Guest guest Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi, I have a strange reaction to iodine and I was wondering if anybody had any ideas as to what is causing it. If I have any iodine supplements during the day (as little as 120 mcg can do it) or have fish for dinner I wake up about 3 or 4 am and cannot sleep for at least an hour. I first noticed it about 6 months ago when I was taking a thyroid supplement containing 120 mcg iodine – I didn't sleep properly for 6 weeks… Since then I started paying attention to it and it is 100% consistent. If I don't have any iodine/fish I sleep very well. I haven't noticed any other symptoms. My health history (chronologically): - Grave's hyperthyroidism – 7 years in two bouts - Collapsed lung treated with pleurodesis, due to which I had a ct-scan and dozens of chest x-rays - Hashimoto's hypothyroidism – last 4.5 years – I take whole thyroid (equivalent to Armour) I supplement with magnesium, selenium, fish oil, vitamins B, C, D and E and I eat liver regularly for vitamin A. I would really appreciate any input! :-) Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
