Missy, just looked quickly and found this
https://www.thyroid.org/iodine-deficiency/
Seems like a reliable site and might have some other good info for you.
Doing a little more reading - seems unusual to have low ferritin with normal iron levels - might be best to ask the doctor about this at your next appointment.
Thanks Junie! As soon as I get home I will explore further but read your link and it also seems that if one has nodules and/or autoimmune thyroid issues one has to be careful with Iodine Supplementation. OMG darned if I do and darned if I don't.
I appreciate you taking the time and finding me the link. I am making a list of questions for my endocrinologist and I guess I will see if he can offer any insight. The ferritin issue has been ongoing and my dermatologist has no advice but to take a multivitamin. And he isn't sure how to get my ferritin levels up. But I read with hair loss you want the ferritin to be around 80. Mine is 20.
