I guess I'm a bit foggy....... I'm not sure what "reaction" you're looking for. If you're taking a 50 mcg pill and a 25 mcg pill, that's 75 mcg/day...... It takes 4-6 weeks for the medication to reach full potential in your body.  If you are feeling better, you're having a positive "reaction", right?

What's the reference range for the red blood cells?

I don't understand your question......

"can someone explain why im having no reaction to both of these pills im taking ???????"  Do you mean "why aren't you feeling better"?

I assume that the "thyroid level" you are referring to, at 2.4, is a TSH level?  Is that all the testing that's being done?  What about Free T3 and Free T4?
