THYROID DISORDERS COMMUNITY
headache

headache

  I was diagnosed many years ago with Graves.  After several rounds of medication with no response I took RAI, but had to continue taking medication to subdue the thyroid.  I am now hypo and take Synthroid.  The legacy of the disease is a protruding right eye and continual headaches on the right side especially when low fronts are moving in.  The headaches developed at the same time as the eye problem and seem to be related.  I have been prescribed Indocin for the headaches, but it is not effective.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd like to see where your blood levels are at/ That may help alot - I too had a similiar history of yours.

TSH - Free T3 and Free T4 test to start would be great to see.

All blood levels are within normal limits and have been for years.   Synthroid seems to be working fine, but the headaches continue on an almost daily basis.
