Hi all. I've been lurking for years watching trapper, grizz, wombat and ginagirl posting.

Thank you all. I've been on a dailya drop or two of 2% Lugols for about two years now. This past winter I had a few hyperthyroid symptoms and cut down.

A month ago I cut Iodine out and my energy went up. That lasted three weeks and I became tired again. I started the drop daily again with 400mcg selenium, k2 mk7, magnesium orotate and 1-2g of vitamin c in the evening to avoid deactivating the iodine.

Fast forward I've always had a bulge on the top left of my left testicle and at age 9 had surgery for a testicular torsion.


Recently my left testicle has been painful unless I take iodine. Two drops a day with Sea Salt in water and the selenium helps a ton. I've also been putting 4-5 drops of 2% on the eggs down there every week for a while nightly and that seems to help the pain.

My testicles have gone down in size but I KNOW my restate tone is way way way up. Morning wood that's an iron pipe I could use to break bricks, muscle gain, etc.

I'm wondering if SSKI painting or dmso would get something In my angry testicle easier?

Also I'm scared of upping my Lugols dosage and having another hyperthyroid attack. :(

I'm 35, and Iodine has been a miracle supplement and I'm sort of confused here.

I feel like I may f*** myself up if I go high doses and have a thyroid fit, or something but there's no arguing what it's doing for my testicles and testosterone as well as energy and clarity when it is having positive effects.

I feel like I've read myself into oblivion and a confused state. I'm also partially worried about the said testicle even though from my limited layman tests it seems to be an epididymis cyst or hydrocele.

Can some of you greats help me out? I realize this post is all over the place but obviously I have nowhere else to turn and based on the good gains from you folks I was wondering if I'm crazy or doing something wrong or can be doing something better here.

Many thanks and look forward to staying around here
