Re: Iodine doses

[Guest guest]

I have taken long term 50 mgs. per day. I cannot afford 100 mgs. per day; that

is just not financially feasible right now. Right now I am right around 25 mgs.

plus a little more per day.

I can't afford much of anything but I make sure I get enough iodine, vitamins

and hormones. I am not going to suffer anymore.

Well, that is difficult to explain. I was sick all my life; my childhood was

miserable with classic thyroid symptoms that no adult in my life caught on to. I

accepted it as normal for me at the time, but knew I was different from my

neighbors and classmates; I had nowhere near their energy and preferred to read

in my room; I was and still am very reclusive, but then it was more having no

energy to run around that much and was tired all the time. I wasn't diagnosed

until I was well into middle age, so most of my early life and early adulthood

were not much fun and spend in a fog; I don't remember a lot of things. I didn't

find much help with doctors; I was put on synthcrap, and even after dosage

adjustments several times never did very well or felt very well and all hypo

symptoms were still there and then some; I was resigned to feeling awful and

depressed. I got so bad that I knew I couldn't go on the way I was, so got on

the internet and started

researching. I found out about Armour first, got nowhere with doctors; they

didn't really care that I didn't feel well and wouldn't give me anything but

more synthcrap (I hate the stuff), so I did more research and found a couple of

thyroid and my own research was corroborated there. I knew a Chiro

and he helped me out; he was the one who had alerted me to my adrenal problems

and warned me that I might crash; he was right and I did - he knew the extremem

stress that we were going through - 2 children going south and a house burning

down. He didn't sell me anything, but advised me on what I should do and when I

found the I passed my their suggestions through him and he said

they were right on the mark for me. So we treated my adrenals first and then

added Armour at 1/2 grain, titrating up from there. He also encourage me to

start iodine, as he figured from my woeful physical history and condition that I

was very deficient; no

testing, just from his observation of myself and DH and what we grew up eating

and what we presently ate at the time. I didn't know about the Hashi's at the

time, but I think my former doctor did, because he had told me once, long before

this, that my thyroid had one side that didn't work, that was kind of shrunken,

but he didn't say anything about Hashi's and sure as heck didn't test

antibodies! It took another 15 or so years to get tested for that! I take

iodoral when I could afford it and don't when I can't. I noticed that when

taking it I felt more alert after taking it for a while; evidently it is

cumulative. I also noticed that I did better on 50 mgs. as opposed to 25 mgs. so

that is what I settled on. My Hashi's didn't get worse; I got better, but as

with many treatments, I did get worse BEFORE I got better, but I had been there

and done that with other treatments, so it didn't bother me because I knew what

to expect. So I will say that the

difference can be subtle, and then it seems all of a sudden you realize that

you are doing better and since I didn't change a lot of things at the same time

or add a lot of things at the same time, I was able to determine what it was

that I had done to help things get better. It wasn't like fireworks; it was much

more subtle than that, but the effects have been all good; I haven't even had

too many detox symptoms; just a little - a few pimples that went away, but

nothing that I couldn't handle. So, while the effects have been subtle, when I

stop to think about it they are very definite and very positive.
