Zoe: Re: Thyroid Hormone and Iodine/Breast Issues - Dr. Flechas

[Guest guest]

, I do not have Hashi. I took 50 mg Iodoral for 4+ months, then (because my iodine loading test was still low) 100 mg for one month.

For the past 9 months, I have been experimenting with different doses (from 0 to 25 mg) to see if I could tell a difference. So far, I have not been able to see a difference.

Brownstein reports that about 1/3 of the hypoT patients he starts on Iodoral are able to stop their thyroid meds -- usually those who have just started the meds and are on low doses.

I, too, was hoping that the iodine would help me stop or lower my Armour, but that is not what happened.

Interesting. I went from 2 to 3.75grain and I do have Hashi. I've

been on Iodoral for 3 years and Natural Thyroid for 7 years and

with the exception that it shrunk my goiter, I don't feel any

different when I take and when I don't take it. I often wonder if it

did make my condition worse. Too hard to tell.
