Iodine and Thyroid Nodules
I am at a loss.
I recently had a thyroid ultrasound, which shows 3 nodules (7.5mm, 3mm, and 2.5mm) My ENDO suggested that I begin taking
Iodine to see if that will reduce their size, as I am
Iodine deficient. He initially gave me 25mg of Logul's iodine, which sent me through the roof (hyper) for 24+ hours, what a mess. I stopped taking it for 2 days, then tried 3mgs, which also made me feel hyper.
I read that if a person has a HOT nodule, then
Iodine will cause you to go hyper and that I should stop taking it and get a FNA done. I explained this to my ENDO, but he said that they do not do FNAs on nodules smaller than 1cm. WTF!!!!!!
Does that make any sense??????
Does anyone have any advice/feedback on this matter, as now it seems the hyper symptoms are still here and I am struggling to figure out my next step.
Thanks,
