period stopped
I have been reading all your helpful information on various forums for the last 2 years. Last year finally started
Iodine supplementing while qoing off synthroid onto Armour for Hashimotos. Of course TSH went beserk and convinced naturopath to give couple more months before retest. H e thought the
Iodine bad idea, but ignored advice and stayed with the 50 mgs. Did a loading test after 4 months, up to 80%secretion, and bromide at 28%. Upped dose to 100mg for about 3 weeks, was too much for me and backed down to 50mg, and taking 1 grain less Armour. Feel more normal with lots of energy. Anyway,
Iodine within 3 weeks got rid of tender breasts, lost 10 lbs, felt much more energetic. Did not take care of constipation, nor lack of sex drive, nor sleep problems. Did warm me up tho, basal temp now 97.8 on average. Period stopped completely 2 months ago. Hot flashes started at same time, had not had before. Hands and feet are warmerI was probably about to stop period because of menopause anyway as I'm 51 and have had perimenopause symptoms for years. Funny thing is, my 16 year old daughter who also has Hashimotos, switched to Armour, taking first 12.5 iodine, then 1 month ago up to 25 mgs has also not had a period in 2 months. Her basal temperature is still at 97 or below, doc whats blood work done soon. Any ideas as to what up. I will probably have us both quit the iodine and see what happens.
