bloodshot eyes..and severe headache..post tx

[ponyshel]

Hello all...I am now post tx almost 5 weeks and I noticed yesterday that my eyes are so bloodshot and hurt...plus I keep getting really bad headaches....
I stopped my thyroid meds to see if it jump starts back....could this be a culprit?
I also noticed insomnia...i take ambien cr but to no avail i still am up alot..hence maybe the bloodshot eyes???
hope all is well with txers and post txers...
my appetite is weaning but food is starting to taste better...hugs to all :) shelly
p.s. I want to have a drink so bad to celebrate but I won't take the chance....almost 3 years now no alcohol....still have desire to tie one on but stronger then that to give in to it....UGH !!!!!

I had a couple of doozies during and after TX... Hang in there babe.

My eyes ALWAYS get bloodshot with migranes. I take a prescription migrane reliever - go ask your doc for a temporary rx for one... Take it at the first sign of the pain.

Could be thyroid related - could be anything --- but I HATE PAIN... I am a weenie when it comes to pain --- super sensitive.

Hugs darlin' and keep hanging in there.

I can say the headaches are bad. My recent bloodwork came back and my tyhroid is stuck @ 0.01 and they have adjusted the meds 3 times...last I was breaking 100mcg into 4 pieces...per dr order..its hard to get the exact amount that way...so he thinks  I was taking about 35mcg? for a month  give or take  and he wanted me to stop for 4 weeks to see if my reading comes up...is that not normal?? I am switching drs for this but I wonder if I should wait until next bloodwork?

I am sorry you are having these issues after tx.  Can't remember if my eyes were bloodshot.  I did get headaches alot and bad ones.  They did go away, it took a little while though.  Did you stop the thyroid meds or did your doctor take you off.  I don't think you should stop the thyroid meds.  Once your thyroids are wigged out they stay that way.  The meds keep them under control.

Good Luck,
