Just wondering if anyone has had this effect before, My Wife has been taking HGH for almost 5 Months, 2-3 IU Shots once a day. Over the last week her Skin started itchy badly… Personally ive been doing 4 IU per day for the same amount of time and have not had this issue
EDIT: Had the wrong UI amounts, Sorry
So just wanted to see if any one else has had this issue or if its unrelated
Thanks for any help!
Are you kidding!! 40 iu/day can cause serious issues. WTH are you running so high for. 10 iu is bodybuilding levels, 4-5 is fat loss and 2 is maintenance.
So you’re spending $100 per day or so on GH?
Sorry i Got the amounts wrong… It only 2-3 IU per day and Im taking 4, My bad
Sorry I freaked out, but those were crazy numbers.
To your question, no I’ve never had itching issues, just stuff like carpal tunnel pain.
Try reducing her dose if you have to then bring it back up later
Edit: GH stimulates growth of cells in the body. It may be a nerve stimulus she is feeling or the sloughing off of old skin. Have you tried a good moisturizer?
@mrgills
If you’re still around MrGills did do you have any more info on this please? Did it stop or did you try any treatments?
I’m getting the same reaction, I only just put two and two together so haven’t worked out how soon after it starts or how long after a shot it lasts but appreciate any further feedback.
I saw a few references mentioning it with mentions of the hGH inflaming existing skin conditions, causing mild symptoms that stop as the body adjusts, the use of antihistamines to control the reaction and in some cases stopping of the hGH because of concerns of a worse reaction.
For me its very similar to the allergic reaction I get to the grain mites (Acarus sp.) found in fruit fly (Drosophila sp.) cultures.
A mild crawling sensation; with the mites its if I touch my face after handling them but stops if I rinse my face, this is much less severe but occurs across more of my body.
Annoying more than uncomfortable.
Quick update;
I started hGH and within 2 days I was getting the above symptoms, on the 3rd day I added an antihistamine (Loratadine) and the symptoms subsided dramatically within 24 hours.
After a few days of this I stopped the Loratadine and had no symptoms after a Friday night shot (4iu hGH), my next shot was the Monday evening and within 2 hours of taking it I started to get the itching feeling again so will now take the Loratadine regularly and monitor.
i also have the antihistamine cetirizine so will trial that shortly (I had planned to try both together but apparently this can lead to complications.)
