YES!! I work outdoors and am taking doxycycline 100mg tablets and have severe tingling in my hands and burning (not like sun burn). Gonna call Dr in the morning!
I have been on Doxy for 5 days and am having the exact same reaction to hand washing. I was in the sun for several hours today
Did this ever go away for her? I took it by mouth for 3 months almost one year ago. Yesterday I was in the sun for an hour and the tingling returned to my arms and hands but not as severe as while I was on it, of course. I'm worried that I've banned myself for a lifetime from the sun.
Hi, have your symptoms gone away? I have the same thing. I hope you're feeling better now, this is crazy--even the cold air hurts.
Thank you for sharing! After being on doxycycline for 8 days I helped a friend stain a deck and was exposed to sun approximately 4 hours knowing one of the side effects is sensitivity to the sun. I did apply sun screen but it didn’t stop the effects of the sun. I did get sunburned where I was mostly exposed Strangely I began experiencing tingling of my hands and that has gone on 3 days now. I’m now finished with the medication and I’m hoping the tingling will soon end.
Yes me. Today. Its extremely weird like hot and cold and tingling
I am taking doxycycline and have pins & needles in my hands. I also got burnt in the sun.
Yes! I also was taking doxycycline and on the 5th day developed tingling in both hands and feet. They are also sensitive to cold and heat as if handling something cold or sun hitting my skin causing my skin to hurt and burn. I discontinued the pills and hope this goes away. It is the weekend so I haven't called my doctor.
I’m having the same exact thing happen to me right now.
I saw your post although its a year old, I thought I would reply. Yes the same thing has happened to me.
Its causing vasospasm in both hand and feet when exposed to cold or hot. I finished the 7 day prescription. It's 3 days still having symptoms.

I had the exact same feeling while taking this medication.
I'm on day 21 of doxy and this past sunday i was at the beach under an umbrella most of the day. However i have 3 kids so i was in the sun a tiny bit. Well late afternoon when we were driving home, i felt like my hands were on fire and i was putting in front of the AC vents. Then trying to lift my son out of the truck, it felt like his skin was burning mine. Touching water, even luke warm was so hot to me. THat night i was in so much pain that i couldn't fall asleep until 4am and i had ice packs on my hands all night (would rotate to feet, my 1 arm and sometimes above the knee). It got better a day or 2 where it is contained to just my hands. I didn't get sunburned at all. But my hands are red in areas and very sensitive. They are now starting to itch a little bit.
I have on doxy for lymes. I really don't want to stop doxy because my lymes symptoms were so bad so i might just try to tough out the next 9 days. However this thread has me afraid to do. Weird thing is i didn't have 1 side effect until this past sunday which was 2 weeks on it.
anyone that had the burning hands symptom... how long until that went away after stopping doxy?
i have 3 kids and am only 37. My husband is a cop and on rotating shifts. I just don't have time for this sort of thing. :(

Though I have only had mild symptoms of this, I have found that from a previous time that yes it should go away. I was just doing the research now and found that this is going on again as this is the second time I have had this happen with doxycycline. Just today in fact. Try not to be in a lot of sun if possible. I have mild sunburn and mild tingling hands too. This happened the last time too. Glad I know now.
Did it ever go away?
This is exactly what’s going on with me, it started with two itchy pointer fingers. The next day it’s spread to the tops of my hands. The weirdest feeling!
I’ve been out in the sun and my arms and legs were butning more than average, even with sunblock.
