Could Iodine Have Caused My Symptoms and Should I Stop?Posted By Katrina (Brush, Co) on 02/15/2016
I decided to support my immune system because that's what graves is an immune system attacking the body. I started taking elderberry 4 times a day. For 2 days. I felt very sick had a 100.4 and considered going to the hospital. I decided I was ok enough to sleep that night and see how I felt in the morning. I went to lay down and the second my head hit the pillow I heard an audiable pop sound from my thyroid, which was feeling very swollen and was slightly visible from the outside. I felt warm liquid in my esophagus and then thoughout my body. My fever broke and I felt much better instantly. I am curious if anyone has any idea if this was just because I over did it. Or if I should avoid iodine from now on. I felt amazing for the first time in forever the first 2 days I took the thyroid support. Also, the skin issues that I have dealt with for a long time on my feet cleared up. I also started to have energy and loose some weight which hasn't happens ever since my 2 year old was born. She is my 4th and every other baby I have lost all baby weight without trying after 9 months. I would like to take iodine of some sort. I am just not sure if that cause the problem or something else. Thanks in advance for any answers.
