As reported below, I'm taking 4gm iodiDe daily

at present - (and NO Iodine at all).

Just last night, I decided to post once a week on my progress.

However, for those of you who have been curious about me, (the pm's and all) I consider it my DUTY to report negative things too.

I woke up in a lot of pain this morning.

HOWEVER...I was out of it within an hour.

Here's what happened.

I thought I might be backed up, so I did a salt push. Also, another reason for the salt push was that the pain not only felt like it could be coming from my intestines, I had lower back pain AND right-side-of-gut pain.

I'm thinking, oh no. This could be any of a number of things:
appendix, gallbladder, liver, stomach, plugged intestines OR kidneys...or a combination of ANY of these things!

I did only ONE salt-push, went back to bed and laid on my stomach; a lot of the pains left just from laying down, and THAT relieved me - so, I fell asleep.

I awoke one hour later, had to pee, and was 95% out of pain.

Did another salt push for good measure (having taken 1/2 tsp salt and 20oz water both times) and then went grocery shopping with my daughter.

Grocery shopping always makes me excruciatingly TIRED. I think it's the chemicals they use on their floors.

Today? Got all the groceries put away and I

STILL
FEEL
GREAT!

Karen here, doing a happy dance!
