Re: Thyroid labs and ultrasound results

Went in for the actual follow up appointment, just reiterated what was said over the phone, that the Iodine is interferring with test results and to stop for a month and retest blood and ultrasound.

Previous #s: normal range but fluctuates
- TSH: 1.19 --- T4 Free: 1.2 (before iodine)
- TSH: 1.09 (before iodine)
- TSH: 3.808 (before iodine)
- TSH: 3.471 (several months after starting iodine, 2 years ago)

So my number are within range, Iodine is supposed to shrink thyroid if swollen and help with cysts, yet they want me to stop Iodine to retest. This seems like a ploy to push a Rx on me.

I should jump back to 5 grams SSKI /day for shits and giggles and see what happens to the lab numbers, thyroid size and cysts.

Gina: tried lithium, didn't get much help from it. Might need to try a different variety. Not long ago I got some Kala Namak, that smelly sulfur salt. I could give the MSM a go too.

Trapper: I have always wanted to try the glandulars. I think its a good idea to give it a try.

Thanks!
