I have suffered from migraines now for almost 2 years. I go to a neurologist and he has me on medication.

After reading this forum, I’ve read that many member mention headaches and I’m starting to think maybe this is what is behind my migraines? Just a thought.. and would welcome any input.

I am on Naproxen 550mg per day. I run the risk of internal bleeding with this and I dont like it!

I had headaches/migraines for a while before I was diagnosed with GD. I used to think it was allergy related. Weeks before I was diagnosed I was having them almost every day. I haven’t had them as much since I started Methimazole. I hope that things continue that way because I used to get very sick from them.

thanx Carito. I have a feeling maybe they are related. I’m going to mention this to my neurologist next appointment.

You are welcome.

It won’t hurt to tell him. Who knows, maybe you will have the same experience as me

I think I remember reading that being hypOthyroid can cause headaches.

I first started getting migraines in my 20’s and my Graves’ didn’t hit until my mid 40’s. On one hand, I know that both migraines and autoimmune disorders run in my dad’s side of the family, so that would support the idea that they might be related. On the other hand, the fact that so many people have both Graves’ and migraines could just be a coincidence. Consider that both conditions happen to be more common in females. Also, both conditions seem to be related to stress. So maybe they’re not necessarily related, but they appear to be because they affect the same types of people: stressed out females.

BTW – A few months ago, when my GP found out how much Excederin I was taking, she put me on Topamax. It took a while (over a month) to see any improvement, but I’m definitely having less migraines now.
