Any of you experience this as well?

[OCEANN100]

I also get reactions when I'm on the phone.

[patmhalp]

yes, that's what makes it out of this world weird, it's not just a weird smell

[mindspace]

It's definitely not a smell. It's much more than that.

[drdeep]

can you provide more details? what type of phone? what do you hear at the other end? coughing, sneezing, sniffing?

[OCEANN100]

I usually experience heavy breathing, coughing, and sniffling.  

[drdeep]

is this happening with
a) traditional cell phone conversation
b) through VoIP (internet talk) conversation,
c) videochat
d) all of the above

[OCEANN100]

All of the above

[drdeep]

have you had this happen to you while  on a conference call with multiple people? unlike in a one-on-one conversation, in a conference call you might be able to mute and unmute your phone while others talk. That way you can experiment and see if they only react when your microphone is not muted. That would be evidence that PATM gets captured through the mic, digitalized and transmitted through broadband. Everyone who has video or audio conference calls should experiment with muting the mic and see if reactions happen only when unmuted.

I think we sometimes overthink our situation. I often time see live sporting events or news and can see people coughing. As ridiculous as it sounds, I began to think it was also do to my PATM until I started seeing groups like this.

[mindspace]

Yeah sometimes it's kind of PATMophobia. Don't be obsessed with that. It makes things worse. Not every person coughs because of us. People that have allergy or a heavy smokers coughs constantly.

[Hailstormer]

When I did have it, it went through walls and I can hear my neighbor having sneezing attacks. I've been 99.9 percent patm free since I've abstained from sex.

[drdeep]

Yes, there are many reports here that it gets better when abstaining from sexual activity. I think this is the case for men. Are you male?

[mindspace]

When men ejaculate they lose zinc. Zinc is important for our condition.

[Hailstormer]

Hailstorm is male--I will have sex again when the time is right, but for now, it's nice to feel confident around people again.

The reactions I receive are only about 10% coughs.   people act more like I poked them with something.  example slap at their ears and then look around to see who did it.  I'm currently on the Las Vegas strip this week gathering more video.  It may not help with the  cure but I'm seeing a swing in belief from friends the more I record.

To people going through PATM,try to take a lot of probiotics,drink lot of clean warm water and eat healthy a lot .. I hope this answer help u guys because it seems the effects of my patm started to lose its effects after 3 weeks(people still sneeze when I talked but there is no anymore a cough sounds).I believe the patm was actually a bad gas that was released from our stomach and we need to care for it.Hope this help u.
