After reading about how great iodine is for your health on the misc I decided to give it a try. I was putting a few drops of Lugol's on my skin and it ended up making me extremely sick. Initially it gave me flu like symptoms and I was still going to the gym because I wasn't aware that it was the iodine causing it. Felt fine while I was at the gym but afterwards I began to feel the sickest I've ever felt in my life, the best way to describe it would be like I had poison in my bloodstream. I felt extremely nauseous and disoriented almost like I was in a dream, which lasted for a few hours. The texture of my hair changed overnight (turned light brown, very thin, dry and brittle) and I had joint pain, muscle weakness, tingling/burning sensations, slight tremors that lasted for weeks. I went to the doctor to get my thyroid checked and everything came back in range. It has been 9 months since I was first putting iodine on my skin and I'm still experiencing symptoms. The initial symptoms of joint pain, muscle weakness, and the tingling/burning sensations went away but my hair is still extremely dry and brittle, my eyebrow hair is falling out, my complexion looks sickly, my cheeks and eyes are sunken, and there's a nonstop ringing in my ears. I've tried a bunch of different supplements to cure myself, right now I am taking fish oil, mega dosing vitamin c, b complex, celtic sea salt, pantothenic acid, NAC, and a few others but they seem to have no effect at all. I was completely fine before I took iodine, the only reason I tried it was because the misc said it was good for your health. This stuff has ruined my life and I wish I never heard of it, the worst part is knowing that I did this to myself. I have narrowed down to either something wrong with my adrenal gland or possibly some type of heavy metal poisoning. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be or how I can fix it?

If you look like death and your ears are ringing constantly then you should probably go to a medical professional, not the misc cuz
also, maybe you should avoid supplementing individuals micros
eat a varied diet and keep the fish oil
tell them you can't sleep because your ears are ringing without reason
your lack of sleep is leaving you inefficient with muscle/joint pain
your quality of life is suffering
no sex drive, no ambition
misc will not cure your ailmentsOnly person worth quoting is yourself.

If you aren't taking selenium with it you dun goofed. I knnow you won't listen, but the problems you are facing are caused by not taking enough. You are going through heavy metal detox. take in a bunch of salt as well .check this forum for answers http://curezone.org/forums/f.asp?f=815

I haven't been consistent with taking the selenium. Only supplements I have been taking consistently are b complex, vit c, and celtic sea salt but they seem to do nothing which is the most depressing part about this ordeal that there has been no improvement at all. It's not getting worse but it's not getting better either. I've never experienced anything like this where my body wasn't able recover by itself. At this point it feels hopeless, I didn't think I would be in the same boat 9 months later.

Call a few local chiropractors and ask if any do "Nutrition Response Testing." I had heavy metal poisoning (mercury) and was cured using treatments everyone here would dismiss as "quackery" (ironically, "quacks" was the original, non-derogatory name of dentists who administered mercury fillings)
Its almost impossible to guess and test with vitamins and supplements - NRT will help you know which specific vitamins/minerals and which doses will help you feel better.

I don't even.
Iodine is essential for thyroid function, and the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The body can't make iodine itself. So we need to take it in. But, we need micrograms of it and the body can store it. This is why simple measures such as iodised salt can halt goiter formation across entire societies.
Why anyone would tell you to megadose it is beyond me. No wonder you felt ill. Probably try not to do it again.

That's megadosing. This stuff is effecive in doses of a thousandth of a gram. Applying it to the skin is also bypassing your digestive system, dumping it more or less directly in your bloodstream. 50 drops is death wish territory.
FWIW I've had tinnitus for a long time. If it is not tied to gigs or transient factors such as medication, it never means anything good.
It can be down to all manner of things, but is ALWAYS a symptom of SOMETHING.
