First i want to thank you for answering me about the Iodine test.
I am new on the site and new on the subject(thyroid problems r/t iodine).
After you responded - I read some of your post and realized what a journey you had.
I must say that i am v.v lucky to find curezone and read this. I guess it's gonna safe me a lot of trouble wondering around looking in the wrong direction.
I was not diagnosed yet with thyroid - but reality is that i do have a problem and more and more looks like Hoshimoto (unfortunately).I am in the process of investigating it.

Now, i have this huge desire to ask you- how in the world is it possible that for 31 years no endocrinologist would advise you to take iodine???

Years back i went to one of the best hospitals in New York and check my thyroid(i was feeling tired with poor concentration,etc) but nothing major.They run the basic tests Now,looking back i wonder why nobody run the antibody test.I guess I looked too healthy(from the outside) or maybe just trying to please the insurance and run only the basics- so i was told that i'm tired-that's all(I was a workoholic and constantly under stress at the time.)
If just the simple thing of taking iodine(the main ingredient-thyroid needs)makes such a huge difference - than why all those meds??

I am answering under this post because despite the fact that i love and respect Oprah- and feel her pain-this might make a difference for a lot of people.
She's got a voice and someone has to hear it!!! So let the New York Times come to the site. There are so many people with this misdiagnosed disease. It's about time !!!
