Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I started taking iodine several months ago, up to 10 drops daily of 2% Lugol's. Very soon after that, I started to have morning stiffness in my hands/fingers. (I am 39 with no health problems). I stopped taking iodine about a month ago just because I was too busy to remember to take care of myself. Since then, the finger stiffness has remained and recently gotten much worse...like arthritis worse. It's my dominant hand, worse in two fingers. This was a clear, sudden increase in stiffness and pain. I restarted the iodine today. I also take the companion supplements of magnesium, selenium, and Juice Plus to cover the rest of the vitamins/minerals. Can iodine supplementation trigger problems like this in someone who is very deficient? I assume I am very deficient just based on diet. thanks!
