[QUOTE="theoneguy, post: 151448, member: 18429"] So for those that know i posted a while ago that i was taking 125mcg a day of iodine and it cause my shoulders to break out with crazy acne. Well I have also been having thyroid problems for a while too and my free t3, free t4 always at the very bottom of the acceptable range and tsh normally between 2 and 5. I stopped taking iodine start of the year and in the last 6 months taken a total of 500mcg iodine (4 tablets in 6 months) and have not used ANY iodized salt for 6 months. Just had a iodine test done and was 227 with top of the range being 230. It's fairly clear to me that my thyroid is not working properly and using the iodine in my body so whenever I took any supplement with iodine in, it came out through terrible acne in my shoulders. I thought I would post this here for others who have terrible shoulder acne as I have seen many threads on the matter, check your supplements and maybe look at your iodine levels as it may be the cause. I'm also interested in others here who are taking levothyroxine if you experience any side effects and if it helped with your energy levels and fatigue and also weight loss. I need to find a proper endocrinologist soon and hopefully start on levothyroxine. [/QUOTE]
