O + Blood Type Donor Wanted
So I would like to take a few and introduce my youngest son Greg. He’s currently on the transplant list at the University of Iowa for a kidney transplant and has been receiving dialysis treatment since August 2022. After pursuing a career in law enforcement since high school, Greg was working as a Cedar County Corrections Officer when his health declined. Outside of his professional pursuits, Greg values time with his best friend Bleau and family in Florida. In the spirit of moving forward, Greg is not only searching for a kidney donor but also taking applications for a Wife. Any assistance in circulating his story would greatly aid in finding a donor and facilitating Greg’s recovery process. Appreciation is extended to those offering hopes and prayers.

One of my most common asked questions.. Why do I itch when I do the Vibration Plate or Walk. Great article.

🌿 WHY DO I ITCH LIKE CRAZY ON THE VIBRATION PLATE?

Good Morning Beautiful Lymphies 🩷✨

You step onto the vibration plate…

And within seconds…

⚡ Your thighs start itching
⚡ Your calves feel prickly
⚡ Your legs burn
⚡ You want to scratch like CRAZY

And you think:

“Is this an allergy?”
“Is something wrong with my blood?”
“Why does this only happen to me?”

Let’s break this down properly — scientifically and gently.

🩸 1️⃣ Sudden Blood Flow Surge

A vibration plate causes:

• Rapid muscle contractions
• Increased circulation
• Capillary dilation
• Mechanical stimulation of tissue

If an area hasn’t had strong circulation for a while, that sudden rush of oxygenated blood activates nerve endings.

That prickly itch?

It’s often microcirculation waking up.

It’s similar to when frozen hands warm up too quickly — the sensation is intense.

🌿 2️⃣ Lymphatic Mobilisation

Vibration stimulates:

• The muscle pump
• Interstitial fluid movement
• Fascial glide
• Lymphatic flow

If lymph has been stagnant, that movement can trigger:

• Temporary histamine release
• Nerve sensitivity
• Mild inflammatory signalling

Histamine = itch sensation.

This does NOT automatically mean allergy.
It often means mobilisation.

🧠 3️⃣ The Fascia Connection (This Is Important)

Fascia is full of mechanoreceptors — tiny sensory nerves that detect movement and pressure.

If fascia is:

• Tight
• Dehydrated
• Restricted
• Sedentary

When vibration stimulates it, those receptors can fire strongly.

Sometimes the itch isn’t the skin.

It’s the fascia waking up.

Flow can feel intense before it feels normal.

❄️ 4️⃣ Why It’s Worse in Winter

In colder months:

• Blood vessels constrict
• Circulation slows
• Skin is drier
• Fascia tightens

When you suddenly stimulate circulation in cold tissue, the contrast is stronger.

More contrast = more nerve activation = more itching.

This is common.

It is not dangerous.

🌸 5️⃣ Hormones & Histamine (Especially For Women)

Estrogen influences:

• Capillary stability
• Fluid retention
• Mast cell activity
• Histamine release

If you are:

• Perimenopausal
• PMS’ing
• Estrogen dominant
• Under high stress

Your histamine response may already be heightened.

Vibration can amplify that temporarily.

This is why some women itch more at certain times of their cycle.

🔥 6️⃣ Sluggish Baseline Circulation

Women who:

• Sit for long hours
• Have cold feet
• Experience heavy legs
• Have mild insulin resistance
• Are under chronic stress

Often itch more.

Why?

Because their baseline circulation is slower.

The vibration plate is exposing that.

When circulation improves over time, the itch usually decreases.

🧪 A Simple Test

If:

• The itch peaks
• Fades within 5–15 minutes
• Reduces after 1–2 weeks of consistent use

That usually means improved circulation and tissue adaptation.

Many Lymphies report the itch almost disappears after consistent use.

That’s progress.

🚨 When To Be Cautious

Seek medical advice if you experience:

• Hives
• Spreading rash
• Severe dizziness
• Persistent itching long after stopping
• Known severe mast cell disorders

That is different from normal stimulation itch.

🌿 How To Reduce The Itch

Try this:

🫁 5 minutes deep breathing before stepping on
🚶‍♀️ Gentle walking warm-up first
💧 Hydrate well beforehand
🥗 Reduce high-histamine foods on heavy vibration days
🧴 Moisturise dry skin
⏱ Start with shorter intervals

Consistency is more powerful than intensity.

✨ The Bigger Truth

Sometimes the itch is not your enemy.

It’s your circulation waking up.

Your lymph moving.

Your fascia responding.

Your nervous system adapting.

Your body saying:

“Oh… we’re flowing again.”

And flow can feel unfamiliar before it feels comfortable.

🌿 Gentle Reminder

Healing is not always silent.

Sometimes it tingles.
Sometimes it prickles.
Sometimes it feels strange before it feels strong.

Your body is incredibly intelligent.

And when we understand it, we stop fearing it.

How do you support your Lymph.

Happy Lymphie Valentine’s Day 💚❤️

Today isn’t just about roses, chocolates, or someone else choosing you…
It’s about you choosing yourself first. 🌹✨

Love doesn’t begin in someone else’s hands.
It begins in your own heart.

It begins when you:
💗 Speak kindly to yourself
💗 Rest without guilt
💗 Nourish your body instead of punishing it
💗 Forgive yourself for past versions of you
💗 Stop apologising for taking up space

The most powerful healing begins the moment you decide:
“I am worthy of care too.”

Your lymph flows better when you breathe deeply.
Your body softens when you feel safe.
Your nervous system calms when you feel loved.

And the first place that love must come from… is within 🌿

Self-love is not selfish.
It is stewardship.
It is responsibility.
It is honouring the body that has carried you through every hard day, every heartbreak, every healing season.

Today, instead of asking:
“Who loves me?”

Ask:
“How am I loving myself?”

Are you:
❤️ Drinking enough water?
❤️ Moving gently?
❤️ Speaking life over your body?
❤️ Allowing yourself to slow down?

Your body is not your enemy.
It has been protecting you all along.

This Valentine’s Day, wrap your own heart in compassion.
Be softer with yourself.
Be kinder with your thoughts.
Be patient with your healing.

Because when you love yourself well,
you teach the world how to love you too 💕

Happy Lymphie Valentine’s Day 🌿💚
May your heart be light.
May your flow be free.
May your love begin within ✨
