Explains a lot. Thanks man. I remember I had POIS before when I started NoFap. In that time I was also on creatine!
Creatine does have benefits for me though like: increased strength, increased cognitive ability
I think I will cycle it. If I do not sleep good tonight I will immediately quit it instead of doing it another 1-2 weeks.
Just see if this is a reason for your POIS. Since recently pre Creatine, you seemed to have good energy and no POIS. So lets see if Creatine is causing this.
This is actually good if we figure out this in your case. Since in that case we will know for sure that you are missing metabolism. not anaboilc side
As I said before. even if people recover from PFS, they still start fucking around with supplements and other things, drugs hormones and it is a huge chance they will get fucked up again.
Since they will try to do things that make them feel better. And things that make you feel better, usually cause the opposite reaction when you come off.
this is why for me personally, if I have some symptom, I usually look for something that makes that symptom worse. and I take that substance.
And when I get off of it, that symptoms gets better than before.
but people do the opposite, they take things that make them better. that is called substitution. So lets say if you have insensitive cortisol, people take cortisol and feel better, but then they need more more more and more of it.
So eventually a person who does substitution approach ends up taking like 20 supplements. since he created more and more imbalances taking different stuff.
I think supplements industry, supplements, hormones, all kinds of stuff, is what causes most of current diseases in humans.
People have a headache, they take tylenol. they have temperature , they take some stuff against it.
They oversex, they take things to increase sex drive. When they need to slow down. not increase it.
It is basically drug addicts, no different. People seem to not be able to live without supps, or altering stuff.
this is why the only religion that makes sense for me is Daoism. meaning that everything has to be in moderation. Moderation in everything means balance= the most maxium strength
But peopel are not like that, they have ego. And they thing by taking something they can be better than other people. But it is false. taking something will unbalance a person and always make him weaker than the balanced person
Of course if you take something that makes you balanced, you will be stronger. but since people take dosages of stuff which are huge always, like over RDA . This will never happen,. they always overshoot to another side.
Like test. if someone takes testosterone 30mg , that would balance that person out, with zero suppression. if that person has lower levels of testosterone
but people take like 500mg a week)) and this causes you to be not in balance anymore, you get weak and imbalanced. And you get even run 100 meters without breathing heavy ))
Like if someone needs zinc lets say , a person goes ahead and take 25mg , that is many time over RDA. and you need to take a dose way less than RDA .
Like 1 mg, or 2mg. to balance yourself out. And obviously that zinc causes bad effects for a person and person quits zinc, and think he does not need it, although he did need it only in dose of 1 mg a day , to be balanced with copper,
that person spents 1 mg a day more of zinc than copper, lets say , and 1 mg of zinc balances him out, but 25 mg of zinc fuckes him
And this is basically in everything in every supplement. SO supplement industry is evil
