Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I recently attendended a discussion on Iodoral and decided to give it a try. I have fibromyalgia and have been doing really well on another protocol as well. I also have had mild hypothyroidism and it is the autoimmune form, hashimoto's. I am not currently on thyroid medication. My TSH levels were above normal, but only mildly high right before starting the Iodoral. Two months after the Iodoral my endocrinologist ran some more thyroid tests and now my TSH levels have gone even higher, almost double what they were before. I don't think my TSH scores have ever been this high. As many of you know a high TSH (thyroid stimulting hormone) test means that my thyroid is functioning less than before. I was taking 4 pills of Iodoral a day, about 50 mg. I am concerned since I have the Hashimoto's that my hypothyroidism may have gotten worse. Even if the Iodoral itself didn't cause it to get worse, it seems that it didn't help it to improve. My endocrinologist was not in favor of me taking the Iodoral, but was willing to monitor me if I chose to go on it. She thought it could possibly cause my hypothyroidism to get worse, or possibly even cause me to go into the hyperthyroid range. How long does it usually take for one to see improvement? Is it normal for the thyroid to get worse before it gets better? I have discontinued it as of today until I can figure this out. Any sugestions? Thank you, D.
