recent swelling in my neck

[Guest guest]

Hello.

I have been taking Iodoral( 12.5mg -1 pill) with the

companion nutrients for more than a year. I recently upped my intake to 1 and a

half pills and now up to 2 = 25 mg. I also recently added the salt loading,

which I wasn't doing before, but decided to try because on the higher dose I

was having headaches and leg pains. By salt loading I mean I am taking a ½ tsp

of Celtic sea salt in the morning when I take my pills and drinking water. I

have been doing this less than a week. Tonight I noticed swelling in my skin in

my neck over the thyroid. I have never had this before and I asked my Sister to

look and she said yes, it is swollen and mostly so on my right side. My

question is, is this possibly a detox symptom or should I lower my dose immediately

or stop with the salt or any and all combinations. Could this be something that

happens if I am not sure to get extra water?

The only other change this last week has been that I am

trying my darndest to give up sugar and grains. Oh, come to think of it, I also

mixed lugols with coconut oil and have been smearing that on my skin here and

there almost every night, this is also something new in the last 2 weeks. ( I

guess I made a lot of changes in the last few weeks.!)

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
