Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS) In rare cases, some people experience a recognized condition called Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS). This causes flu-like symptoms\u2014including extreme fatigue, achiness, brain fog, and low mood\u2014that can last for several days following an orgasm.

Its called Magpie Sky. Jon&#8217;s just had Cds pressed of the last album we recorded.  He has a promoter and stuff will be going to folk mags and reviewers. Its being released in September. He is a plucky fellow if nothing else. Jon&#8217;s music is contemporary folk with some blues and country influence pretty much with a bit of trad and sung with a north Kent estuary accent. Jon listens to all sorts of music. Even mine .We all  just keep pottering along making hay whilst we can. Knowing that we cant change things, that&#8217;s for others to do. So keep playing your guitars and flues and fiddles and accordions and whatnots and  sing when you can while you may and know you and I are old fools mostly dear readers but at least we can&#8217;t do too much harm.
