Anyone feel hot / itchy while on cycle?

[20sam91]

Anyone get this? The itchiness is really annoying - I tend to get it at the beginning of a training session and have no idea what's causing it. Currently running 600mg test e per week. I've heard people say it may be due to increased metabolic rate etc but I'm not convinced..

Are you taking any preworkouts or supplements with beta alanine or niacin?


Im sweaty as fuck on cycle and feel warm but never itchy..

 

[little slice]

wash yourself

Check your hemoglobin etc...
Might need blood donation

Had this as stated above high haemoglobin blood donation sorted it

 

[20sam91]

I initially thought that too. Tested hemoglobin twice last night though and it came out at 16.1 and 16.4. My meter could be lying to me but idk..

Never used a pre workout either so it isn't that

Only if manipulating Thyroid, or cutting. As soon as the calories begin to be used by my system, I will break out in a sweat.

I never have had itchy feeling. How does a messed up hematocrit cause itchiness?

Maybe a yeast infection.

Generally in the presence of an elevated hematocrit, red blood cells count is also elevated. In the cases such as discussed on BB fourms would be termed secondary polycythemia mixed with relative polycythemia.

With secondary polycythemia, there's an increase in histamine release, from an increased number of basophils and mast cells. Normally the itching people experience with polycythemia are from post showering in hot water.

Interesting. I guess that makes sense. I've just never experienced it. My hemoglobin only was up 3 points over normal so I just went and donated double red.

Possibly allergic reaction to the carrier or substance itself...

That could be, but he did say it happens at the beginning of a training session and didn't specify that it was right after pinning. I would think if one were allergic to a carrier that you'd experience something like that right after you pinned it. I've never had any reactions like this like I said so I can't speak to any of it personally.

Agree.
Sounds like an allergic reaction. Review any different foods or supps.

Exactly as described after a hot shower for me, like prickling all over and kinda itchy. My mother has a high iron issue, so I probably do as well.
Time to give blood!

I was not joking lol. I would start to itch when I would start to sweat back and head. I had a dermatologist appointment for a skin check and he notice my back was a little dry and ask does it itch he said it was a yeast infection that comes from sweating a lot. He prescribed some type of shampoo and it went away.

high dht and test for long periods can do this to some people. cannot tolerate test cycles for more than 6 week anymore. longer than that and it starts to really affect skin ,bodyhair, hair pretty bad. took a long time to figure this out.

Make sure youre not allergic to the oils too.

I also used to get this and donating blood took care of it.
