Thanks for the info on the iodine and thyroid issues. It was my Dr. who diagnosed me with the Hash throiditis as well as prescribed the iodine.???????
Based on that article it looks like they' re not compatible. I'll discuss that with him on my next visit.
Mrs. D - I'll check with my Dr. about that scan. However, after looking at the symptoms you described - I don't have any (except cold feet which I've had all my life). Also, my tsh is 1.72 and t4 is 1.09. The research I did on the thyroid (hypothyroidism or was it hashitmotos (I forget-I read about both of them) said your tsh would be high and your t4 would be low if you had either of these conditions. Looks like I am ok according to my test results.
However, I am having the thyroid tests repeated next week as these results are from a year ago.
Thanks to both of you for your help. I just am so grateful for this website and people like you who are so willing to take time to share their knowledge with others.
