Charlie mentioned http://www.raypeatforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=1103 this interesting article http://toopoopedtoparticipate.com/blog/dr-john-c-lowe-speaks/
The author, Dr John Lowe, believes he himself suffered not from the usual hypothyroidism but from "thyroid hormone resistance" aka "type 2 hypothyroidism". The condition seems more rare, but it even has an entry on Wikipedia.
The author claims it can be solved by taking a much greater dose of T3. This is different from the "reverse T3" condition and protocols found online. I don't think RP ever mentions this type of resistance, because he suggests small physiological doses of T3, which would be impossible with 150mcg T3 daily.
For all those who don't seem to respond to thyroid supp, it would be good to find an appropriate test one could do to see if one has the above. Need to know how to divide that 150mcg T3 dose, if one needs to build up to that dose in a certain fashion etc.
