    Why am I so f'n itchy!!!?

    Been on my 2nd cycle now for 6 weeks.
    Test 750mg a wk
    EQ 600mg a wk
    deca 500mg a wk

    My first cycle was the same cycle but a lot smaller dosages and I didn't have this problem. I don't know if it's because of the gear or something else but my feet and legs itch more than anything and it itches so bad that now I have cuts n shit all over my feet and legs from itching so much. And red little sores all over. Looks like I have chicken pox no joke. now my stomach and ass itch and it's driving me nuts! Any thoughts or advice you guys can give me?

    You could simply be manifesting symptoms of hypersensitivity to one or all of the compounds injected.

    What you described.. are hives.

    I'm not sure if is it's a histamine based response, thus i can't say if taking anti-histamines would be beneficial.

    It couldn't hurt tho... I'd suggest Claritin non-drowsy namely.

    Why the histamine-response is debatable is because some steroids (winstrol for example) are used as treatments of some allergies (and non-allergy, allgery-simulative disorders e.g. angioedema)

    Your reaction could possibly be in response to injections period. You are after all injecting a foreign body into your own... are you not?

    The hives possibly illustrate an immuno-response.

    It'd be very difficult to say what exactly.

    It could be the combination of Test; EQ and deca ...all of which increase RBC (red blood cell) count.

    Increased RBC count can result in itching (for example, the blood disorder "polycythemia vera" is characterised by high RBC/WBC and platelet counts... and it's symptoms are: Headaches; Itching; Dizziness).

    This is just off the top of my head...Hope it sheds some light

    I have had anaphylactic shock before - it started out with swelling and basically itchy hives - then my throat swelled up which then led to my lungs collapsing... be careful... if you feel restriction in your throat - get to the ER immediately... especially if anti-histamines don't work - and try Benedryl. In the hospital I was pumped full of IV Benedryl, Prednisone and Epeniphrine - and pain killers... ya, lots of fun! blah...

    That's ill man...

    That's what i was saying in my prior post... We are, after all, injecting a foreign body.

    The process of injection is an invasion of sorts (i'm thinking along the lines of a bee-sting for example)..and as such can result in the process you reported above.

    I'm glad you came through safely.

    I never found out what my allergy was/is... I was in the Balkans at the time it happened - so could have been anything... and I may never come across it again. Doc said it had to have been something I injected to get such a reaction. It could have been some bad tuna I ate in the chow hall that day (insert joke here)... tasted weird. And he also said that everytime it will get worse... I got a deadly bee sting out there - but never figured out what it is...

    had the same thing. took benedryl. it helps to stop the itching. also try putting some baby powder on your skin. its very good for all types of skin irratations. my doc said it was from an allergy. took a couple months to go away.

    Took some claritin last night and haven't been itchy all day. The hives are still there but they look a lot better since I'm not itching them. I guess I'm stuck with them for the rest of the cycle. If they get worse I'll go to the doc but they seems to just be staying on the leg area, a few on the stomach but thats it. Thanks for the info guys. Juicy sauce...if those are your arms in your avatar omfg they're HUGE! I'm jealous

    thanks bro, but i dont think you want to be this size. you cant fit into some places, like on the rides at wonderland. its embarasing when they cant close the bar over your chest and they ask you to get off the ride and everyones watching... so did you try the baby powder? a rash likes moist skin and when you douce it with baby powder it some how stops the spreading. let me know.
