Too much Doxy??

A Herximer reaction is common when on a treatment program with antibiotics for lymes. Some doctors use the herximer reaction over blood tests to accurately diagnose lymes. I have found taking activated charcoal a few hours "After" the meds to help with the die off if it gets too bad. You don't want to take it too close to meds or vitamins or it will soak it ...

You could experience ANY of the hypothyroid symptoms....wow I could never imagine missing a whole weeks worth of medicine.

Even though you are within normal range, that isn't a normal range for someone with hypothyroidism...make sense? lol Most feel better around the 1.0 range. IF you have Hashimotos then it has to be kept between the .50-1.0 range.....BUT....when properly dosed on Armour it is a different ball game. Your TSH will look like you are hyper, Free T3 should be high ...

Sure can, especially if you have Hashimotos. What were your most recent lab results? Did you have the antibody tests done? How about your free t3 and free t4 tests? All have to be done in order to get a full look at what is going on. Hope you feel better! :)
