Interesting. I've been on 400mcg iodine a day for a long time (1-2 years), but recently decided to up it. I'm in the 1-2mg range now.
My last TSH test came in higher than normal, I wonder if possibly the long term use supressed my thyroid, raised TSH, then increased iodine supressed TSH again = I feel good on it.
Maybe I need to get off of it and on dessicated thyroid instead.
