Yes, I did a cleanup. A short while ago, I blocked some spammer robots, they're like GoogleBot ( that scans for valid pages, and give you exposure), but give you exposure to spammers.

Some of the spammer bots are more powerful than Googles bots! And even though it's a great improvement, it's an ongoing pain. They keep chaging their IPs and you have to regularly change the blocking addresses.

So I went through the database and erased a ton of members that pertained to "tainted IPs". There are members who register but never post, and I didn't want to erase them, but there are certain combinations that can be used to distinguish the "cockroaches". Sorry, but that's a NICE name!

So those that are left are more likely real members.

We do have a filter for members that have been reported by others as spammers, that helps a lot, but still a percentage get through. The filter has blocked 133,000 spammers since I put it up, about 18 months ago.

It's OCTOBER -- in one more month, we're inching ever closer to the final selection-decision of POIS Researcher selected by NORD's prestigious MAC!

Hopefully it will be closer to late November rather than early December.

Nice Christmas present to us all!!

Boy did I ever have POIS this last few days. It's been at least a year since I've had anything like this.

Sunday night, couldn't resiste the temptation. I am using viagra to prevent POIS. I usually take about 35mg, where I have to cut a 50mg pill "to measure".

So this time, I had a bunch of pieces left over. So I took what seemed to be about 35 mg worth.

I could tell that there wasn't m uch effect of the viagra, I don't know if leaving the cut up pieces exposed to the air had deteriorated the viagra, or if my esstimation
of the amount was wrong, but I had more problems than I expected to et a good erection. That should have been my warning.

But, BAD. two days of hell! I was reminded of what it is like. It's been a while since I've had to go through it.

Strangely though, near the end of day 2, almost within 3 hrs, it just went away. I'm fresh as a daisy today.

Just before it "broke", I took a spoonful of loratadine and an Ibuprofen. Not sure if it had anything to do with it, but I just got better from there on in.

Uuufff.

This stuff is crappy!

Hi Daveman, sorry for your relapse experience although good to hear that it cleared relatively quickly. Are you still using Niacin though? Has viagra been working for you without niacin? I seem to have missed something while I've been away...

Hey guys, I need a piece of advice!

I have a big presentation coming up on the 12th of November and so I want to be on my best mental performance for that day.
Regarding the timing of O?s, I have 3 options:

1. Keep abstaining until the 12th of November, (It has current been week since O) therefore total 16 days recovery.
2. Have an O today, that way I have about 10 days recovery until presentation
3. Have an O Tuesday, that way I would have exactly a week recovery.

What do you guys think is best from experience? Do you think if I keep abstaining until the presentation (Option1) I would feel too stressed and anxious for the presentation? Thanks guys.

Lycos, that's a very personal decision. Everyone recovers differently from POIS.
As I have no problem abstaining for long periods of time, I would choose option one.

Good luck!

I take the viagra, and wait about 45 min to an hour (the usual amount of time for it to take affect). Then I take 50 mg of niacin sub lingually, and perhaps a second dose of niacin sub-lingually depending on how I feel. The viagra can intensify the naicn flush. If the first dose didn't produce the niacin flush, I take a second. Whether the niacin finally produces a flush or not, I only take a max of 100mg.

I suspect I don't need the niacin though. On occasions where the viagra effect was fairy strong, I hardly took any niacin, and it still works.

The viagra, for the most part has worked way better than the niacin. Almost zero POIS.

I started taking 25mg viagra (half a pill). Now I have to take 50mg for it to work. (both for the errection and for POIS).

The day of the relapse, I didn't take enough.
