Did you take Lugol's or Iodoral? I'm taking the potassium Iodide orally now and painting on 2% Iodine tincture (from Walgreens). I'm on my 4th day of 40 mg prednisone and my lungs feel like their dry, burning and irritated. This is the worst and most peculiar attack I've had in quite a while.....Asthma bites a BIG ONE!! Your post gives me hope!!!
