everybody is different but your life will certainly improve taking iodine. read and read and never give up. theres lots to know but just getting experience with Iodine is the main goal and provides enough information to judge for yourself.
the Iodine docs say about a third still need their meds but do much better than before, a third are able to cut the meds but not completely and some can get off of them for good. i think your chances are better than that.
get hydrated and take the companion supplements, too.
