I O yesterdey after 30 days of abstinece , today pain under prostate,
heart palpilations, bump heart, M Gravis symptomes, breathing problems(shortenes of breath), fatigue, memory problems(ram memory) short memory, migrains in sinus region,
nerve hipersensibility, buzzing under knees(nerves cant fire properly),
facial change, lose facial muscules,
pain in muscules, iritability.
That clearly sounds like an immune flare, but I truly think POIS is special with the neuro-symptoms.

Hello everyone,

History

Time to tell my story. I am 25 year old male who has suffered from POIS since I am 15/16 year old (can't remember exactly when it started to happen). Since then, I have always been more fatigued and less motivated in everything I do. Grades started to drop and I needed at least 9 hours of sleep to function normally during a day. Over the years, my social skills started to diminish and I became a lot more insecure. I experienced brain frog and my memory worsened. I sometimes preferred to stay nights at home instead of hanging out with friends. I could never explain why I felt that way. Since I was 19/20 years old I started to feel I was losing my friends due to my insecurity, but in reality this was not the case.

Since I am 22 years old, someone from a project group at Uni told me about NoFap and that you could get "superpowers" from it. Purely out of curiosity, I started to try it out. Around 9 days in and I felt the happiest I've been in around 6 years. I had a smile on my face that lasted the whole day. From that point I thought that I've been a porn addict all this time, since I watched porn a lot. I think I watched porn and masturbated on average maybe 1-2 times per day. Sometimes I masturbated 4-6 times a day. I started practicing nofap, but when I relapsed I would always feel the same symptoms again. I just thought it was because of my excessive masturbation history and porn addiction that I would have these symptoms.

One year later, the nofap went with ups and downs. Granted, the amount of masturbation went down immensely. Sometimes I had a streak of 7 days and sometimes of 100 days. But I had always the same symptoms after I orgasmed. I got a girlfriend for the first time and started having sex for the first time. However, the same symptoms after sex started happening again. I was really confused why this happened. After a few weeks I started googling and found out that it was POIS that caused these symptoms. I was happy and devastated at the same time. Happy, because I found out that it was an actual disease and I was not going crazy. Devastated, because it is something that you cannot easily get rid off.

Another year went by. I was still happy in my relationship, but POIS symptoms were still there. I started reading something about breathing techniques and realized I've been a mouth breather all my life. I thought myself to breath through my nose (both in and out). POIS symptoms reduced drastically since then, from a 5-7 day cycle to a 3-4 day cycle. However, I still need at least 10 days to fully recover since then.

Present

One more year passes by. POIS is still present, but I have noticed that symptoms after sex start to diminish. This happened during the last months of my relationship, which ended half a year ago. I haven't had sex since then so I cannot tell if this is still is the case. All my memories of the past years still seem vague. I can't really remember anything from 17-21 years old. But I feel my memory is slowly getting better. I feel at my best when I haven't been working out for a few days and have been abstaining from orgasm for at at least 10 days. When this is the case, my brain functions really good and my memory/focus is 1000x better. I am still practicing nofap, although I relapse every 30-60 days. Often times this is when I'm drunk.  When having a orgasm when drunk, however, symptoms are less intense than when I'm sober. Overall, I feel soooo much better than before doing Nofap, also because I barely watch any porn (1-3 times every 1-2 months) nowadays. I do not dare to think where I would have been now if it weren't for that random guy from my project group who told me about nofap. He might have just saved my life.

Symptoms

My symptoms comprise of fatigue, increased irritability, social distancing (comes in handy nowadays haha), brain fog, depressed feelings, tone in voice becomes worse, increased vulnerability to stress, sense of fight or flight, bad focus, bad memory (especially short-term).

When do symptoms appear

After orgasm. I noticed approx 8 months ago that symptoms after sex started to decrease. I also notice POIS symptoms after working out in the gym, but not as intense after orgasm.

Thank you for the write up, interesting that symptoms were reduced with sex as opposed to masturbation. That has been reported by some in this forum, possibly oxytocin or female hormones that inhibit prostaglandins are responsible for this.

Also: alcohol inhibits part of the immune system and may help lower the risk of developing auto immune diseases: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-15855-z

I too found out I got pois after abstaining and getting NE and realizing O gives me symptoms. Have you tried that what has worked for others POIS or anything to stop it? Do you remember if anything was different in life when you got POIS(virus, stress, injury, illness, infection, probiotics/antibiotics, etc.)?

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
I too was sharp b4 it. Mine are mainly neuromuscularcognitive. Ever had cases of POIS disappearing for while?

This was the old place for my personal POIS experience. Now I have moved it to this place!
