I have this sensation on and off, it was at its worst when I was taking minocin. Sorry I can't explain it technically for you. It really is a strange sensation!

I am sure someone will be along with more info for you!

I know EXACTLY the feeling you are describing. Especially when you get your hands wet. Felt just like I had washed my hands with Ben Gay! I'm sure my husband thought I was nuts when I tried to explain it to him!

I too had that on 400 mg Doxy. I had alot of problems with sun poisoning and thought maybe that had something to do with it since my hands would break out so bad.

But then I noticed I would have it come on even when I wasn't in the sun. It got better the longer I was on the doxy. So maybe it was herx related. Now I'm down to 200 mg doxy/1,000 mg Biaxin per day and I don't get that strange feeling in my hands anymore.

I do know that the burning tingling will eventually go away with good treatment. Have your Thyroid checked as well.

I also have it, it started my third week of Doxy, howveer that was also my first week of Levaquin so I BLAMED it on the Levaquin and thought it was a reaction to the Levaquin.

I called my LLMD who said stop the Levaquin as it COULD indicate an intolerance and retry in 3 days. So, i restarted it and on teh 5/6 day this feeling started again so I then faxed my LLMD again and got a message from his assistant to keep taking it. So, now I'm confused, 2 different opinions from 2 different people. I am holding off on the Levaquin not until I see the LLMD next week now to be sure what to do.

I am still on doxy alone now, but that Bengay feeling is MUCH MUCH better after stopping the Levaquin.

I also had the BenGay feeling in my toes.
