@Violien, your explanation sounds quite logic!
Could you tell me what the companions of Iodine are? (maybe I´ve forgotten something...). I´m not sure if I´m really Iodine-deficient...I read about a self test where Iodine is printed on the body and if the body absorbs it all one is deficient. Do you know if this test is reliable?
Btw now I am on 1mg Iodine from food and 100mcg Selenium daily. For around 2 days I got in addition to my muscle issues and tiredness a strong headache which gets even worse when I eat something high in Iodine. Should I keep to eat 1mg daily though?!
And do you guys know how long it takes the thyroid to self-regulate again?
