So? Your TSH is less than 2.0?
As per Dr Mercola and what I've seen, anything above 2 can be considered hypothroid.
Depending on other symptoms.
To be honest, I think best health should be closer to 0.5.
As J. Crows says, there is no alchol in Lugol's.
You have several major health problems going on.
They have become inter-related.
You will need to do some homework to determine your best course of actions.
Having regular elimination is a KEY concern as most of your course will be set on detox.
Iodine constipated me for 3 months as it detoxed metal from my innards.
I did the
SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) every Monday morning and added other "movers" as needed.
Realize now this is going to be a process that will take months to several years.
But, you will improve.
To Your Great Health,

PS As a side note, you can "dope"
Lugol's with small amounts of vitamin C or ACV or even selenium (tastes bad) so it is not "aggressive" in consuming your resources. Which, if you have been sick for an extended period of time, you don't have enough of anyway.
