Could you explain again about thyroid trouble?
I thought you said it made women put on weight. But I have just LOST three stone, which is much more than I wanted. The doctor says it's my thyroid which is to blame. Help!
IT'S quite simple, ma'am. An under-active thyroid gland makes you gain weight. An OVER-active thyroid makes you lose it. So you've got an over-active gland, and they'll probably be giving you treatment to calm it down. Almost certainly, this will work.
