by culture test)

--- Quote from: lw on December 31, 2020, 04:29:52 AM ---my pois got back after being food poisoned. Currently I'm taking co-trimoxazole and symptoms are reducing rapidly.

History of med use:

--- Quote from: Scary sheep on October 14, 2020, 08:01:10 AM ---Antibiotics, yes. SSRIs no.
--- End quote ---

Salt inhibits microbial growth. Orlands' salt intake could just be doing that aside from anti-histaminergic or blood volume expansion effects. Salt-rich diet increases Th17 (needs link and a fact-check).
