I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 30 plus yrs ago. I have supplemented with synthroid, armour, westhroid, compounded. I began Lugols supplementation, about 4 drops AM and PM 1 week ago. I was already taking bladderwrack (contains iodine) as well as selenium, vita c, and b vits. I have had some anxiety (mainly over the edge concern about health ie. uncontrolable crying, sleep disturbance) Also working on hormone balance which adds to the moodswings.
What can I expect from the Iodine increase? Am I likely to get a faster heartrate at saturation and need to reduce thyroid supplementation? How does one tell when enough Iodine is being supplemented?
