Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS) and Dysautonomia

[Muon]

Hello,

I wondered if there are any patients here on this forum with POIS. We have people at the poiscenter forum ( https://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php ) with POTS and POIS (myself included) or with ANS related symptoms. Some researchers believe the vagus nerve might be involved in POIS. Some forum members have posted their medical test results here: https://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=2684.0

There could be overlap among POTS/Dysautonomia/POIS/MCAS/EDS, so perhaps there are people here with POIS or misidentifying it with MCAS.

I have to be very careful with how I choose to reach orgasm. Orgasm via intercourse just overwhelms me. Immediately after ejaculating I'll feel a wave of muscular tension and tightening in (primarily) my gut up into my diaphragm. My heart will then palpitate and race and I'll feel flushed and overwhelmed (with feelings of panic). Oddly, laying down after doesn't help (at all). I'll also experience similar reactions via simple masturbation (when using my hand). Thankfully, I am able to reach a (generally pleasing) orgasm when using a small (battery operated wand style) vibrator. With this method I feel very little in the way of muscular tension and will experience only the occasional palpitation. Curiously, the amount of semen I release (when orgasming via a vibrator) is significantly less than via any other method. The one conclusion I've drawn from these experiences is that the unique stimulation/pleasuring I experience via a vibrator allows me to - for lack of a better term - relax into the release/orgasm, as opposed to "work for it". I can only speculate as to the role dysautonomia (primarily POTS) plays in my own unique experiences.

Interesting topic as I’ve recently read about p.o.s.i From googling feeling sick after orgasm. Since getting pots orgasm makes my symptoms bad. Also get lots of other crazy symptoms can make me feel terrible for a week. Before  getting pots I always noticed feeling bad after sex but thought it was normal and as a young horny man didn’t care. But now I wonder if all my years of bad chronic  fatigue since age 15 I wonder if it was from all the sex I was having,

I doubt sex, or more specifically the physical release that is orgasm, has caused your chronic fatigue. Rather, sex (and orgasm) is likely a trigger that can sometimes flip on (make you more symptomatic for) your own unique form of dysautonomia.

POIS (Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome) - 99% cure

 

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DOCTOR, JUST A LONG-TIME SUFFERER.

I still feel POIS symptoms but they are very minor: slight irritation, sweating, sugar cravings... I think I have cured POIS 99%.

The reason I am almost fully functional with POIS is because:

1. SLEEP: I try to fall asleep before 10pm. I thought this could not be done but you can do it if you start waking up at 6am or 7am a few days in a row and you will hopefully start getting tired around 9pm.

2. WATER: Sip a lot of water throughout day and night if needed.

3. NO EXERCISE: Almost no exercise at all. Walking, stretching, minor household work (taking out trash, washing dishes, vacuuming, etc.) that's it.

4. FOOD: I eat two meals per day on average. Each meal contains: a) protein: organic meat, fish or eggs, b) fiber: vegetables/salad and c) carbs: gluten-free bread, white rice, yams, or potatoes. My first meal is 2-3 hours after I wake up and my last meal at least 1-2 hours before sleep. I also eat a light snack or sweets right before bed to get my blood sugar up and enable me to sleep well. I eat 3-4 sweets during the day. I know, everyone says, stay away from sugar, but my body loves simple sugar and works incredibly well on it (cane sugar, coconut sugar and maple syrup are the easiest for me to digest and help me digest food unlike fructose [fruit, honey] and lactose [milk and cheese]). I eat mostly milk chocolate and cornflakes or Swedish candy right after my meals and between my meals to help me digest foods and keep my blood sugar up throughout the day. I also have 2-4 coffees/cokes per day after or with meals, not on an empty stomach (caffeine helps me a lot). I have lost weight by eating as much sugar and caffeine as I want per day. I know it's crazy but it works for me. I don't overdo it, I eat only as much as it feels good to me (about 2-4 chocolates per day). I only eat fruit right before breakfast because it tends to ferment in me if I eat it after meals. I stay away from nuts, gluten, large amounts of milk, cheese and ice-cream, peanut butter and other nut butters. The only oils I use are: duck fat, pork fat, ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil. I think we need to concentrate on healing our liver and adrenals.

We may have fatty liver or some kind of virus attacking us right after a stressful experience such as (orgasm, exercise, massage, stressful conversation, stressful event, etc.) when our defenses/immunity is down.

Does anyone else have POIS symptoms after a stressful experience such as: exercise, massage, stressful event, etc.? Did anyone else start noticing POIS symptoms after gaining weight?

It could be that we need to drop our weight down significantly to get rid of the fat in our liver and then our liver will start working well again.

I hope this helps.
