I appreciate the information. I was tested for so many things back when I started losing even more weight. One of them was my thyroid. My anxiety may have played a part but no matter what I ate I kept losing. Now I think I am maintaining but our scale broke a couple of weeks ago. I was also having issues with other things so I had a CT of most of my major organs and they just found kidney stones. I also had some kind of test where they checked my bladder with a scope because I kept dehydrating.

Yes, if you are hyperthyroid then there should normally be weight loss. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 6 years ago, and that's when I first found out that one of the symptoms was hoarseness and sore throats. But, since obviously there can be so many different causes of both those symptoms, not to mention how common they are, I always thought it was allergies as well. (I suffer from them year-round). When was the last time you had your thyroid checked; not just with a physical examination, but with a lab draw?

Oh, and also, do you know if it was a cystoscopy that they did on your bladder, and was it done by a Urologist or a Urogynocologist? Did the scope find anything?
