Edit: I’m fairly confident you guys are right and it’s from the beta alanine in my preworkout (from Women’s Best). I’ll try out actually drinking the whole thing before the workout and seeing if that feels better or I’ll just find one that doesn’t have BA in it. Thanks for the help!

My guess is it’s from the season change or from my preworkout, but has anyone else experienced this? Basically, while I’m working out I’ll get extremely warm all over my body, but especially in areas with tight clothes (like yoga pants, compression tops, and thongs).

Once im done with the workout, my skin starts tingling/itching and getting really tight, and then if I scratch it or massage a sore area, it’s like I’m setting the area on fire. Some areas just feel like that whether I touch it or not, likely forehead and ears.

I’ll test out not using my preworkout the next time I exercise but it’s something I’ve dealt with my entire life and I figured I should finally look for some answers. Searching up the problem was no help so I figured I’d start with this community since it’s my fav exercise community :)

This is extremely uncomfortable and decently painful and affects every single inch of my body and resting helps very little and showering only helps a tiny bit. I’ll take a cold shower today and see if that helps or not though.

I have been experimenting with tofu pancakes, made some adjustments and came up with these tofu waffles. They were so good. Will definitely be making them again.

Yields ~ 6 waffles (6" x 6")

620g extra firm tofu

186g rolled oats (blended to flour)

78g chickpea flour

286g soy milk

200g Pellegrino

30g maple syrup

14g baking powder

3g salt

Cinnamon

Blend all ingredients except pellegrino until it is a hummus like consistency.

Add in pellegrino and mix by hand. More may be needed to loosen batter to the right consistency. Aim for slightly thicker cake batter.
