    Serious Question

    So I just started my 3rd week of Test E injections. First cycle I have ever done.

    For some reason I start itching like a mother****** randomly. I've noticed I start itching when i am about to sex or when I am beginning my workout. Its probably the most intense itching I have ever had. And its not just one spot its my entire upper body. Nowhere on my legs itch or my arms. Its all my upper body (back, shoulders, chest, stomach).

    I never itch really any other time. There are random spurts when I am at work and i start. Nothing seems to help except just waiting it out.

    Any advice on why or how it is doing this or if it is just normal.

    Im a newby guys take it easy on me haha.

    1) get a water softener for your house

    2) use body lotion

    3) invest in a back scratcher

    A water filter is not the same thing.

    A water softener, utilizing an ionic exchange process, pulls calcium/magnesium/manganese and other minerals out of the water system and replaces it with very low levels of salt (no worries, you can't taste it). It is these minerals that build up scale in the plumbing and in the shower, that can also make you itch. So you bath in soft water, and when you get out, your skin feels a little softer.

    Are you running an Aromatase Inhibitor like Arimidex or Aromasin to manage Estrogen (E2) levels?

    I get this sometimes when my skin gets dry and I break a sweat. It's a seasonal thing.

    This^^. Recently and does not happen all the time to me. But feels like skin is on fire and itchy. But only happens random times. So it's not an allergy

    It could also be a alergic reaction to the oil such as cotton seed. There are a few people in the past that have had issues with the carrier. Yours may be mild enough that lotion will help.

    Take a benadryl 1 or 2x a day and it will probably help a lot also.

    Sorry for taking so long to get back on....

    MickeyKnox......I've tried lotion and the itching still persists. This is the only thing ive noticed since starting. I havent had puffy nipples or an increase in acne.

    Mikey Hulk...... Yeah its the most intense itching i have ever had. and my co workers think im crazy cause my body doesnt show any signs of rash or a reason for it to itch. They just see me run to the nearest corner and start scratching my back on it.

    ChiveOn...... I havent used one yet because i have no other side effects for my estrogen levels.


    Lovbyts..... Its not an allergic reaction because it is not constant. it happens at random times and will only last for 1-2 min.

    You don't need puffy nipples or acne to require an increase in your AI. This is where experience really shines.

    ^^^^Agree!

    Do you put oil in your car, or do you first wait till your engine starts shaking itself to bits, before you put in some oil?

    Ha i was just being a smart ass bro. Meaning, he SHOULD consider an AI. At least i would, especially if he's not using one and if i were itchy like that at that particular stage of my cycle.
