So if I don't eat any eggs or peanut butter, no itch, also the sun would make it worse, especially wearing pants, my legs would itch like crazy.

Yea bro that's why I wanna get tested. This is only my 2nd cycle and not to say I don't eat a lot off cycle but when I'm on, I eat all kinds of food (all kindz). Sometimes, just increasing antigen exposure can trigger responses in people with trigger happy IgE antibodies like myself. That's why I'm hoping it's something stupid like mayonnaise or eggs. If it turns out to be some legit thing like beef, whey or gear, life is gonna suck real bad.

@lovbyts: I considered it but I'd rather be in a controlled environment when I do it... In case my throat closes up or something (I know it's highly unlikely).

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes I would get little red spots mostly on my upper body and wear clothes were in contact with my skin. I went to an allergist and had tests done but was not allergic to anything.

Tell me, did your skin break out in little blisters like 30 mins to an hr after the stinging started? And I agree, I avoid abx like a plague. Those things ruin gut homeostasis like a mother****er

Man I had the same exact problem a few years ago but I was also 270 pound football player. I would literally sweat in the walk to the next class in the hallway. I'm talking dripping sweat. It was bad, but then I dropped alot of weight and it went away for me. What's your height weight bodyfat etc.?

When my problems started, I wasn't on gear. I had just put on a ton of weight from stress (life sucked). 190lb to 270 in 2 years. Test or the absence of never made a difference. Labs were fine. Always had hypersensitivity since childhood. Tried antihis, cyclosporine, methotrexate and leukotriene antagonist: all failed. Only thing that works are corticosteroids but the side effects....

I'm sure there is a cholinergic urticria component but like previous posters, I also get the difficulty in initiating sweats but when i did, I sweated profusely and i got the miliaria type bubbles everywhere. Feels like fire ants

For most, this spontaneously resolves and some need lifelong treatment.

Were your symptoms similar?
And did you just resolve spontaneously?

Sounds like too much histamine swaying around. E2 can trigger histamine release for some.

If anti-histamines fail, try some methylB12 to get rid of it.

Avoid megadoses of niacin as these deplete the labile methyl groups pool leading to increased circulating histamine.

I love histamine btw, it gives me a solid burst of energy. Sometimes I will take niacinamide for that purpose only. It can also boost sex drive in some.

In all honesty it could be anything from E2 to an UTI infection. Get bloods. I was the same. Kidneystone removed..back to normal.

Hello,
I hate that you are having this issue. Please don't do anything to harm yourself. I have the same problem. I actually am using the cream and apply about 400mg daily to inner thigh. After the itching started I had to stop. However, I noticed the itching continued after almost 3weeks of non use, but it had decreased in severity and was very tolerable. My amerature hypothesis is that if you are still itching, even a little, the Testosterone is still in your system. So, now I will do four applications on the inner thigh, and if the itching gets bad I stop using. The itching is actually a blessing, and is like my own little Testosterone meter. Too much itching stop, no itching and erection issues, take another dose. My libido is good with this method (spontaneous erections), and I don't spend as much money on product. Also, I will supplement with a formulated cialis from local Men's Health clinic as needed, but rare. Cheaper from them than from big pharmaceutical company. In summary, when the itching gets bad stop dosing until side effects decrease. Another point; I am married and in a loving committed relationship, so I think you need that as well. Nothing puts your mind at ease when you know your wife is willing to help you work through these issues. Also, don't forget about foreplay. I am writing to you from a Christian perspective, and I will be praying that everything works out for you, or anyone else who reads this. God will bless any union ordained by him.
