Hello,
I can understand your concern regarding to your mother's health.
The hormonal level you reported is suggestive for an over dosage of eltroxin.
In these cases is very important to exclude other causes of the weight loss, before attributing it to the eltroxine dose.
The body reaction to hyperthyroidism is individual, but usually in these levels, the thyroid hormones do not cause such a great weight loss.
That is why i suggest to exclude other causes.
For a personalised comprehensive evaluation, treatment recommendations, or individual therapy, ask me at HealthCareMagic at this private link: HCM Dr. Guni
