Hi, I was recommended by the Iodine forum to come here for answers/advice. I started increasing Iodine very gradually from October as per the hashimotos protocol, (not sure if I have it but I think I do, TSH 4.8 + 3.6, cold hands etc) great the first few weeks, but from January started to sweat in the evenings, in bed and mornings - cooler during the day though. Heart rate gradually increased too. 4 days ago I got really hot with strong palpitations espcially in the neck, I had only reached 4.5mg of Iodine at this point. I stopped iodine and it subsided after 2 days, although I still feel them mildly, and I am feeling wired and anxious. I religiously took all of the co supplements, no gluten/dairy/alcohol/caffeine - healthy diet, juices, fruit, veg etc. I must admit I am frightened to start again now as it was similar symptoms to my mother who now has heart failure - is there anything I missed or did wrong? grateful for any insight - I am continuing with supps and salted water but only the iodine in my multi at the moment which is the RDA. The Iodine Forum said I need to look at the adrenals, thanks.
