Hi everybody, my first post here as well, 28 years from Spain, hard Pois sufferer since 6 years ago, for me pois is a chain that takes you the half or your life, one week you are a normal person and the next one you lack energy to wake up in the morning, I have visited some doctors here but no reponse. I hope this forum and studies in course give us a solution, i have tried niacine, histamine, taurine methods but nothing new. As most of you pois starts one hour later and get the peak two days later.
Sincerely thank you everybody for the information you share here, this is the only way to get a solution.

Welcome Marcusq,

What are your other main symptoms, apart from severe fatigue ?

Do you suffer from hypotension (low blood pressure) when in POIS ?

Even if symptoms starts up to an hour after release, did you try take your supplements at least 30 to 20 minutes before E ?

There is no one single supplement that relieve all of POIS sufferers, so you may finally find one that will help you, at least in reducing the severity and/or duration of your POIS.  I suggest you try capsules of green tea extract, they are good at giving back energy  ( at least for me, and some other members as well).  There are some other simple and safe supplements you can try, that are good sources of antioxidants, like curcumin ( from peppered turmeric), rosemary extract, flaxseed oil, or grape seed extract.  You can make some testing, and finally find a mix that brings you some relief.   

You are 100% responsible for what you do with anything I post on this forum and of any consequence it could have for you.  Forum rule: ""Do not use POISCenter as a substitute for, or to give, medical advice" Read the remaining part at http://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=1.msg10259#msg10259

Hello guys, my name is Mardi, I’m 24, I come from Italy.
I have the syntoms of POIS for almost ten years, like a lot of you I went to a lot of doctors, specialists (nefrologs, andrologs...) but nothing was understood. I tried to search also in the web, but... until yesterday I googled only in italian language!
Yesterday, casually, I wrote some of the syntoms in english, and... Here I am.
I discovered just yesterday that what I am feeling after orgasms is a illness, with a name and there are active studies and a forum about it...
So, I just am writing to say thank you to all of you: I realized that I am not crazy, and that this nightmare is not just my imagination, but a real pathology.
I hope that I’ll can give my contribution to the community.

Mardi

That's funny demografx! I'm referring to the "Prancer" pic you posted a couple weeks ago.

That car is soo F--ked up lol...kinda like me when I'm in a bad POIS episode. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFHehn0UOLU) I think warner bros totally ripped my name off (jk lol). Just the other night I saw a commercial for a new midsize SUV called the "GLC". Omg, conspiracy! Next there'll be a vehicle called demografx. lol

Article: "Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome: Orgasm Health" in Men's Journal. Possibly posted before, it's from 2014.

Mentions NORD & Dr Komisaruk

"Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome
For some, there is a big downside to orgasm. Post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is a rare disorder where people feel ill after orgasm. Symptoms can include intestinal discomfort, headache, and general malaise. "Just having orgasms makes them feel sick for days after and nobody really knows what the mechanism is," says Komisaruk, who has just secured a grant from the National Organization of Rare Diseases to study this affliction. No one knows how common POIS is, but Komisaruk is currently working with a couple dozen men with the symptoms to shed further light on this disorder."

Demo,

Firstly I think "hats off" to the two gentlemen for baring their souls on their experiences.

The first gadget I think demonstrates how far guys are prepared to go to find a reduction in symptoms and life impacts. Unfortunately, am not qualified to know if there is any validity behind the "gadgets",, but without doubt credible devices that can stimulate good energy and push on belief in recovery (once it isn't false hope), is positive.

Hi Demo and everyone,

Also, a good summary of the Polyvagal Theory can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvagal_Theory

Extremely interesting video Quantum, thanks for sharing. I like this area of investigation. It potentially links otherwise confusingly diverse symptoms and observations. e.g. how POIS can result in changes in voice (mine used to become quite husky), looser stools, withdrawal from social situations and yet, social situations with people I'm comfortable with can seem to improve at least cognitive symptoms of POIS, at least temporarily. It also can help explain why meditation and/or breathing exercise is reported to help some people here. I'll be looking into this theory some more and I congratulate the people of NORD for singling out Dr Komisaruk. Whether, its the right track or not, its an inspired choice based on what I've read so far.

Hi Demo,

Thanks for pointing out the importance of the Polyvagal Theory for the understanding of the ongoing POIS research.   I think it deserves a thread on its own, so I have started a thread on the Polyvagal Theory here:  http://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=2200

Knowing more about the Polyvagal Theory and how it sees the inlfuences of the two different branches of the vagus nerve ( has described by this theory), will be important to have a better understanding of the papers that will come out of the current Rutgers study on POIS.

I will copy there the references that have already been given in this thread about the Polyvagal Theory.

Here is an interesting primer:

Lesson: don't give up!

<demo @ NSF ca. 2012>

"An fMRI of POIS!

I just now contacted Dr Komisaruk and we will hopefully get the full paper.

A couple years back, I tried to enlist the support of Dr Komisaruk and his 2 co-authors of their book, "The Science of Orgasm", sadly, no replies. "

But this went into NORD's database and he was invited to submit his proposal to POISers!
