Hashimoto and Hair Falling out. Tried but failed Iodine supplementation. Help!
Hi! Im 45yr woman, Hashimoto on Naturethroid for 15yrs. Lost left ovary 8yrs ago due to endometriosis. Defeated H-Pylori, candida, greatly improved all biomarkers with Ketogenic lowcarb diet for 3yrs. For about a year my hair’s been falling out-a lot more than usual to point I’m clogging drains and feel I’ll go bald. I started 200mcg
Iodine in Icelandic kelp w 100mcg selenium about a month ago. Felt dead tired then suddenly awesome and my hair loss stopped!! Hallelujah ...for two weeks. Then all hells been breaking loose. My period came a week early which never happened, my breast felt super sore, my skin started to crack, skin at finger tips started to peel off, my left shoulder ached, couldn’t sleep at all for days,then one night I felt like I couldn’t breathe and terrified me.
I stopped everything and realized perhaps it was too much too quickly so gave it a rest for 10days. Then a week ago I restarted Just 50mcg Icelandic kelp. I felt better overall, hair felt strong again. Then I started spotting now going on for 8days- very light but I don’t know when it’ll stop and getting a bit worried tho I feel fine, a bit more tired in the morning but have been eating a lot of red meat and green veg and feel like it should be ending but isn’t? Also I’m bit bloated and breast sore as if I’m having my period? I’ve stopped all
Iodine supplements, and quickly started to lose hair again. Aagghh so frustrating. Should I just forget about it? What am I doing wrong.
