Brooks research Q/A

Unread post by Brooks Esq. »

Hello users, my name is Brooks and I'am new to this forum. I have extensively studied PSSD for the past 5 years, I'am 26 years old. I have made PSSD one of my specialties for the past several years and I have accumulated much research into the condition. I have several degrees in law, not medicine. However, I still consider myself to be the top specialist in this rare disorder; I have fielded questions from doctors all over the world about this condition.

I dont usually deal with PSSD sufferers directly because a lot of them are super mean and nasty, or they are super depressing ("oh god this is permanent we should all just die"). You all seem like a positive bunch of people who are just like me; just trying to find the cure and move on with your lives. One of my friends (and fellow sufferer) begged me to get on here stating that I'am not helping anyone doing my research solo, I agree it is selfish to keep all my research to myself. The good news is, this condition is not permanent, it is reversible and I have had full-temporary reversals before, which is proof this not a death certificate.

Although I cannot give medical advice, I will be happy to field any questions about the actual disease, as well as my past experiments and research. I will respond as soon as I can when my schedule allows.

Hello I'd like to start off by asking what your symptoms/experiences have been? What do you believe is the root of the problem for most sufferers?

Also what do you mean by full-temporary reversal? Why do you believe the results weren't permanent?

Haha umm okay - a bit of a big claim to make, but let's see.

Here's my question: How do we cure PSSD?

I don't think there's a more important question.

Welcome. Always excited to hear a new theory based on good/thorough research!

(1) I have sexual dysfunction including genital numbness, erectile dysfunction, soft glans syndrome (Life is gone out of penis), inability to ejaculate- and when I do ejaculate I have to force it (its really hard to explain), I have beyond sexual dysfunction, but a complete and utter loss of any kind of sexuality. Its hard to love, I dont get that rush, that oxytocin release, nothing. I also have the severe cognitive/memory impairments, a constant fog that numbs out my loved ones and surroundings.

(2) what do I believe is the root cause for most sufferers? Iam very familiar with the serotonin theories most sufferers believe is the cause (SERT and 5ht1a). I do not believe this is the culprit. I have personally done experiments with Fenclonine, Acute Tryptophan Depletion method using a 19-amino acid drink of 110 Grams, the acute tryptophan depletion did not make a difference at all, and the fenclonine made the one subject WORSE and the worsening lasted beyond discontinuation of the substance; this negates the claims of there being too much serotonin. I have also placed an order for Robalzotan, that way I can fully rule out any 5ht1a involvement; I plan to use it with a DMSO mixture through the skin. Part of me wonders if the problem might lie with oversensitation of the receptors. I personally think there might me an issue with neuropetides and/or spinal signaling, I recently have focused my research into Hydrogen Sulfide and Vasoactive intestinal peptide. I plan to know a lot more after this year when we can go through some more tests.

(3) I have had almost a full reversal the first week of using MSM, this brought the life back into the genitalia for a week. In fact, I had an appointment with a urologist to discuss my issues and I told him the MSM fixed me and I was all better now, but thank you. Of course, this would be too good for me so it had to go away after a week; the fact I had such a reversal is proof that this condition doesnt have to be permanent. I have also had reversal for an entire week by first starting Viibryd, then when that went away I had a full reversal for a day when I mixed viibryd and buspar together; but these reversals from Viibryd and Buspar occurred when I was first developing PSSD. I have had mild reversal when having accupuncture done, but it only lasted for as long as the needles were in.

Where MSM worked the strongest, and it started working for other people as well, perhaps we can start focusing on its mechanism of action. I personally think maybe it effected the level of hydrogen sulfide which is a necessary component for sexual and memory function. Or maybe because PSSD has some gastrointenstinal effects (like constipation) maybe vasoactive intestinal peptides may be effected since that is a necessary component for sexual function.

In order to cure it we have to know what causes it lol. It is ignored by medical science. We need to pull our minds together to run a few tests and find any abnormalities. Or if something does work, find its mechanism of action and this might get us clues. I will be happy to answer any of your other questions.

Thank you for your time Brooks. Why do you think some people recover by time alone and some do not? What are your plans if you do discover a cure?
