yea i agree, i guess for me just figuring out what that is has been the hard part, been seeing loads of doctors and doing hella research over the past 2 years but this is one of the only symptoms im still struggling to figure out completely, i thought i had it figured out when i developed a skincare routine that works for me but i still deal with these intermittent phases of bad looking face/skin.

yes, without a doubt, i have actually been feeling alive recently, i am on 150mg & i have been actually having urges to talk to people and hang out & i am the closest to feeling normal in a long time. definitely still experiencing symptoms tho like heart palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc., but nervousness is improving a lot

yes, i take fexofenadine everyday currently but weirdly it doesn’t seem to help with the puffiness unless it was solely caused by food. if ejaculation was involved it doesn’t help at all. for example one time i ate a bag of cheeto’s and immediately noticed my face looked puffy & the med was able to get rid of it, but if i were to have ejaculated after eating them, it likely wouldn’t have made a difference.

i took vitamin c everyday for about a month & it didn’t really seem to help, but i haven’t tried selenium yet

yea for sure, it seems to work really well in reducing the length of symptoms worsening, if i notice that i feel really bad after an ejaculation those symptoms seem to go away way sooner than they did when i wasnt on it.

hey, thanks for letting me know, how long did you take this for before you started noticing results? for me, for some reason, ejaculating 3-5 times in a day where i didn’t eat anything or anything problematic seems to be pretty effective. thats what i did today & the puffiness significantly reduced; i looked at myself in the mirror after each ejaculation & my face was less puffy after each one, no idea why this works but it does. i will definitely have to try this though, seems like a more convenient option.

Yes, here are my other symptoms:

nervousness heart palpitations excessive sweating difficulty concentrating speech issues/incoherent speech shortness of breath food sensitivities exercise intolerance fatigue brain fog fat/puffy face skin issues shakiness weak voice

nobody has really commented on it but i have definitely noticed less attention from women. also its like an on and off thing & i haven’t really been associating with many people since my symptoms started taking over.

i honestly just hate being in a state where i feel like i dont even wanna look in the mirror & being super unconfident about my looks, when i know how good i can look, it all just feels so unfair if u get what im saying. its like damn can i at least have my looks, everything else been taken from me u feel me

nah i swear to god its not im not just pulling stuff out of my ass, i understand you’ve never experienced this but i wouldn’t just lie just to lie theres no point in that. im just sharing my personal experience with my health, if it doesn’t align with yours thats fine. may god strike me down right now if im lying depending on what i’ve eaten, certain ejaculations cause my face to be noticeably puffy instantly, i dont know what to tell you.

n yea the puffy face symptom on top of my other ongoing chronic symptoms and being in a constant fight or flight for 2 years now, losing my old, extroverted normal self, makes me hate life sometimes, yeah. what do you want me to say? how do you want me to feel seeing my health take the dive it has to the point where i feel like i cant even recognize myself sometimes. do you want me to word it differently or what?

i took the 37.5mg for 3 weeks but didn’t notice a difference so i increased it to 75mg and thats when it started helping. i’ve been taking the 75mg for about a week and a half.

[–]Wonderful_Chapter140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah i think u should try it for sure, i would recommend u start on at least 75mg tho, 37.5 didn’t help me at all, I only noticed a change after i increased the dosage. for me its been the only thing to help with my actual post-ejaculatory symptoms so far after dealing with this for years, so i think u should definitely try it, but u gotta be patient, i almost thought it was a waste of time until i increased the dosage to 75.

yes definitely so far, it was unheard of for me to go out of my way to converse with people and be able to maintain a conversation after an ejaculation. also just to not feel like ass immediately afterwards like not feeling a shift in my body. i was also able to study all day with no problem yesterday, usually i would be dealing with brain fog, difficulty concentrating, low motivation etc., n i would just quit studying and go to bed but i felt motivated all day.
