How long does it take for the thyroid to recover from excessive iodine intake?
Assuming the thyroid functioned properly before, how long would it take ones thyroid to recover from sub-clinical hypothyroidism caused by excessive iodine supplementation? Do birth control pills exacerbate the condition?

TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but would not matter if antibodies are present. Indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis…main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (…OR Graves Disease – HypERthyroid).
WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.
