Re: New to the group - questions!

[Guest guest]

Hi ,I too have Fibro, and was on Iodoral from Sept 2011 to Dec 2011.

Worked up gradually to 37.5mg. I ran out and won't have more til Feb but have

had a huge migraine for almost 2 weeks. Not sure if that may be withdrawal, or

my fibro as I get headaches a lot. Your question about low low back pain

interested me as I have never experienced anything like it until about a month

after I started Iodoral. My tail bone area almost feels bruised and hurts when I

sit on it or apply pressure like when I lay down. I am only 44 and used to be in

great shape before my Fibro diagnosis about 5 years ago. I wanted the Iodoral to

help kick my thyroid into gear although my tests were all normal. I would like

to lose about 15 lbs that I gained since the diagnosis. I didn't get to work up

high enough on Iodoral for me to get my energy back yet, so I will gradually

increase it the next round until I feel better. How many mg does the Lugol's

translate into from the drops you're taking? I'm curious to know how high you

have gotten. Thanks!

Lugol's 2%. I started with just two drops on my wrist and i noticed a

difference the next day. I felt strong, I didn't ache like usually and I was so

awake and alive! I then upped my skin dose until i felt comfy with drinking.

years but just recently added selenium. I take Vitamin C, E, a B-Complex,

omegas, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc.

Hi ,

First of all, welcome to the group! Glad you are here.

I have found that using Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) along with the Iodine Protocol has saved my life. I am still struggling with issues like adrenal fatigue, but I have so much more hope. You are at least finding out what is wrong at a young age and getting to address it with healthy alternatives. I struggled for over 50 years before I found these two helpers!

If you want more info on LDN, let me know. I have 40-60% less pain with the LDN. I have just passed being on it for 2 years and wouldn't live without it.

I am also working on learning how to meditate. I am reading "Full Catastrophe Living" by Cabat Zinn. Awesome book. I have read another edition before and reading this new one, 15th I think. Were it not for the LDN and the Iodine Protocol, I would not be able to tackle doing the meditation. Some days I have NO pain. Best wishes!

Glowing,grace~
