On Lithium, have hypothyroidism,no longer responding to T4 and less to T3. Starting low iodine diet.
It seems Lithium concentrates
Iodine
to high levels in the thyroid gland and this causes damage. Out of desperation I am trying a low
Iodine
diet to see if this helps. Has anyone tried a low
Iodine
diet or is also struggling with Lithium therapy and Hypothyroidism? Many thanks

I was finally diagnosed with Graves disease in 2018, given radio
iodine
therapy a year later and have since been taking 75mcg of levothyroxine ever since.

Radioactive Iodine
I've just been offered Radioactive
Iodine
. Seems a bit early in my journey but I'd like to get sorted. I'd be grateful for the thoughts of those who know more about thyrotoxicosis than I do please. Best wishes

I did the
Iodine
test where you put a patch of
iodine
on your forearm, and if it disappears in an hour, it means your thyroid is crying out for insulin. The dr had never heard of it.! When I did the test, the
iodine
disappeared within an hour.

still feeling rubbish, any ideas please?
Also taking Vit C, zinc, and selenium, as well as two drops of
iodine
in a Phial of Quinton’s hypertonic since am pretty sure after all these years that I have adrenal fatigue. I’ve just finished a bottle of B12 (my level in Sept was 469 (189-883) so not too bad I think.

Scan Query
I was supposed to have a scan at a private clinic but when i told them I was allergic to
iodine
they said I must have it in hospital because it was too risky. Does anyone know why?

Stopped taking NDT thyroid
I expected TSH not to go so high, because supposedly it doesn't start working well after years on NDT. 2 weeks ago I started taking kelp (150 micrograms of
iodine
in one tablet a day), selenium, black cumin oil and zinc to support my thyroid. Could they affect TSH levels in lab tests?

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Another point to mention: The half life of this medication is said to be 6months according to some medical doctors while others, ie, my endocrinologist reports that the
iodine
can stay in the body for years at a time.

Also concerned about the
iodine
injection that might need to be given.Anyone else had a CT scan rather than an MRI? If so what is the difference? Many thanks for your support
