What do you think? I have always thought something was up with my thyroid but maybe not as much as I thought?? Not to sure where to go from here, should it last for the absolute 24hrs?. Just wondering if I should do it just before I go to sleep so I can see exactly how many hours its there for. It was there for at least 10hrs or more.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi Sue, Can you put it on first thing in the morning and see if it goes away by bedtime? If it does, then you won't have to worry about nightsweats making it disappear. On the other hand, if it is not gone when you go to bed, but gone when you get up, then it could mean either two things: Either it was going to disappear before the 24 hour period was up, or your sweating washed it out. Then you could try to paint just before bed and see if it is there when you wake up. I am not sure if sweat plays a role or not, but if you try it either of these ways, you should be able to get some benefit from it and be able to tell if you are deficient in iodine. If it lasts all day and on into the night, then I would not be too concerned, and you could use kelp and other thyroid supportive substances rather than the iodine.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Patty, I got a rash from the iodine. The spot I painted that used to be a light yellow, this morning is pink with what looks like broken blood vessels under the skin. Do you have any idea what this is? Could this be a reaction to any toxins from the plastic bottle the iodine came in?
