I second the mercury theory... IF you've had (or especially do still have) a lot of "silver" fillings (or some other exposure in the past).
Selenium does move it around and crosses the blood-brain. If this is the case, try and cutler's protocol first! (and just supplement <1 mg/day of Iodine until you clear out that mercury)
...but yeah Iodine and selenium work together and could possibly also cause the problem.
