I began to have physical symptoms that had not appeared before
Hello everyone, for years I have been observing my POIS symptoms, they have always been on the mental side (bunch of brain fog, depression, extreme fatigue, speech problems, short term memory problems) but I had never really experienced the physical symptoms that other people often talk about, like muscle pain, back pain, etc.
But recently I started experiencing the following symptoms:
- Extremely tired and very dry eyes. No matter how much lubrication eye drops I use, they don't seem to help. The eye symptoms last for days, actually longer than my usual mental symptoms, my eyes symptomps stay like at least 10 days before I finally start "recovering my normal vision" The best way I can describe it is that my eyes feel extremely fatigued, somewhat watery at times, while also having symptoms of dry eyes, I also experience light sensitivity on the first days after O, vision problems overall.
- Neck posture changes: I've also noticed that my head tends to shift forward and almost as if I naturally want to look downward all the time. It could be due to neck muscle fatigue? or something else, but my posture definitely gets worse during periods of POIS now
I don't know why I've started experiencing these physical symptoms now. The mental symptoms were already terrible, but now the physical ones are having a major impact on my quality of life.
The only thing I've changed in my stack is that I started taking antihistamine (loratadine) sometimes before orgasm and sometimes afterward... and started doing it a couple of months ago, so not sure if it's related but I will definitely discontinue Loratadine for a couple of months.
Any advice?
EDIT: I also don't know if this is related, but there a major change in my lifestyle happened as well. I finished university and started working remotely, which means I now spend most of my time at home, I barely get any sunlight, and I rarely go out or see friends anymore. I've become much more isolated, and I think it's worth mentioning because these physical symptoms started appearing just a few weeks after this lifestyle change.
