This very well looks like my AF thread, but I wanted to keep things organized so I'm starting a new thread.
1. Has anyone with a Dx of thyroid resistance been successfully treated ?
My goal isn't for some people to get offended at my quesitoning such Dx, but at some points there needs to be a reality check such things, in order to find out whether we're chasing a ghost/theories. When someone has suffered for years (me and others on this board), the last thing you want is to waste some of your precious time racking your brains about something which doesn't get much press. However, I do not mean to say that not getting much press means there's no such thing. What I'm saying is let's look at the research and how relevant they are.
Nothing is simple about health, as it gets intertwined in politics and finance most of the time. If something proved to be underlying many conditions for which there are pharmaceutical companies producing high yield agents, chances are said pharmaceutical companies wouldn't want people to know about true etiology of their symptoms/syndrome. Money rules this world, this is why I hold this view. Some people would go the extra mile to make a few bucks, and we all know big pharma is making way more than a few mass producing their pharmaceutical therapeutic agents. I'm not one to trust people's integrity that easily when there's money involved.
I'll look for some basic facts about thyroid resistance and post them later on to get this started.

It's said that thyroid hormone resistance is rare.
What is it that qualifies/quantifie one for a thyroid hormone Dx ? We need to look at thyroid hormones and numbers.
