------> That's helped me over the past few days. My face was breaking

out last week so I dropped the iodine down to 3 tabs from 4 over the

weekend. Then left my dose off totally yesterday. Face is all cleared up.

I'll keep it at 3 tabs (want to be at 4 right now) for this week and

see how that goes then try going up to 3 1/2.

Seems like you have to kinda pump the iodine in for some of us. I

think someone's previous post on zits and going hyper could be part of

it. I found last week at the height of the breakouts I was also a bit

wound up especially trying to sleep. I'm usually a great sleeper.

Flechas told me that enlarged thyroids can start pumping out more

thyroid as they recover....think that's most likely what's happening

to me.
