Now I am the other way with Graves' Disease for 15+ years and treating with using a very wee dose of Methimazole to keep my thyroid levels Free Ts as stabled as possible.
Panic attacks might mean that the thyroid levels of the Free T3 and the Free T4 are not in the right places for one to feel their best there at,
