@mcmurf2 You're right, an over active thyroid causes weight loss, and losing 30 pounds is a lot to loose so fast. If it's under active, you can gain weight. My doctor describes this as having gas in your tank. If you don't have much, you can't go very fast, but if you have a lot, you'll go too fast. It's controlling your metabolism and that affects everything in your body.
