Val said that taking even a tiny bit of iodine makes her hashi's antibodies

skyrocket. From her post:

> I am currently going down on cytomel, now at 55 mcg from 85, because my heart

rate was high. I am also going down on HC. I am now at 27 mg. I wanted to try

some iodine to see if I could get a little T4 back in my system again. I tried a

couple of drops of atomidine in water, and felt terrible all morning, extremely

tired, and very swollen facially.

> So, my question is, am I not responding to the iodine because it is making T4,

and therefor, making RT3 again? Or is the iodine doing something else to my

thyroid system that is making me feel more hypo? Also, can my body get used to

iodine and T4 after a little while? Does the body ever adjust to iodine?
