Hello I'm fresh to this forum and have a question, been on Iodine for the last 3 months slowly incresing the dosage from 2 drops to 24 drops of 5% Lugols iodine. I have a lazy thyroid, fibrocystic breasts,& candida for the last 16 years. Doctors did not help as all "standard tests" were within the range.
Taking Iodine has helped me with all of my troubles imencely, my breasts are very itchy but nice and soft, and hardly any pain. I have energy I haven't had since I was a teenager and no joint or muscle pain anymore. How ever I have noticed the last couple of days that my thyroid is a little swollen, it itches or burns and at times hurts. My question is why now after 3 months and not at the beginning? I've had all the usual detox symptoms, headaches, sinuses, very itchy skin and scalp, very bad PMS which is currently getting a little better. I take selenium, B2,B3, high doses of vit C, vit A liver herbs, magnesium plus adrenal support herbs. I also salt flush 2x a day and drink boron.
I had a weekend off Iodine but took all the supps, The thyroid pain and swelling calmed down a little, day 2 thyroid is cranky and burning or itches like mad. Should I have a break from iodine or just keep going?

I should also mention that I come from Czech Republic, formally known as Czechoslovakia and was 16 yo when Chernobyl blew and had sent radioactive clouds over CZ and most of Northern Europe. I believe I have a lot of crap to get out of my body tjat will take years to sort out.
Thank you for your help
