Dry or itchy skin
Reduced initiative, mental confusion, poor memory

Muscle cramps at rest
Compromised immunity

Low thyroid function is common due to the follow:

US RDA for iodine = 150mcg. The average intake in Japan is 13.8 grams. Japan has lower incidences of breast cancer, hypothyroid and feminizing cancers.
Women share their iodine with thyroid, breasts and ovaries.
Iodine deficiency is the main predisposing factor for breast and fibrocystic disease
Prior to 1960, iodine was in bread, which increased iodine intake 4x RDA. Before 1960 breast cancer had a ratio of 1:20. After 1960 breast cancer had a ratio of 1:8
Competitive inhibition of iodine with halogen compounds, chlorine, fluoride, and bromide
Exposure to red dye #3
Antidepressants, dopamine, lithium, glucocorticoids & tegretol
Fear of iodine

Many thyroid issues may be due to poor sugar handling and or adrenal stress.
Testing for thyroid, insulin resistance and adrenal stress can be assessed through blood, urine and saliva.
