New to the forum and needs some advice

March 9, 2011

Hello,

My name is & I'm new to this forum.

I've have Hypothyroid due to partial thyroidecomy and confirmed Hashimotos with

TPO for 578

I'm on 5.5 grain of nature desscciated thyroid which I buy from Receuptura in

Germany.

I have severe Adrenal fatigue and take hydrocoristol 10mg in the morning, 5mg

afternoon & 5mg at night.

I had a Urine iodine pre & Post loading test which confirmed a test results of:

Pre iodine 0.17ug/mg cr

Post 44ug/mg cr - 39mg/24 hr

My question is how much iodine should I take per day. I've been taking x 2

12.5mg tab or iodoral per day for about 3 months. One in the morning & one in

the evening along with lots of other supplements. Is this the right amount?

My temperature seems to have improved to 36.6 most days instead of 35.8 before

taking the iodine. But not sure I have benefited because of the adrenal fatigue,

as I am still very unwell.

I was wondering if it was possible to speak to someone who has experience with

taking iodine and was able to talk to them over the phone. I feel so unwell and

rather than try to speak over the forum, would benifit so much more if I could

speak about this issue over the phone.

I could tell you my full medical history but that would be too long & boring.

However, I have been very sick for over 20yrs & was only diagnosed with

hypothyroid & adrenal fatigue in 2007. I spent over a million pound Yes a

million pound trying to get well and if it wasnt for Dr. Skinner & Dr. Peatfield

I would not be here today. My TSH was always in normal range, well 4.69 so my GP

never believed I had a thyroid problem. Eventhough I had my left thyroid removed

25 years ago.

Thanks so much for listening to me & I hope you are able to answer my question

on iodine.

Kind Regards,
