Experiences with

Iodine

I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Diagnosed with Endo on pelvic wall nearly 3 years ago now. In the past year my symptoms have increased drastically. Heavy, painful periods and spotting randomly (on the combined pill). Lower back pain is excruciating it swells physically. Been to physio and pain management for this, they just say MRI

Hi RLS survivors I am continuing my Pregabalin journey and wanted to check in with this community to ask out loud various questions circling around my head. The good news is that Pregabalin is making a difference. I get some relief from jumpy legs at night even on a low dose (75mg) What I am experiencing

Hi All Back home post op, whilst in it became clear opioids did not not like me at all!!! Visual disturbances etc. But it was manageable with everything going on. Day 3 at home ( paracetamol and 15mg codeine with a liquid Oxy at night ) it’s clear it’s getting worse, 3 migraines yesterday and awoke

Hi everyone long time no post! Pleased to say the AF has been quite stable over the last 6 months or so, a few blips here and there but usually down to lack of sleep, bugs and dehydration! However over the last 2-3 months my osteoarthritis has been getting steadily worse to the point I've had trouble

Bottom line is my partner was on 4 drops Lugols Iodine via patch test via Naturopath for thyroid, she felt worse with that treatment and stopt the iodine drops and the Naturopath on 15 Sept 22, we did a Genova urine iodine test on 25 Oct 22 to see if actually deficient, she wasnt the result was 322with

Following emergency surgery 18 months ago for a burst ovarian abscess I am not waiting for surgery for endo as I have a couple of cysts which are staying out the largest one is endometria of 7cm and ablation at the same time. As I had a laparotomy my consultant has waited for further surgery as it’s

morning all It’s been quite a ride…my ear started bothering me a bit on Monday . Just a small uptick in tinnitus which I tried to ignore. By Tuesday I was a bit worried because I have had total hearing loss in the past due to auto immune attack which was only (partially) restored due to mega doses of

They are giving me this iodine drink for two weeks before the surgery to block my thyroid functioning. Just waiting on a date now they said up to 8 weeks. I also want to thank everyone on here for their advice during this difficult time xx

I had cellulitis in both legs about 2 months ago. This has left me with open wounds and fluid running down my legs. I have other health issues and I can only have cotton against my skin. I literally can't eat, sleep or drink anything but water because of the pain and I can't deal with the wound care

I was thinking about taking some multivitamin but I can not find one without iodine here in NZ. 3- I started to feel a little shaky again, palpitations and a bit dizzy sometimes, I was feeling so good a couple weeks ago :( Any tips to improve my wellbeing is much appreciated :)

see a neurologist Wednesday and I'm going to talk about this medication currently I'm on 150mg pregabalin and 30mg codeine phosphate at lunch time and 300mgs plus 2 x 30mgs of codeine phosphate at bed time if the neurologist agrees has any one got thoughts on dates I should be dropping etc

Hi RLS survivors Update to previous posts: GP has prescribed Pregabalin for RLS. Currently been advised to take two 25mg tablets before bedtime. First night was great. No symptoms but still some fractured sleep. Since then, my legs have been truly awful. Jerking, moving from 2am/3am until morning

Hello, I am pondering on iodine supplementation. The b-complex I used it buy have changed the formula to add iodine so I am trying another one. However my nutritionist friend has incouraged me to have some iodine as it is important for healthy breast tissue and ovaries.

hi, I’ve been experiencing upper right pain under my rib that radiates into my upper back. (Feels like I have a bag behind my ribs - Strange I know) I’ve become feverish but no temperature. Doctor has given me 30mg of Codeine Phosphate to take but it isn’t helping the pain. Anyone recommend stringer

Hopefully, if you read this you’ve seen my original rant about the ablation (RAI) of my Thyroid for graves. You will have read that at the time, despite my almost blind faith in the GP and Endo (and their proposed care path), I had my reservations: I felt my condition had settled under the long use of

Hi everyone... feeling pretty dreadful right now... I was in theatre yesterday due to an infected sebaceous cyst on my back that just appeared overnight. In the last few days I had erythromycin for 3 days which severely upset my stomach followed by 6 days of clarithromycin...neither helped. Now I'm on

And, like many of us, I was almost certainly deficient in [i]magnesium, iodine, and vitamin D[/i] - probably due to [i]malabsorption[/i] because of an adverse feedback between adrenal/thyroid and stomach acid.
