Night Sweats & Depression

[Guest guest]

For MANY months I have woken up in the middle of the

night with my clothing and sheets wet from sweat. At times I could feel

the sweat pouring out of me. I am 62 and long past menopause.

I have been on Iodoral for about 6 months. The last 2-3 months at 200

mg per day. I have also been using LDN for about a year being at 4.5 mg

per day for the last 6 months.

I also take many vitamins and minerals. I continue to take them: at

least a dozen a day.

The night sweats are also accompanied by my waking up with a horrible

sense of doom (my finances are awful right now and are of great

concern) and depression. I have also lost my appetite. (not all bad, I

needed to lose weight anyway.)

I got very involved in a project last week and the time passed so

quickly I forgot my LDN (I usually take it 1-2 PM in the afternoon) I

switched to the afternoon dose about 2 months ago. I seemed to have no

afternoon "low" by taking it at this time, but I crashed early (going

to bed by 8-9 PM)

I wondered if the Iodoral at 200 mg was now too much. No side effects,

no herx reactions anymore (and I cut back on my sea salt.) So I cut it

in half 2 days ago, about the time I decided not to take the LDN.

WOW! No more night sweats and I sleep like a baby. I also can stay up

late and sleep hard and long. I no longer suffer from the fear and

depression I had two days ago (and for the last year!!!)

I cannot afford any testing. I rely on reading posts to this group and

experiment. Any input? Ideas? Suggestions? Is it the LDN or the

Iodine? Or BOTH?
