Re: Calling all iodine mavens! "too much" iodine??

Grz,

Could be a malfunction in the regulation of thyroid hormones or in the TSH to begin with due to one of the above mentioned causes, or? Maybe the signal from the pituitary, adrenals or both is messed up.

that is what I figured it had to be, but I wanted to see if anyone could
explain it biochemically or physiologically. Knew that it could not possibly
be due to excessive iodine, after reading this forum for the past several
weeks or more, but also didn't know how to put it into the right words.

however, this is limited in that it would give one the impression of a linear action with a start and end, when in fact hormonal functions in the body are an endless feedback loop including multidirectional communications with all the other glands and tissues\organs of the body.

the "endless feedback loop...with all the other glands, etc." makes total
sense to me. Looking back in my own life, there was a point during which
I am certain I had to be HYPERthyroid, I wasn't sleeping, I had this sort
of bug-eyed expression, almost, and I had no appetite and kept losing weight,
and felt very hyper. I was distraught over being jobless and homeless
in an area where I knew very few people and I did not have family close by,
when I was a lot younger. Most of my life I've suffered from the opposite (at least since age 25 or 26) to one degree or another. Of course it got far more severe since the time I was in my early to mid-forties.
