Possible PCT side effect?

[Steve The Bluesman]

Well, I am almost done with my PCT (I finish next tuesday) but I have been having issues.

Every night I wake up after about 3 hours and my legs and my shoulders itch like a motherfucker. It is a stinging, painful type of itch that you can't ignore, that just flares up. No redness, no bumps, no nothing on the skin.

At first I thought it was dry skin, so now I use dove sensitive skin soap, use a bit of baby oil while still wet from the shower, changed sheets, towels, laundry detergent...but the fucking itch remains.

I get up at 2am every night pissed off and spray 1/2 a bottle of solarcaine on the itch, which at least allows me to get back to sleep. I also pop advil and bendryl to numb it. I have tried aloe, aloe with lidocain, cortaid (hydrocrtizone) and i fucking itch and itch.

This morning I trimmed all my leg hair down to 1/4 inch, thinking maybe the ape hair was contributing too it. We'll see.

Is there any chance it is the nolva or the trib drying me out? Anyone else ever have this? Suggestions?

Thanks, I am cracking up from sleep depravation.

Yeah agree with Boz - It sounds like a histamine reaciotn based on possible irritation caused by certain allergens – also something I notice is that heat (while your under covers in bed acts as a catalyst to "hyperdermagraphic" allergic reaciotns).

... and worth bearing in mind that fluctuating hormone levels will impact the condition of your skin – if it’s dry then even more chance that it will become itchy and sensitive. Strange you don’t have any type of rash though(?)

You may have just developed an alergy to something.....The reason i say this is because that happended to me before...a couple years ago. On my 1st cycle right now so it wasn't the gear for me....and maybe it's just a coincidence that it is happening to you while on pct.
One day I developed an itchy sensation all over my body....it would not go away....(got worse after showers) I changed all my soaps, my diet, my laundry detergents, stopped wearing colognes....nothing worked. so I went to the docs....It was driving me nuts! he said that it sounded like an alergy of some sort and gave me some sample packs of extra strength claritin....they went away within 30 minutes for 3 days...then came back...I have been taking them every 3rd day for 2 years now. The doc said they are not bad for you when taking over long periods so I continue to take them as I havent found any other way to stop the irritation.
Give it a try, or maybe another antihistamine.....good luck!
