Hi again! Do you feel like your body is always tense? Like constantly having to relax your shoulders, your jaw, your pelvic floor, or even your legs?
Do you think that being constantly tense could trigger some kind of sensitivity or disorder that might contribute to POIS?
Hey again! I came across a post recently about pelvic floor muscles and it really clicked for me. I’ve noticed that my boyfriend seems to have this area a bit weak and sometimes even painful, and I feel like it could be connected to his POIS symptoms.
Do any of you feel like your pelvic floor muscles are weak? Have you noticed that your ejaculation feels weaker, or even painful or burning sometimes?
Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if you feel pain in your cervical area. If yes, do you think the pain starts there and then spreads to your shoulders, head, and even affects other parts of your body?
Does it leave you extremely weak with burning muscles, burning eyes, sensitivity to light, irritability, depression, anxiety, brain fog, or even flu-like symptoms like sneezing, congestion, or fever?
Hi again! I’m back with another question about my boyfriend’s POIS and I wanted to hear from you all. I’m really curious about your bodies. Are you thin, overweight, or athletic? Did you have a history of being sedentary or have you always been active in sports?
With POIS, I imagine gaining muscle is harder and things like poor sleep or not getting deep, restful sleep probably affect all of this too. I watch my boyfriend closely and I think it’s really impressive how people still manage to get up and do their things despite all the challenges POIS brings.
So my basic question is: are you below, above, or around a healthy weight?
Hi! I learned about POIS because of my boyfriend and I have a few questions.
What’s life like for you all?
I imagine many of you have a long history with masturbation, but he experiences itching all over his body after orgasm and has to take antihistamines. His eyes burn and get red, his skin changes and looks strange, he feels extremely weak, and he also reports a burning sensation around his prostate, maybe in the prostate itself, after orgasm.
He even starts showing flu-like symptoms, sneezing for example, just from producing pre-ejaculate. He says he gets terrible neck pain that spreads to his head, shoulders, and even makes his legs weak. He feels completely drained, depressed, and unmotivated. He has had this since early adolescence and says POIS has really ruined his life because it affects so many areas.
Do any of you have similar symptoms?
I would also like to know if any of you have tried eating really well and exercising, like swimming, going to the gym, basically living an active life.
He says he really needs activities that move and strengthen his whole body. He suffers so much and I feel a lot of empathy, plus I love him so much. I want to marry him and it breaks my heart to see him like this.
He even gets red skin if he comes into contact with his own semen.
He has read everything he could.
Please, has anyone tried living like an athlete, for example, to strengthen their body and try to live away from this really sad reality?
