Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ellen, Did your extreme symptoms start or get worse when you started the lugol's? I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's (also with bad hyper symptoms), which came on strong after using iodine. Some Hashi's people don't do well on iodine though it seems like most do. So if your problems started when you stared the iodine, that may be a sign for you to stop. You can always stop for a few days to see if it makes a difference. It took about 3 days for me to notice a change. I don't have any info on iodine being used to help a thyroid storm but I would be reluctant to try that on my own. Lugol's is the same as Iodoral, but in liquid form. Just check the bottle to find out how concentrated it is. Iodoral has 12.5mg iodine per pill.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have read in Brownstein's book that sometimes when using lugol's etc. that this can happen and you need to lower armour. I had these hyper symtoms before the lugo's. I am pretty sure this is not a dump. It feels quite different than that. Since on the lugol's I have had to lower my amour. I just do not know whether to keep going on the lugol's or not. My doctor did say it was a storm but I do not seeem to be coming out of it. I also read in Brownstein that some have to alternate taking idodine every other day. I wish I could find a doctor in Nashville that could help with all this. I seem to have tried everything to stop the (what I thought was hper and my doctor says is thyroid storm) symtoms. The diahhrea and chest pains and insomnia are the worst. I actually am starting to look like I am hyper. My doc says that what is happening to me is rare and is not grave's disease. I have read that you can have hashi's and graves at the same time but he says no. There is so much conflicting info that I stay confused Thanks ME > > > sounds to me as if your body is begging for more iodine.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ellen, As soon as I got the diagnosis I started myself on Cortef 5mg/4x a day. I felt much better immediately as I think many hyper symptoms are really low adrenal symptoms - the adrenals struggle to keep up with all that thyroid energy. My doc did not prescribe it but I had some left over. I felt it was absolutely the right thing to do after reading " Safe Uses of Cortisol " by Jefferies. My doctor prescribed alpha lipoic acid (300mg 2x/day) and 30 drops of bugleweed 2x/day. I decided on 100mg alpha lipoic acid 2x/day and 5mg lithium aspertate. I did add 30 drops of bugleweed 1x/day, but found it was too much (hypo symptoms) and stopped it. Of course, I was not having a thyroid storm as you are. Bugleweed seemed really powerful in reducing hyper symptoms. Also, I stopped the iodine as it was clear it was aggravating the problem. Hope that helps, Sharon > Not really...I have had these symtoms for a while. What are you doing > for you hyper symtoms and hashi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 > > How can I get rid of the > chest pains. Maybe you need a new doctor. Does your chest hurt because your heart rate is so high? If so, you should be on Inderal or other beta blocker. Thyroid storm is a life threatening emergency. Here's info on using Lugol's Solution for thyroid storm - http://www.emedmag.com/html/pre/cov/covers/031506.asp Iodine immediately inhibits both new hormone synthesis (by blocking organification, known as the Wolf-Chaikoff effect) and the release of thyroid hormone. It also decreases gland size and vascularity. This effect is transient, however, lasting approximately one to three weeks. One to five drops of a supersaturated solution of potassium iodine or Lugol's solution can be given three to four times a day. Iodine usually is given 7 to 14 days prior to surgery. In thyroid storm, sodium iodine may be given intravenously at 0.5 to 1 gm every 8 to 12 hours. It is important to give the iodine at least one hour after administration of a thionamide to prevent possible worsening of hyperthyroidism. ************************** http://www.thyroidmanager.org/chapter11/11_iodine.htm When iodine is to be used therapeutically in Graves' disease, one usually prescribes a saturated solution of potassium iodide (which contains about 50 mg iodide per drop) or Lugol's solution (which contains about 8.3 mg iodide per drop). and co- workers161 found that 6 mg of I- or KI produces a maximum response. This fact was reemphasized by Friend, who pointed out that the habit of prescribing the 5 drops of Lugol's or SSKI three times daily is unnecessary.162 Two drops of Lugol's solution or 1 drop of a saturated solution of potassium iodide two times daily is more than sufficient. The therapeutic response to iodide begins within two to seven days and is faster than can be obtained by any other methods of medical treatment. Only 3% of patients so treated fail to respond. Men, older persons, and those with nodular goiter are in the group less likely to have a response to iodide. Although almost all patients initially respond to iodide, about one-third respond partially and remain toxic, and another one-third initially respond but relapse after about six weeks.165 The use of iodide as definitive therapy for thyrotoxicosis has been discarded in favor of the modalities previously described. ********************************************* If your heart rate is high, are you on Inderall or other beta blocker to slow it down? If your heart rate isn't high, what exactly are the thyroid storm symptoms? I'm not sure what strange doctor would have you on even a grain of Armour while in thyroid storm, either. I mean you're overproducing thyroid hormone, and he's not stopping the ARmour completely? Also, did the thyroid storm start after you started Lugol's Solution? Not everyone reacts well to it, you know. It can cause hyperthryoridism. As for dehydration, you say you have weak adrenals but are taking Prednisone (medrol) instead of Cortef (hydrocortisone.) Prednisone isn't the same as Cortef, doesn't have the salt retaining properties that helps stop dehydration. Another thing that can stop thyroid storm is more Prednisone. At high doses, it inhibits T4 to T3 conversion and will stop it. I am not sure whether lugol's is helping or not. I have > read contraindications of lugol's in a thyroid storm.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I doubt this, having been hyperthyroid and having thyroid storm. Now that I take iodine I think it would have been just what I needed when I was so sick, instead of partial thyroidectomy. I also think adrenals are involved in hyper. These are wonderful healing therapies, not to be feared. Gracia High iodine can fuel OR arrest hyperthyroid or thyroid storm,or both in sequence.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Thank you! The ER doc was insisting that this is what caused the heart attack and the other 4 docs were arguing with him. But they made sure that I was off of my thyroid meds for a long time afterwards and then they put me back on half of the original dose. I think they were trying to avoid a malpractice suit.....400MCG of Synthroid/Levothyroxine is way too much. I didn't know that until much later.

The manufacturer's dosing guidelines say the maximum full replace dose is 200 mcg. Even though they make a 300 mcg tablet, the dosing guidelines say it is very unlikely that anyone would ever need to exceed 200. You would need to be extremely large to justify 300, let alone 400 mcg. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
