Does anyone else experience these face symptoms
« on: August 11, 2021, 06:43:06 PM »
I often look through this forum to see all the Pois symptoms other members experience and many of them match with mines, specifically all of the cognitive problems you can think of. One symptom that I haven't seen mentioned often is this weird tingling/numb sensation from everywhere under my eyes. This includes my cheeks, jaw, mouth, nose, and chin. It's such an uncomfortable feeling which is even hard to describe sometimes and is probably the cause of the anxiety and fatigue that I often experience. It can be triggered immediately not only from ejaculation but pre-ejaculation as well. These sensations don't go away unless I go weeks (around 5-8) without pre-ejaculation/ejaculation. Sucks really bad..... I just want to know if anyone else experiences these symptoms so I don't feel alone.

I do get numb tingling face, mostly in the morning when I wake up after a bad POIS night.  Sometimes it lasts all day after.  Super weird and uncomfortable.

Took the words right out of my mouth with it being so weird and uncomfortable. I think it may be the worst symptom of all my POIS symptoms. I also notice that the numbness/tingling/stiffness are heightening in the morning when I first wake up and also after strenuous exercise of either playing soccer or weight training. It really affects the way I interact with others and hinders me from expressing myself the way I'd like with my face always feeling so stiff and numb. The positive for you is that it lasts only a day. Not sure if this is some sort of inflammatory reaction that also causes our facial symptoms to flare up.

Hardhead14, you are not alone.  Those with skin symptoms (in addition to brain) experience this tingling.  It may be immune response, albeit a dysregulated one.

These sensations don't go away unless I go weeks (around 5-8) without pre-ejaculation/ejaculation. Sucks really bad..... I just want to know if anyone else experiences these symptoms so I don't feel alone.
