this might work for you but the " loading dose of Iodoral is 50mg (4 caps)

for 3 months. http://www.optimox.com This is what I am doing. But I cannot

decrease Armour.

told me to follow the Iodoral instructions...so I will up it to 4. I

thought it was between 2 to 4.You are right. Thanks. I started it

about 1.5 weeks ago.

--- Gracia. My doctors idea is that the thyroid gland might

restart...it happened to him, so after a blood test, we will see if

the thyroid is restarted. If not, I will keep my Armour. I will

keep you posted.

Hello, Masiste (or Val?),(I think I am responding to Masiste's comment

about Iodoral Iodine, but am unsure because the actual email was not

signed.)

Your comment re. Iodoral Iodine is very interesting and it may be just

the thing for you. I will share only my experience with it which may

or may not be relevant for you. I have hypothyroidism without

autoimmune involvement. In January of this year (2006), my TSH was

6.29. In that same month, my health care practitioner recommended

that I begin Iodoral Iodine loading (50mg: 12.5mg 4x/day). By March,

my TSH had jumped to 11.7 and on May 2nd, it was 21.2. Since this was

the only real change we'd made, it finally became clear that I was one

of the ones (since then, we've learned that this is true for some with

hypothyroidism, a bit more frequently it seems with Hashimoto's

(autoimmune involved) hypothryoidism. Well, you can bet that I am off

iodine supplementation for a while! It became obvious that even before

the Iodoral Iodine loading fiasco, a much smaller amount of iodine

supplementation had been too much.

I mention this, not because Iodoral Iodine supplmentation (or iodine

supplementation in itself) is necessarily problematic, but just

sharing that it is important for some of us to be very alert to the

results of taking extra iodine and to be aware, also, that many who

are hyping the Iodoral Iodine loading program rarely mention that it

can be a problem for some people. Let the patient be ware. I feel

lucky we caught the problem as soon as we did, but this was possible

only because I am currently having my TSH, etc. checked every other

month and watching for patterns. I hate to think what might have

happened if I had gone on merrily taking the iodine for many months or

even longer.

This is my first posting on Hypothyrodism. I'm looking forward

to learning and sharing with you guys.

Best regards,

Nonnawk

Hi,

Did you have any symptoms of Iodine excess or just the TSH?
