need help please, breathing problems
Hi,
I wrote up symptoms, problems, diagnosis, etc but it turned into a 5 pg word document so I’m not going to post…just too long. I’m having a terrible time though. Things SO bad that I went back to allopathic drs and tests last fall through now. Numerous and various thyroid bloodtests kept coming back normal and I kept pushing about thyroid since all hypothyroid symptoms and even many hyperthyroid symptoms. Finally a 24 hour urine collection test (not the
Iodine loading test) showed severe
Iodine deficiency. I believe I was/am also truly bromide toxic as well (from past 4 yrs of lots of inhaler use and lots of bread for gluten testing last summer which felt like it was killing me). Three months later (in fall) very ill with all thyroid symptoms worse and severe abdominal pain all the time, so freezing cold that had uncontrollable shaking, urinating tons all the time, parched throat, breathing much worse, throat bad again…like swollen and restricted feeling (nodule plus diffuse goiter) along with sharp shooting pain on either side of neck, and feeling of thyroid spewing out hormones or something. Many mental issues like can’t concentrate, memory loss, not knowing how car ac works, etc. Very scary:(
Found out around april that severe
Iodine deficient. Began supplementing with 1 drop of iosol (1.8mg) and hit with Horrible detox immediately. Kept slowly increasing to 12mg then switched to lugol’s 5% vertical drops and continued through the detox til increased to 50mg. When I began 50 mg, I started the other stuff…vit c of 2000, selenium, salt pushes. After 1 week, my breathing got worse and worse and worse (I have emphysema and copd but went 2 months without inhalors and was fine. Then I began supplementing iodine and breathing steadily worsened to where I nearly called 911 it was so bad (in mornings before taking iodine again). I understand the bromide detox, but what is making my breathing this bad?? The detox? the iodine? the vit c? or maybe the salt pushes?? (I am 5’1” and 96 lbs). maybe 1 tsp of realsalt split throughout the day is just too much for me?? Also terribly thirsty and super dry throat in morning as well. And yes I am drinking lots of bottled distilled water.
Please if anyone has any idea, I really need help. The rest of the detox is so awful and so extreme, but I need to be able to breathe. I’m willing to work through detox as the last 4 yrs of my life are just gone due to continued sickness. I think the iodine deficiency has impacted my entire body not just my thyroid. Suggestions??
BTW, had awful reaction of just 100mg of niacin (more than just flushing) so I can’t take it again. Does the atp cofactors cause the flushing or no?
Thank you for any help,
