Reddit reviews Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism

I had 'CFS' a couple of years ago, and it cleared up immediately with tiny amounts of desiccated thyroid. I'm now taking quite a large amount of desiccated thyroid and thyroxine, but I'm in apparently perfect health. (Full time job, cricket both days of the weekend). No symptoms of thyrotoxicosis at all.

Even my GP agrees that I seem to be fine, although he's worried by my 0 TSH and high Free T4, but every time I try to drop the dose the lethargy, depression, aching muscles etc come back.

Could you tell me what you think of Gordon Skinner's 'Diagnosis and Management of Hypothyroidism'? It's aimed at doctors but very light-hearted in a terribly serious way. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Diagnosis-Management-Hypothyroidism-Gordon-R-B-Skinner/0954774515/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502359925&sr=8-1&keywords=skinner+diagnosis+and+management)

Skinner reckoned that you could have the symptoms of hypothyroidism without having funny blood hormone levels, and that this condition would respond to thyroxine. He published an open trial with stunning results, which has sunk without trace. There was an attempt at a PCRT by some brave Scottish GPs, but they buggered it up and got no effect.

He is far from being the only person to claim this. I originally came upon and tried the idea through John Lowe treating Fibromyalgia with T3, but there are many others. (https://www.amazon.com/Metabolic-Treatment-Fibromyalgia-John-Lowe/dp/0914609025) Despite being a chiropractor, John Lowe seems to have been the most careful and thoughtful of all the people who've ever looked into this, and he also published papers, but all in bloody chiropractor magazines that I can't find.

In fact it looks to me as though the balance of the evidence in the medical literature is in favour of the idea.

I actually made a subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/thethyroidmadness/ to post evidence and arguments to, but no-one's interested, so it's just a list of most of the things I found.
