Question...born w/cherry angiomas
First off.... THANK GOD FOR IODINE! My life is changing because of Lugol's.
I am so new here and I have some questions and curious what I am just learning about myself ... anyway ...
I was born with huge cherry angioma on my neck and small one on the left corner of my eye. They were removed when I was just a baby and I still have the huge scar on the back of my neck at age 40, the one on my face, thank God is gone.
I also remember at the age of 5, maybe even 4 - having horizontal creases in my toenails. Like they were cracked from top to bottom.
As a teenager, I didn't have my period unless I was on birth control. Hated it, stopped it ... then so did my periods.
As the years have gone by I have noticed these symptoms ... I totally lead a normal life and no one would ever know anything was wrong and I always get guessed 12-15 years younger than I am. I have currently been on
Iodine and have seen some symptoms leave ... but here goes ...
- Born with cherry ang. as a baby
- Severe cavities as a child
- Face turned blood red when exercising or playing sports
- Extreme Fear of water, pools & showers as a young child (no longer have that, love the water!)
- Severe allergies as a child
- Asthma, especially when I laughed too hard (no longer have this)
- Severe ear infections as a kid, like gunshots going off in my ears (gone)
- no periods unless given hormones
- Cracked toenails
- My knee started coming out of joint in my mid-20s (it no longer happens)
- Severe headaches in my 20s due to splenda ... so severe I would cry for days
not knowing splenda was the culprit
- Extreme sensitivity to store bought salad dressings, I am guessing it is the hydrogenated soybean oil, my heart would palpitate and I felt like I wanted to throw up
- Lactose intolerant for the most part, gotten worse lately
- Severe left shoulder pain
- Ringing in my left ear
- My left elbow would freeze and I would have to jerk it to straighten out (no longer happens)
- Dry cracked skin on the front of my shins
- Thinning eyebrows, esp outer third
- Hair falling out in my late 30s into 40s (stopped with iodine) still looks thick though
- Had to workout 2 hours a day and eat like a bird to lose weight
- Always had a flat stomach, now it looks bloated! ugh!
- Now that I am in my 40s, I have gained 35 lbs and cannot lose it (been on
Iodine for about 4 weeks and 5 lbs has gone)
- Infertility
- Recently, a nodule on left side of my neck that comes and goes, I cannot see it, but I can feel it (subsiding with iodine)
- Swelling in my left knee
- Swelling in my left ankle
- Pain in my achilles when I wake up in the morning
- Severe calf cramps in the middle of the night (hasn't happened in awhile)
- Constipation past few years (subsiding with Iodine! Thank God!)
- Chronic Fatigue (getting better with Iodine)
- Brain fog and poor memory .. my family knows I cannot remember a damn thing!)
- Wake up around 4 AM and couldn't sleep (sleep well with iodine)
- Cracked skin around my heels, always itchy (subsiding with iodine)
- Cold hands and feet (left with iodine) my family teased me about this too, especially in the middle of summer!
- Recently had 2 tiny cherry ang. pop up below the breasts in the middle of my chest
I just recently went to the beach prior to taking
Iodine which was about 4 weeks ago, I ate tons of peaches and got so sick I thought I was going to die. My throat swelled up so bad, I couldn't swallow and rode it out with something similar to TheraFlu. Still just getting over the effects of it.
For the record, my hair and nails have always grown super fast and have been blessed with clear skin.
I'm sure there is more but is this just an Iodine deficiency or is this something deeper? I don't feel like I am gonna die or anything! lol, but these symptoms have come and gone over the years and I am not a doctor person at all. Been there, done that .... and NEVER received the help I needed.
Curious about anyone's thoughts, thanks for any feedback.
