What Causes Fatigue And Joint Pain After Discontinuing Iodine Tablets?

I am 28 yr old female. Last year in my blood test my GP found that I have thyroid antibodies in my blood. He said in future I d suffer from hypothyroid.He put me in iodine tablets. I have took those for one year approx. Then in other blood test everything was fine. In the mean time I had a baby too. She is 10 months old now. I stopped the intake of iodine after the delivery of my baby. I was noticing that I can t loose my weight and mummy tummy. My skin is dry, face is totally dull and patchy. Hair are getting worse.From last week , I am excessively tired, having joint pains and from last two days too sharp headaches. Are these the symptoms of hypothyroid ? Am I really suffering from that? Please suggest me something what should I do now ? I am really very worried . Should I have to take the hypothyroid medicine for whole life?

hi,

as you mentioned about the deficiency of iodine and now you delivered a baby girl. For a baby girl congrats for it.

usually after delivery there is a change in bodys hormonal levels. for which you shouldn't be panic. may be you need little general body exercises to maintian the metabolism of the body. Since from 9 months due to the pregnancy you had a high physiological process and now post delivery your physiological metabolism needs little regulation. Also I am sure you are eating healthy diet and for the absorption of what you consume needs the metabolism to be proper tunned.

I personally feel with exercises your symptoms will come down and you will have healthy motherhood.

I have seen many female coming to me complaining the same, I put them on exercises and within 3 months of time 99% recovery is attained.

with the grace of God I wish you a good health.
