You question was what does the thyroid
gland do. First of all it is the main fire
in you body. I keeps everything in
balance. People with over active thyroid
tend to be very hipper actvice and under
active people tend to be drained of
streangh and can be overweight. You
thyroid is the center of all you being. I
have had thyroid desease since 1981 was
treat for over active and then after
treatment wound up going under active and
have been on medication to up the level
since. It is located just under your vocal
cords and there are two glands. I now only
have one. Case in point, it must be
regulated on a regular basis by blood
work. Then they can tell if you meds need
to be increased or decreased.

Thyroid is one thing (and Carrie described
it well), triglyceride levels are a
totally different thing (amount of fat in
your bloodstream, which you would need to
fix through dietary changes) and panic
attacks are a totally different thing!
Which are you interested in?

well, actually the only reason I said
anything was because you posted the
question in the panic attacks forum, not
the thyroid one!
