--- Quote from: Bulls eye on June 28, 2011, 07:33:06 AM ---I want to start by saying i cant believe that i actually met people with the same problems that i have i thought i was alone , it sure is helpful to know that the problem has some form of acknowledgment , I hope you all the best
It all started right after puberty at age 15 , my symptoms are strictly cognitive , i remember before pois all my teachers used to say that am the smartest kid they've seen , i never actually had to study for my exams and have always been the top of my class , i remember the symptoms started at the first year of what you call high school , i managed to get by a B average , which was very hard for me to achieve during my first experience with pois , i am still very depressed , the most valuable asset i had was my IQ , till now i dont really care if i live or die , i feel that i have nothing to achieve. i have no self esteem .
The symptoms are almost exactly like Cornelius , especially the part about full night sleep would worsen the severity of pois .
I'm currently 23 , i'm afraid to get in a relationship for the obvious reasons, i'm having trouble trying to find a job that suites my condition , am also having problems writing about this in details currently because of pois

Dear Forum Members,
I'm new here, was a member of the old forum.
I'm 43, having POIS since I was 17. I'm married with kids and running a business.
I think I'm in the 1st cluster per my symptoms: anxiety, fatigue, lack of motivation, feeling low, quickly irritated, problems finding words, incoherent speech, concentration difficulties, fatigue. I have never had flu-like symptoms.
I was diagnosed with Hyperprolactinaemia 15+ years ago with low free Testosterone, also with bad FSH and LH levels.
I was treated with Cabergoline and Clomid for 2 years until my Testo got midrange, then I moved to my own stack.
The duration of my POIS has reduced from 3 days to one single day since my Testo-levels are acceptable.
My daily stack (non-pois days)
-Nicotine-patch (40 mg) as dopamine-agonist
-Vitex (to lower prolactine)
-Escitalopram (SSRI)
-Clonazepam (I've been on this benzo since I was 16 for anxiety which started earlier than POIS)
Topped with these on the pois-days:
- Ashwaganda helps me much. It reduces the vast majority of my symptoms, except for feeling low, lacking energy and motivation.
I take 3 teaspoons every ~3 hours on "pois days" with some water
- Oatmeal (5-HTP?)
- 8-9 hours of decent sleep after an evening Ejaculation
- Weight-lifting (couple of mins of intense kettlebell workouts)
What worsens POIS symptoms:
- Ejaculation (hereinafter: "E") in the morning,
- Multiple E-s,
- E after a stressful day or longer period of stress,
- E after less than 8 hours of sleep,
- too much physical / mental work,
-Negative feelings after quarrels, failures at work.
What I'm currently experimenting with:
- DHEA
- NAC
Cheers!

I am POISer living in Ethiopia. New to the forum. I have been suffering with it for the past 20 years. I guess I might be the first African to post about POIS. Hoping that you will excuse me for posting such long post focused only on my sever problem and challenges. I have almost all POIS signs and symptoms. After each O,I have a feeling of an intense fatigue, exhaustion, severe muscle, bone and joint pain that persisted for a few days ( almost4 days). I also have a feeling of sneezing with eye redness, abdominal cramp, and skin dryness, sensations of itching throughout my body as well as intense impaired concentration. I also have temporary dental pain and fever that accompanied disappear spontaneously later. These signs are seen in all Os, independently with the sexual activity ?nocturnal emission, masturbation or vag O. ?I am not married. have no children, very poor social relationship, lonely and very depressed person. Recently I have developed hyperthyroidism (my TSH level is below 0.05) and I started to take PTU treatment. Doctor told me that I have an overactive antibody in my blood which result in hyperthyroidism. I visited many doctors in Ethiopia about my problem, and I made all examination (urine sperm, blood etc..) they told me that I have narrow urethra (doesn?t prevent me to urinate or ejaculation and have no pain at all.). I have normal testosterone level. I have no any infection. I realized that Ethiopian urologist has no information about POIS. I hope you understand very well the challenge that I am still in Ethiopia being with such debilitating disease which I couldn?t describe it here. Life is so boring to live with such debilitating disease in Africa with no hope.. I haven?t received any treatment related to POIS. I don?t know in which category my POIS could be fall. It is sooooo? joyful to see other people having similar problem like me.
Thanks
Sol
