Starting an official study on PSSD's pathophysiology & its cure
Posted: Thu May 28, 2020 6:51 pm
Hello guys/gals!
I have not been around the forum recently because of work overload on my research discord server taking up all my time. However, I'm offering the community as a whole something to look forward to:
1- I will upload my Q&A channel to the forum. You can read some excellent PSSD-related questions asked by my patrons and my answer to said questions. Here's the .html file, you only need to download it and use a browser to open it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10y0cS30YCvB2-yZ0WMj9AtydFkk_p_Hi/view?usp=sharing
2- Many of you might know of taarn-meso collaboration on research-reviewing for PSSD pathophysiology, symptomatic relief, and cure attempting. I have since copied, rewritten, and currently organizing the #science-and-theory channel in a .docx file that is easily browsed and understood by the layman. Once I'm done with it, I'll upload it here.
3- Perhaps the biggest news is the starting of an official study on PSSD at my university. We have already started the preliminary work into PSSD, but we won't move on to the research itself until it's funded.
I know many of you are very disappointed by the Baylor study. So, I've recognized that transparency and communication with the community are of utmost importance. For this, I offer the following to ensure transparency:
PRE-RESEARCH:
1- Q&A regarding labwork.
2- Financial outline- how much we need each month/ in advance and how it will be spent.
3- An official legal notice from university granting their facilities to Dr.Moustafa (my colleague and professor) for labwork involving, specifically, Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction. Please remember that this is not a 2-man's job, as many other professors will be involved as well.
4- One-year plan (roadmap) in written form, shared with the community. Please remember that the roadmap isn't rigid and we may improvise as needed.
5- Sharing our credentials, CVs and roadmap with Dr. Healy and Dr.Goldstein -- hoping for their endorsement.
DURING RESEARCH:
1- Possible inter-department communication as further proof (emails, etc, would be for @FrogPSSD's eyes only as agreed).
2- Research reviewing takes place on discord and studies are posted (my usual work).
3- One vlog per month including some footage of the lab and outlining findings from that month and plan for next month.
4- Study-centered Q&A every 2 weeks with meso and maybe the Dr.
Week 1: Nothing
Week 2: Q&A
Week 3: Nothing
Week 4: Vlog
5- Occasional photos of the lab work with the Dr in them, possibly 1 per week but depends on workload.
6- Monthly financial report showing money in (donations) and money out (where it’s been spent).
---------------------------------------------------
I need to emphasize what we are offering overall:
- Complete transparency and frequent interaction with the community.
- Our credentials, CVs and roadmap will be shared with Dr. Healy and Dr.Goldstein -- hoping for their endorsement.
- It will be animal studies aimed at finding the cause and then a cure; offering to work on a cure as a final point once we’ve discovered the pathophysiology - not just a random study.
- Bargain price (22K USD per year) considering that it's not just a 2-man's job - many professors will be involved as needed.
- Having the condition myself, as a researcher involved, would ensure complete dedication on my part.
- A cure is our final goal -- we are not considering high ranking publications as key priority.
- We will publish these studies officially.
Thank you for your continued support!
