Re: Night Sweats & Depression - Me too! (Lori)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Me too!!! Heat, night sweats, etc!

I am having night sweats and daily heat in my body and I was assuming that it

was menopause onset. I've had these symptoms before but they went away, so I am

now curious if this is from the iodine detoxing stuff out of my body or a liver

response. I am on 100 mg. I also have foamy urine. Not sure but I would now

be curious to know what would happen if I cut the iodine back. I need to get

tested I suppose. Not sure. Very interesting your post. Thanks, Lori
