898, can I check the iodine content in my urine with any stripes...like pregenency test..sorry to bother u. I frequently use bathroom for 1 and 2????........
Alikat, thanks for the website...
So miserable...when i am healthy ...I didn't give much imp to my body...but now my head always revolves around thyroid and its nodule...I am restless.
check out iodine4health.com this page shows the research done with iodine, I found it pretty interesting.
The iodine concentration in urine is used to dtermine if dietary iodine deficiency exists
I have only one nodule...I think mine is not a diffuse goiter. Daily I am taking mutivitamin tablet.
My endo didn't tell me anything about Iodine difciency in my case. Should I ask my endo to check the levels of iodine in my blood? is there a test?
*898,my nodule is not at all painfull and I can move my neck freely ...there is no compressin of blood vessels around my neck..I assume.
Please help.
Iodine deficiency will result in diffuse goiter first; then few nodules will form in it after 30-35 years of age.
Have you looked into the possibility of iodine deficiency? goiters are a symptom of iodine deficiency. look up the research of dr.brownstein and abraham .
Unless the nodule is pressing on the blood vessel of the neck there should be no connection between nodule and headache.
The compressive symptoms are evident by presence of dilated veins on the upper chest and the neck.
Thank you 898,
I am recently having headaches basically when I carry heavy loads of weight....Is this the symptom of thyroid?
If I run for ten min on trademill I get headache.It was not the case six months back......Why are these headaches coming...weekly once I am having these types of attacks. Not severe. Just comes and goes..like reminder that u are not healthy and sick..
Please advice.
thank you...you are so helpfull..
Cabbage may cause diffuse [uniform swelling rather one nodule] if nodule is not producing hormones no special diet is really necessary
