![]() When I told him I’m still not well, he told me he “can’t give me more T3” (?!) as though I were a drug addict begging for heroin. He told me i do not have Hashis, my adrenals are fine, the RT3 was cleared, no Candida overgrowth, initial urine test for iodine showed a high level…I feel as though i have, at different times hypo symptoms (fatigue especially, weakness, can’t workout out, bloating, foggy brain, blurred vision) and hyper (especially at night…breathlessness, all over body anxiety, feeling of head fullness “rush” as well as startle reflex to noise, cannot sleep) My latest labs made my Dr happy, but I still do not feel well. I have been put on a sustained release T3 100mcg, 1 in the a.m. under the tongue by spray are better than tablets. I have found that powdered products are better than tablets, for instance, and B vit. I have found that my absorbtion rates are not very good, and I suggest that as you know that your’s aren’t, that you think about what you are taking by mouth, and what you are actually absorbing. I believe that you need to get it up to about 12 hours before you have retained the ‘normal’ amount. By applying it to my skin, I have increased the time it takes to disappear from 20 mins to 9 hours. I did the Lugol’s test of applying one drop just down from the inside elbow crease, and watch to see how long it took to disappear. It gave me the idea of absorbing it through my skin. Then I accidently spilt some on my arm, and I rubbed it in. My Holistic Doctor told me to increase the Lugols to 6 drops per day, but still no real change. I was taking two drops of Lugols per day with no change in my absorption rate. Make sure you are absorbing the Iodine, not to mention the selenium, tyrosine etc. I would adjust my iodine consumption before letting anyone fool with my thyroid…from experience. Asians eat 1000x the iodine that Americans eat and the RDA of iodine for us Americans is well below the Asians. I make a tea with hot water, honey, apple cider vinegar to aid in digestion and elimination of waste with the addition of 1 drop of Logol’s iodine at 5%. In my case, I believe the flouride interfered with my iodine consumption or I wasn’t eating enough to compensate. I am now 245 pounds and find myself with uncontrollable hypothroidism at 200mg levothyroxine with a TSH of 7.8.Īfter researching on medical websites I found out that low iodine intake can cause hyperthyroid and hypothyroid. Afterward, I was gaining weight at a rate of 5 pounds every three months. I went from having 5x the normal amount of thyroid hormone to hypothyroid in 2 months. ![]() Radioactive iodine was administered and my thyroid died. Supposedly there’s only two medicines to treat this and one caused a rash and the other didn’t work. ![]() I don’t know how the government lets the water company dispense a hazardous waste without prescription that interferes with iodine absorption. I was drinking a lot of tap water which has flouride in it. Little did I know at that time that flouride interferes with the iodine feeding my thyroid. At that time I was walking 4-5 miles 5x per week and weighed 140 pounds. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid Graves disease 20 years ago. Wilsons Temperature Syndrome is reversible and often responds dramatically well to proper T 3 therapy. ![]() Without treatment patients may suffer indefinitely. The symptoms can persist for years after a stressful illness and can worsen with subsequent stresses. On the other hand, Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome causes severe low thyroid symptoms and is undiagnosable with thyroid blood tests. The condition is not considered to need treatment because there are no symptoms and the tests go back to normal when the stressful illness has passed. Euthyroid Sick Syndrome is all about abnormal thyroid blood tests in patients without low thyroid symptoms. Other than having one thing in common, Euthyroid Sick Syndrome and Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome are almost complete opposites. Persists after non-thyroid stress or illness has passed Probably due to decreased T 4 to T 3 conversion According to that definition, here is how Euthyroid Sick Syndrome and Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome compare: Euthyroid Sick Syndrome is defined in the online Merck Manual. ![]()
