thanks for this input. your body was biochemically re-engineered by big brother. you have my total sympathy.
i dont know if you are taking Iodine but it is indicated in everyone. however, i realize that reaching a stasis and maintaining a level of function is a real benefit. i cant say what adjustments or how long they will take if you havent started Iodine already. i can even understand that with what has happened you might be totally averse to any halogen supplementation ever again. i personally think its worth the effort and that the end result would be better health overall.
if you are taking iodine, you sound pretty savvy and your tale would make an interesting read. maybe you have already but the number is throwing me off. at any rate, thank you for posting.
