Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hello, I would first like to say that exercise is great for arthritis and depression. I suffered for five years. Over the past 8 months I've been exercising and can ow do an hour of cardio without pain. If I skip more than 1 day of exercise, I definitely notice my mood changes and pain increases. The weird thing is that over the past month, I've started itching whenever I exercise. I feel like I'm allergic to my sweat! It's very annoying, mostly upper body, my arms and neck. After I stop, the itching goes away pretty soon. I drink a lot of water, so I don't think it is dehydration. Perhaps I am eliminating toxins through my skin, but then why didn't I have this discomfort when I started? I haven't made any changes to my diet over the past month. It's strange. I definitely don't want to quit my exercise program since it helps with both the arthritis and keeps me from being depressed. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 You don't mention whether you take any supplements. The first thing that came to mind when I read your post was you may need magnesium. Magnesium deficiency could contribute to the arthritis and the depression. If you are low in minerals anyway, exercise could exacerbate that deficiency. I recently read that itching skin could mean one needs magnesium.
