Meant to ask you to post your thyroid related test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.  Also, what other symptoms do you have?

The following is just one section from a long list of symptoms that can be related to hypothyroidism.

Pain:

    Migraines
    Chronic headaches

hi, is that real? the hypothyroid will cause the tension headache? I did a blood count, thyroxin was really low.

Hi, when you say 'regulated' do you mean that you are on thyroid medication? I am waiting to start my meds so am curious if they will help with the headaches - be great if they did!!

I used to get headaches almost everyday and they would last minimum 16 hours, now that I am regulated I dont have them anymore. :)

Yes - in a word.
At least 2 a week. I take an over the counter med called 'syndol' which has paracetamol, codeine, plus a muscle relaxant.  I am in the uk so don't know what an equivalent one in the us would be.  I take it at night as the codeine in it knocks me out during the day but it means I get a good night's sleep and usually the headache is gone in the morning.
Are you on any meds?  Perhaps that may be causing headaches?  Do you have other allergies?  
Hope you get some relief.
