Itching

[FUZO]

Whern I get out of the shower in the morning and i'll dry myself off about 3 minutes later my legs start to itch so damn bad. Its like torture. I'll then either use some lotion and that wont help or i'll get back in the shower and use cold water to run over my legs and that wont help. I just have to deal with it then it goes away like 10 minutes later. Heres the kicker when I take a shopwer at night it doesnt happen. How the fuk does that happen. No itching at night. I swear I get so mad when it starts to itch

Re: Itching

i use to have this happen on my feet. does it feel like there i swelling going on also. I always assumed it was from dehydration. If you drink some ice water right away it goes away much quicker. try it out.

Re: Itching

One of the main symptoms of this condition is intense itching following a shower/bath. This condition also has to do with an increase in red blood cells whic can also be a result of anabolic supplements.

Secondary polycythemia
Secondary polycythemia is caused by either natural or artificial increases in the production of erythropoietin, hence an increased production of erythrocytes. In secondary polycythemia, there may be 6 to 8 million and occasionally 9 million erythrocytes per cubic millimeter (microliter) of blood. Secondary polycythemia resolves when the underlying cause is treated.
Secondary polycythemia in which the production of erythropoietin increases appropriately is called physiologic polycythemia. This physiologic (meaning normal) polycythemia is a normal adaptation to living at high altitudes (see altitude sickness). Many athletes train at high altitude to take advantage of this effect — a legal form of blood doping. Similarly, athletes with primary polycythemia may have a competitive advantage due to greater stamina.

Other causes of secondary polycythemia include smoking, renal or liver tumors, hemangioblastomas in the central nervous system, heart or lung diseases that result in hypoxia, and endocrine abnormalities including pheochromocytoma and adrenal adenoma with Cushing's syndrome. People whose testosterone levels are high because of the use anabolic steroids, including athletes who abuse steroids and people whose doctors put them on doses that are too high, as well as people who take erythropoietin may develop secondary polycythemia.

Secondary polycythemia can be induced directly by phlebotomy to withdraw some blood, concentrate the erythrocytes, and return them to the body.

That started to get scary. So it's normal for people on high levels of supplemental hormone replacement.

My legs do the exact same thing. I've scratched them raw, drew blood, up high on my upper quads. I thought it was from low humidity. Mine do it worse during the winter. I think alot of mine is from being dry. My sides and back would get just as bad up in South Carolina and Kentucky in the winter. But, like with you Fuzo, now that I think about it, I can remember wondering why in the hell lotion doesn't help.
I always said it's cause I'm like a fish out of water, when I would be far inland. I knew I needed humidity.

Re: Itching

Do you have a water softener? Sometimes hard water causes this.
