If Ibuprofen doesn't relieve your headache, I don't know what what else to suggest in the way of an over the counter pain killer. One thing I have found is information from a number of sources indicating that low ferritin/iron will cause headaches. Have you ever had ferritin checked?
Yes, but my headache is not migraine. It's unknown causes. I don't know exactly why I have this strange headache. So, I'm looking for stronge pain killer.
You wouldn't be getting nearly enough magnesium from vitamins and minerals. If you want to try magnesium, I suggest 400 mg per day of magnesium glycinate, or the equivalent, but not magnesium oxide.
Thanks Ibuprofen not works well for me. I already used many types of pain killers. So, I need something very strong.
I used multi vitamins and minerals that contain Mg but not works for me.
I don't know the exact cause for my headache.

I find that Ibuprofen works well for me. There are, however, many different types of headaches and causes for them. If yours are like migraine headaches, you might find this useful. "Migraine often occurs as a result of low brain levels of magnesium. One clinical trial found that supplementing with magnesium caused the complete elimination of migraine pain within 15 minutes in 80% of migraine sufferers."
Might be worth a trial.

I need good advice please:
What is best pain killer for me (for my headache)?
I tried many many pain killers but no benefits, So do you have good advice for me? .

Just because your thyroid test results fall within the so-called "normal" range does not mean that is adequate for you. The ranges are too broad. As a start, please post your test results and their reference ranges shown on the lab report.
I think you should have "dismissed" your Endo earlier, rather than the other way around. LOL

Again...help!!! I've been tested for everything possible and all is normal. I have nodules. I have 2 Aunts and 3 neices that have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism (one neice with Hashimoto's and one neice with thyroid cancer leading to a thyroidectomy). My TSH stays around .03 to .08 and normal T3 and T4. My endo finally (after five years of testing and no medications) said I have "euthyroid sick syndrome" and basically "dismissed me", immedicately after I lost my job and my health insurance. I have developed anxiety from depression (I control it with deep breathing and medication) over my significant weight gain and inability to control it (weight gain). Basicallly, I am experiencing hypothyroid symptoms (all of them), but my TSH stays around .03 to .08.
My personal and professional life are decompensating rapidly and I'm exhausted from searching for an explanation. I am otherwise healthy (53 year old, white female). I can't deal with the weight gain and don't know what to do. My BMI has gone from 24 to 32 since the nodules appeared. Every time I attempt to reduce my weight through diet or exercise I actually gain weight...unbelievable. This is ruining my life...Please help.

There are many reasons for vitamin D deficiency. The most common is not enough UVB rays from the sun. A very large or obese body is another cause as a larger body requires more vitamin D.
The vitamin D range depends on the lab but it is recommended to aim for a minimum of 50ng/mL (125nmol/L). Correcting a deficiency can take some time however. Just to add, magnesium is the most important co factor for vitamin D absorption.

Thanks for reply.
Why?
What is the normal range?
How can I increase my Vitamin D in short period? I take meds but I have to return it to the normal level before next blood test.

This is not surprising. What would be surprising if someone had their vitamin D tested and it was optimal. :)
I did many blood tests lately.
Today I met the drs, he told me that I have Vitamin D deficiency. It was too law. It was surprise for me.
He gave me a supplement twice weekly.

Also. As stated before. If you have other symptoms of low (Hypo) thyroid. many people do not feel well until their FT4 levels are MIDDLE of the range or above. AND FT3 levels in upper 1/3 of the range.
Your FT4 tested of 1.08 and middle of the range is 1.27. So there is some potential room for improvement there.
And as you were not tested for FT3 which is the ONLY hormone molecule your body actually uses. You have no idea.
You might want to simply ask your Dr. "since the human body's cells ONLY use the free T3 hormone molecule, why wouldn't it makes sense to test for the ONLY thing the body uses?" Tell him that it is not terribly uncommon for people to have conversion problems in converting T4 into T3. And there would be no way to know if you have this condition unless you test for FT3.
To suspect a conversion problem. You compare the relative position of FT3 to the position of FT4. That is if the FT4 is mid range. The FT3 should be ABOVE mid range. That is the FT3 should always be higher than the FT4. If it about the same or even lower, then you may have a conversion problem. In which case you may have to add a T3 medicine to make up for the conversion efficiency loss.
But again without checking FT3 there is no way you really know what the heck is going on!

I think I'll stop meet any doctor or do more tests. I don't able to do anything more. That's it.
Thank you for all help.
Thank you for all help.
An excerpt below from Life Extension Magazine October 2010 article - Low Testosterone Promotes Abdominal Obesity in Aging Men:
"Abundant evidence developed over the past few years now shows that, while obesity does cause low testosterone, low testosterone causes obesity. Indeed, low testosterone levels may be among the earliest detectable signs that a man is undergoing the bodily changes that will later become apparent as obesity and the metabolic syndrome."

Hello,
How are you all of you?
Finally, I recive my new lab test results.
Endocrinologist said " everything is normal, nothing explain my obesity"
I don't have a copy for all my lab results because they does not have copy machine. So, I ask the doc write the most important result.
Testestrone: 4 (hepo) ref. range 9.9-27
Prolactine: 34 (hyper) ref. range 6.2- 28
Cholestrol: 202 (little hyper)
but the doc said "it was normal for obese people".
Thyroid results:
TSH: 2.31 ref. range (0.27 - 5)
FT4: 1.08 ref.range (0.83 - 1.71)
They didn't do FT3 because FT4 result is within normal range
Your opinion?

hhhh
May be because that's what I'm doing here. I'm looking for answers explain why I have all these symptoms & proplems. Why I'm so suffering but drs cannot help me or never care or all my tests results were usually normal? So, finally I have answers becuase you & other members (like flyingfool, red_star ....etc) helps. So, this is really good progresses. And thank you for all your help. Now, just I need start medication &complet necessary tests to have complet diagnosis & curative. Today, I send my symptoms &all studies, & tests result to new dr. I use your letter also. I hope he'll take it seriously.

Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Beyond that you need to do what I suggested above.
"Another thing to be aware of is that your description of varying symptoms suggests possibilities that should be further tested. I would suggest that you get tested for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, by testing for the thyroid antibodies, TPO ab and TG ab. Also, just to be sure, might be good to test for Grave's Disease, by running a TSI test. The other thing to consider would be to get an ultrasound test on your thyroid glands to determine if you have any nodules."
Another thing that comes to mind is a 24 hour urine cortisol test to assess adrenal function. Many hypo patients also find that they are deficient in areas of Vitamin A, D, B12, zinc, iron, selenium, RBC magnesium.
Please let us know how all this proceeds and how you are feeling.
