Hi all,
I am looking for some insight and hopefully some answers to this current issue.
I finished my first cycle last month. I ran IGF-1 DES 5 days per week at 40mcg post workout for 4 weeks and 60mcg post workout for the 5th week. Injections were IM.
During the first week I noticed a very mild, small rash on my ribs and arm. I thought nothing of it regarding relation to the cycle. The mild rashes continued on and off during my cycle and have gotten progressively worse each time they arise. Even now 4 weeks after my cycle I am still continuing to have these recurring rashes. This one is by far the worst (see pictures attached) and has even developed on my stomach, member and inner thighs. (Don't worry, no member pics).
The rash itself is nothing more than a maculopapular reaction which has been induced by some sort of allergy or sensitivity occurring on a systemic level. Currently on prednisone to treat this.
My question for everyone is, given the symptoms occurring at the same time as the cycle (first time experience of these symptoms ever), is it safe to assume it is caused by the DES? Why do you believe it is continuing weeks after the cycle? And finally, has anyone else experienced these or similar symptoms?
Thank you very much in advance for your replies.
