Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 1. First Name or ID Olif 2. Age (optional) 33 3. State or Region where you live IL- goiter belt 4. Why did you start using Iodine? hypothyroid symptoms, but later discovered Hashi's and multinodular goiter 5. What form of Iodine are you using? Lugol's 6. What dosage? 6.25 mg 7. Illnesses hoping to be made better through the use of iodine. hypothyroid, multinodular goiter, hashi's 8. Self treating or using a Dr to help manage? seeing a doctor who knows I am supplementing with iodine but not really helping me with that. (I did let her borrow Brownstein's book, and I hope she actually reads it!) 9. Any questions that you might have for members of the group? my loading test results showed 61%, how bad is this? I actually expected worse I really would like info on iodine supplementation with a multinodular goiter. Flechas warns that people should be checked for a nodular goiter, before supplementing, because it can make them hyperT. I became hyperT on 25 mg. I quit iodine, started Armour, then started iodine (at 6.25 mg), and became hyper again. I stopped the Armour last week, and I am feeling much better. So far, I think I am fine with 1 drop Lugol's. If my hypo symptoms come back, I will probably go to 2 drops, before trying Armour again. I am not sure why I go hyper with 25 mg iodine. Does it make the nodules release too much hormone?

Self treating or using a Dr to help manage? dtr 9. Any questions that you might have for members of the group? Wondering how people with hashi’s reacted to iodoral. I have hashi’s just diagnoised and now I understand why when I first tried iodoral and was doing 50 mgs that I had such a hard time with it. Was wondering how other did at 12.5 mgs or higher and if their hashi’s flared up. Also are you using something other then iodoral. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
