@Wishful, do you find that iodine and T2 have the same effect, ou similar effects? I'm thinking about what I should expect when I try T2.

For me it's the same effect. A small drop of tincture of iodine has the same 'resetting' effect as 100 mcg of T2 (3-5 diiodothyronine). Taking both has no different effect, either for magnitude or duration, nor does taking more of either.

Supplemental T2 does act on the thyroid gland to reduce T4 production, so if you have thyroid dysfunction, it's possible that you might have a negative effect. I didn't notice any such effects.

I did discover that the T2 capsules did deteriorate after several years (the bottle wasn't sized for being taken once every 21 days). I was horrified that maybe T2 had stopped working for me, but iodine worked, so I looked at the date on the T2 bottle. May 2014 :rolleyes:

All too common with ME: finding things that you think are working, but either it was some other coincidental factor, or the treatment only had a short term effect.

@jtex were you taking iodine every day? For me, taking it daily made it stop working. One dose every 21 days continues to work for me. When I find something that seems to help, I worry that taking too much or taking it too often will make it stop working, so I try to find the minimal dosage and maximum delay between doses that works.
