Re: Update
Catecholamines! Last year I wouldn't have known the term, but mine were tested in April - they were all screwy.
Were heavy metals the main cause of your ailments? Mold and heavy metals have similar effects I've read. There is even a theory that mold hangs onto metals. Have you tried the suppository Detoxamin? At first it really helped, but my body now rejects it - literally. Omg, the pain down there was excruciating. But if you can tolerate it, it's worth looking into.
I don't mind upping my thyroid med, but when I've tried, I never felt better. I honestly can't even afford to right now. Maybe you missed some of my references, but mold IS the underlying cause. I was in perfect health before moving into a moldy apartment (I've been out for almost 3 years). I just try working around it for now because I haven't killed the infection. I do take zinc, selenium, and iodine.
Iodine is not something to toy with. I will never go above 12.5mg. I have a feeling it messes with the adrenals if they are not strong. Perhaps all those success stories are from people without a mold issue with better adrenals.
