I've seen it several places, but don't have the time to look it up right 
now.

I believe if one does have adequate T3, they can still have too much rT3 and 
this still makes things unpleasant.

High cortisol can cause high rT3.

Taking Sythroid or even Armour, in some people will make T3 adequate, but 
will make rT3 uncomfortably high so they won't feel well.

Which is why some hypos never feel good on a product with T4 in it.
