Take iodine, prefer in Kelp (standardised, non -radioactive ) or potassium iodide (not as good ) form.
Start slow, a 200-500 mcg/d. Give body a few weeks to adapt. Go slow.
3..combine with sources of esp. Se, Mg, Fe, Zn, P, Ca. If you can do it, do blood test measures first. Aim for upper bound or last quartile of healthy range as minimum, not lab test range average.
Go slowly up towards 10 000 - 15 000 mcg/d stepwise, always giving body time to adjust to new dose and ensuring other minerals.
If you feel like shit, take a break and FULLY test your whole thyroid panel , T3, fT3, rT3,T4, fT4, TSh, TPOAb, TgAb, TrAb, TSHab and I/Se/Mg levels (pref intracelllular, not plasma for the minerals). If your Doc says you don't need these, tell him to fuck himself and get one who fully understands all range of thyroid issues.
If you have antibodies, treat the autoimmune disease first (with specific food avoidance diet for life, get wide ranging ELISA panel for clues).
If no autoimmune , check for functioning of Pituitary (again full functional panel with Abs).
If pituitary ok, then check hypothalamus. Same routine.
If all ok, check tissue iodine saturation If saturated , just try to find your personal safe maintenance daily intake level where you feel good.
If not saturated, if all above OK and taking Iodine makes you still feel bad, check ALL critical mineral levels (esp..RBC intracellular). Do Not be happy of "low normal" or "average", those are normalised results of a Sick population ..aim for upper range.
If all above ok and not saturated and still feel bad ln iodine, then take even smaller amounta at a time , always with whole food.AND try different forms (esp. Seafood and kelp as standardised to certain mcg/pill ).
The above just saved you few years of reading, distilling, analysing , testing and trialling on hundreds of people . Yreat it accordingly.
especially those trace minerals.
