She should not be recommending Iodine unless she's first tested to make sure that you don't have autoimmune thyroid disease as Iodine won't help at all with that and that is the most common cause of thyroid symtpoms. You might want to join the Texas Thyroid Yahoo group:

and get more info on this issue. There are some people that do okay by adding the iodine, but they're in the minority. And, I do okay now with a multi-vitamin with Iodine now that I have adequate thyroid hormone. Before that though, the Iodine made me feel better for a bit and then I crashed bigtime. If you have Fibromyalgia, then you know what that means and it's not pretty and takes a while to recover. It's also a mistake to think of the thyroid prescription as a medicine - it's really replacing something your body is not making and not just treating a symptom. If she's checking your thyroid, make sure that along with TSH, she tests the Free T3, Free T4 and thyroid antibodies (TPO and anti-thyroid antibodies). There's also a good list of doctors on the Texas Thyroid website and actually very few in the DFW area that are worth your time - you'll spend months (even years) and not feel any better.
