"my thyroid level is .532".  Is that for TSH?  If so, that's not a thyroid level, that's a pituitary hormone that tells the thyroid to produce more hormones.

Are you supplementing the vitamin D?  That deficiency could also cause you to have headaches.

You should insist on getting the Free T3 and Free T4 tested, since those are the actual thyroid hormones.

Headaches can be a symptom of hyperthyroidism.  What dosage of levo are you on and how long have you been on it?

What are your latest thyroid levels?  You should be getting tested for Free T3, Free T4 and TSH on a regular basis.  Please post whatever results you have and be sure to include reference ranges, which vary lab to lab and must come from your own report.
