I've told people and doctors, and nobody even believes it happens. I am so glad to know I am not alone! Yoga has never been a problem for me, neither has the elliptical machine. So, I tend to stick to those. What an immense relief to know I am not alone! Now, if only someone could find a way to avoid it. My whole family runs, and I've sadly never been able to join the,.

My husband told me it was psychological and that I was crazy. It is extreme itchiness that prohibits me from functioning properly. Pilates from now on. What a relief. I suffer from the same thing.

It started last summer. It always happens when I run, but I didn't know why. I've asked a few people and you'd be surprised that this happens to more people than you think. Most say it due to poor blood circulation. Thanks for the info. I'll keep searching for more solutions. I can’t believe that I’m not the only one who experiences this. It started last summer.

After a run or walk I look down at my things and they look striped from all the scratching I have done during the run! I have scratched so hard that I have bruised the skin. It is so frustrating. I think it helps to wear long pants,but that is hard in hot weather. I wish I knew why this happens... This has been happening to me to for as long as I can remember!

I didn't know that many other people suffered from it! It is AWFUL!! I don't get a rash...well I don't think I do, but I scratch so hard that I have actually broken the skin a couple of times...It usually starts when I start sweating and then if I can power through it sometimes stops about 20-25 minutes in - - - and this is just from walking at a pretty brisk pace - but not running...If I run, it's not just my legs that itch..it's my stomach..even underneath my sports bra!! I always have to cut my walks short because the itching just gets to be too much...It goes away after 5 minutes of non-activity...I've tried lotions and different clothing...I wish there was an answer!!!!

I used to hate taking long walks with friends and running at a distance was a no no. I am not overweight or anything but it is almost impossible to get a physical fitness workout because I itch so bad. It discourages me from working out. I dont feel as bad knowing Im not the only one suffering. OMG..this has been happening to me since a kid. I used to hate taking long walks with friends and running at a distance was a no no.

It is such a relief to know that I am not the only one. This has been happening to me since I was a child. I never know when it's going to strike. My doctor recommended I keep a journal of it. He checked my circulation and it is fine. No matter what weight I am it has always occurred. It is sooooo horrible for me. I am not always in a position where I can just stop walking. Once, I was marcihng in a parade in high school and by the end of the parade my legs were hot enough to cook eggs on. They were red and numb. I had never had to keep walking that far before. Recently, I have discovered that running cold water on them brings immediate relief. Of course, I have to rest them for at least an hour. I usually elevate them. I've tried so many diferent things to keep this from happening. I do notice that when I take my zyrtec regularly (every night) it does not happen. Until today, I never knew anyone else who experienced this. I am not glad that others are suffering but, I am thankful to find that I am not crazy after all! OMG!

For me, my legs are more likely to itch when I wear shorts, so I wear pants when I work out. I know its not the best solution, but it's something. I am open to other tips if anyone has them.
