Symptoms slowly improving

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to share with everyone that I do feel Iodoral is helping me - though symptom relief has been slow, I'm encouraged. I have been on it for almost 10 months and I've almost reached sufficiency now  (last test showed 82% excretion), but my bromide results are a bit high (post provocation showed 30mg and 'normal' is <12). One thing that is definitely better from taking Iodoral (though it took awhile to see a diffence) is constipation. It is so much better  that I had to decrease my dosage for a few days from 50mg/day to 37.5mg/day. However I noticed during this time that my breathing difficulty (one of my most troublesome symptoms) was worse. Today when I went back up to 50mg, it is slightly better again! I think I will decrease my magnesium and Vit C instead to keep bowels from being too loose. My breathing is still not normal and still gives me discomfort, but I can tell a difference with the iodoral - which tells me it is being affected - which is fabulous because this has been one of the mysterious symptoms I've struggled with for 4 years now. Though I think it is a hypothyroid symptom, when I was on Armour, it didn't help it nearly as much as the Iodoral is. Isn't that interesting? I'm praying the Iodoral and supporting nutrients will eventually help my fatigue and weakness too!!Hope this is useful,Marlena
