  1. Just been running for the first time in months (oh alright I admit
    it....years) and wondered if anyone had a solution for runners itchy leg
    syndrome. I've read conflicting things about it on the internet - its
    apparently either a histamine mediated response, or due to unconditioned
    capillaries. If anyone can tell me why I itch so much when I run I might
    just venture out again.

    Cheers

  2. Wipe your [censored] more thoroughly...........you're suffering from
    gravitational fecal migration.

    Have you started a new medication recently? When taking different
    antidepressants I've experienced itchy legs, arms, and chest while
    running.

    I think your faeces has gravitationally migrated and started coming out of
    your mouth in the form of words

    Histamine is your body's allergy response (hence antihistimines to
    control allergies). More accurately, it mediates your body's response
    to intruders, allergies being that your body goes overboard in responding.
    So think a bit about whether you've been exposing yourself, especially
    legs, to new substances.

    More likely, at a guess, is that not unusual capillary response.

    Of course your doctor can speak more specifically, and has the more
    extensive general knowlege than a tour of the web (or newsgroup), and
    get see and inspect the body in question.
