Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hi, I live in the UK and would like some help regarding taking an iodine supplement if you would be so kind as I have been to doctors over here and can't seem to get much help as they have done a broad spectrum blood test and because I'm within their 'range' they are unwilling to do anything, my daughter is hyperthyroid and has graves disease but I have symptoms of under active thyroid; Weight gain about 24lbs Inability to maintain a healthy weight Low energy - fatigue Ice-cold hands and feet Dry skin and thinning hair Brain fog Insomnia, poor sleep Tingling in hands and feet Muscle pain and aches Edema (swelling in ankles) I have been reading Dr Brownstein's articles on internet and see you need other supplements and tests too so am worried about just taking iodoral (which I have managed to locate in UK) without other supplements and vitamins and wouldn't know what dose to take, I am also taking 100mg topiramate sprinkle daily for epilepsy caused by benign brain tumour. Hope you may be able to enlighten me Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 The Guide to Supplementing details each companion nutrient and how much you take each day. You received that PDF when you joined this list. You can also find it on the list website. At the bottom of each email from the group is a link to " Visit Your Group " , then find " Files " on the menu on the lefthand side of the page. Then go to the first item on the resulting page called " New Members Read First " , then scan down the list to the 5th item, Guide to Supplementing... Both over and underactive thyroids need iodine. -- moderator On 10 Feb 2012 at 13:21, Donna wrote: > Hi, I live in the UK and would like some help regarding taking an > iodine supplement if you would be so kind as I have been to doctors > over here and can't seem to get much help as they have done a broad > spectrum blood test and because I'm within their 'range' they are > unwilling to do anything, my daughter is hyperthyroid and has graves > disease but I have symptoms of under active thyroid; Weight gain about > 24lbs Inability to maintain a healthy weight Low energy - fatigue > Ice-cold hands and feet Dry skin and thinning hair Brain fog Insomnia, > poor sleep Tingling in hands and feet Muscle pain and aches Edema > (swelling in ankles) I have been reading Dr Brownstein's articles on > internet and see you need other supplements and tests too so am > worried about just taking iodoral (which I have managed to locate in > UK) without other supplements and vitamins and wouldn't know what dose > to take, I am also taking 100mg topiramate sprinkle daily for epilepsy > caused by benign brain tumour.
