Re: the "jitters"
Thank you for your quick response.
1. The trip was "in the States" but was somewhat stressful (family-you know!) but we have "been there, done that" before without these results. She has also skipped taking iodine for short periods of time before, but has never experienced these results when resuming the iodine again.
2. Before she started taking KI she took Lugols solution for 6 weeks, 12-25mg. This would have been nearly 2 years ago.
3. She does have a history of "gross exposure to mercury as in amalgams"...6 to be precise. We are on a limited income and cannot afford to have them removed. (I have 4 amalgams also and have had no ill effects from Lugols or SSKI...yet?) A hair analysis test, six years ago, revealed no high mercury levels at that time. (.42)
4. Her "fear factor" is high and she is concerned that she may have done irreperable damage to her thyroid gland and will remain hyperthyroid indefinitly. Is this fear well founded?
5. She also takes 200 mcg. of selenium, 1-5grams of viamin C, uses Sole' and salt water, and natural progesterone.
