This is because my TSH was always normal. I finally got antibodies and have been diagnosed by that, multi-nodular goiter and signs and symptoms. My original diagnosis was CFS.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I got on the Iodoral from Lynn's research and suggestion to check it out, and I noticed a difference right away. (Was I supposed to? I don't know...) Apparently there are other forms that are less expensive than the Iodoral though....it's just the first one I got my hands on. ~Inga > Multi-nodular goiter, inability to tolerate thyroid hormone even > though > hypo, and normal TSH despite being very hypoT are classic signs of > iodine > insufficiency.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I have done three things lately that have made a big difference: I started using the Iodoral., got on GammaGrow and reduced my Armour, adding in instead, straight T3, via Cytomel. I am feeling much better, and feel like I am going to have a life again...hopefiully some day soon....I feel it coming. ~Inga > I got on the Iodoral from Lynn's research and suggestion to check it > out, and I noticed a difference right away.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Lynn, This iodine deficiency makes lots of sense. My only concern now is that I've been told when you have the autoimmunity on the thyroid (which I do) per elevated TPO's, that iodine can make the situation much worse...what to do?

Shortly after that, he started researching iodine/iodide in earnest. He has now reversed his position 180 degrees and feels Hashi's can be due to iodine deficiency. I believe the issue of iodine and autoimmune thyroid disease is addressed at iodine4health.com, and if not there, at the iodine yahoo group or in the files of that group, and in Dr. Brownstein's book about iodine.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Sounds like you need iodine. Thyroid hormones (whether made by thyroid or taken via supplementation) can't work unless you have high enough levels of iodine in body.
