Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Hi Kathy, I, too, had a terrible headache while hypo. I think it started about week 4 or 5. Didn't go away till a couple days after ablation dose. Didn't find anything to help it either. Sorry, can't be much help except to say you're not alone. lindalee@... dx 12-96 follicular w/ bone mets 4 RAI= 840mCi 300mcg Synthroid HPTH Pgh., Pa Kassiryn@... wrote: > Hi, all, > I'm hypo right now waiting for a scan.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Hi Kathy, I too had bad headaches during " hypo hell " . They started to lessen daily after I restarted my synthroid. Nothing really worked to take them away. Rest, Rest, Rest was the best antidote for me.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 I too have had excrutiating headaches while hypo. The only thing that worked formewhen my TSH got really high was to take 800mg of ibuprofin. Since that'sa prescription strength dose check with your doc first. Peace, Love and all that Hippie Stuff!
