Re: Re: Can your thyroid become inflammed when you start iodine supplementation?

[Guest guest]

You may be able to just cut back on your dose until the bulk of the toxins

are pushed out and then it will probably settle down.

Thanks for the welcome home. I am so far behind! I did 6 loads of laundry

and now I have 6 packages of items to ship for eBay that sold while I was

gone. UGH!

I am wondering how much HC you take and when you take it? 5mg 4X a day, last dose at bedtime? you might need more Armour too.

My low cortisol symptoms are returning now too. I woke up several times last night in a panic, heart racing, this symptom was long gone once I began isocort and then eventually hydrocortisone. I am thinking it is the iodine stressing my adrenals. Do I cut back on iodine then? I guess I am not tolerating it well. Is this a Hashi's issue or too much bromide/fluoride leaving my body? Just curious.I still believe I need iodine. The hard part is I was feeling optimized on armour/adrenal treatment and then I started iodine. Hard to go backwards in how you feel. Once you have good days you don't tolerate the bad much. You know what it is like to feel better.Okay time for more sea salt! I may take a few days break from iodine. Then start back slower. Sound right? Eventually I should be able to to 50 mg daily without ill effect, right?---

How much are you taking ? I had stressed adrenals when I started on

100 mgs of Iodoral after being on 50 of over a year. I just did 4 days on

and 3 days off for a few weeks and then worked up a day until I tolerated it

for 7 days. Detoxing does stress your adrenals as well as your liver and

kidneys. I took Metagenice Renegan and Metagenics Ultra Clear Plus pH for a

while while doing my worst detoxing to support liver and kidney.

I love cortef, it helps me so much. I always take it 5mg 4X a day, it's a good thing for sure. I also take 100mg Iodoral and 4 grains Armour.

I take 15-20 mg HC a day. I do 5 mg 3-4 x day. I think I need to be sure and get the night dose. The days I take 15 mg I don't take any at night. I have been trying to add 1/2 grain more of Armour too- I take 3 grains currently. I thought I could try that as well. I will get labs done again soon. I think my frees could be a bit higher in the range. I usually can judge that by aches and pains returning. I should look into those supplements. I do think I am detoxing and adrenals are shot. I just hate to take more HC, one day I hope to wean from it. I will go slower with iodine. Maybe I need to do the 4 days on, 3 days off. I am taking 50 mg Iodoral. I think I will pulse dose and see how it does. I need to take a few days off right now. Got to get adrenals back on track and thyroid swelling down. I can see how it is a process.thanks!!---
