My eyelashes are falling out

Over tha last few days, I've noticed a lot of my eyelashes fall out. I can even see a space on my lash line where there doesn't seem to be any lashes. I also am having more trouble sleeping. Recently I've noticed that my skin is also a bit dry. This could be because I'm using a different moisturiser since I ran out of wombat's cream but I tried using oil and my face is still dry. Has my thyroid become overactive? Should I stop taking Iodine for a while?? I'm really nervous that I did something wrong by taking high doses of iodine.

This is a reply to # 2,223,044Actually my skin is definitely more dry the last week or two, it has nothing to do with what cream I'm using.

This is a reply to # 2,223,157How much Iodine and selenium are you taking?
My numbers were creeping towards hyperthyroid before supplementing with iodine, and after nearly 3 years all my numbers are spot on and I feel great. If one were to become hyper from iodine, I would have been one of them. I have supplemented up to 6 grams of SSKI and 500mg Lugols for quite some time.
Maybe your selenium intake is too low? I personally will take ~ 200mcg selenium per 100mg iodine, or about 800mcg total if I'm using lots of SSKI .

This is a reply to # 2,223,258Yes I was taking about 1 gram SSKI and some days I only took 400mcg selenium, others I took 600mcg. I will take 800mcg from now on. Ok hopefully that was the problem.
Thank you very much, I was getting worried!
Do you think I should take a few days break from iodine? I would prefer not to break for too long but I might need to, just to be safe.

This is a reply to # 2,223,044My skin has become dryer and the texture has changed. Ive noticed that the skin is "loose" for a lack of a better word, not necessarily saggy. The cartilage in my nose is definitely softer and more flexible. And I have noticed that a few of my eye lashes are falling out. I've asked about this before, but no one gave me a reply.

This is a reply to # 2,223,522How much Iodine were you/are you taking? And how much selenium? I stopped Iodine for 2 days and started taking 800mcg selenium, don't know if that was the problem. Hopefully it was.

Eylashes falling out, eyebrows, dry skin; one of the many symptoms of hypothyroid, also hyper thyroid may have this.
Too much selenium may have a say in this; in one case of mine it happened when she quit the Iodine but continued the selenium. She lost some hair and the outer part of the eyebrows. All restored after a few weeks /couple of months.
It could also be Alopecia Areata, that sometimes attack the follicles of eye lashes.

This is a reply to # 2,223,698Hi Ginagirl,
Yeah I initially feared that I had induced hyperthyroid somehow.
Hopefully it is just the selenium. I posted in the ask trapper forum too and glaxony also told me it sounded like too much selenium.
I'm going to lower the dose of both selenium and Iodine and see how I get on.
Thanks
