Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I get the same type of headache too Lynda Headaches Hi EveryOne, This morning I woke up with a terrible headache. In the past few months I have had one of these headaches about once a week or once every two weeks. Always when I wake up from sleep. They last for a few hours after I get up and then they are gone. I have noticed on the temperature chart I have been keeping for the past month that there is usually a noticeable dip in my temperature on the days I wake up with the headache. They hurt the most when I bend down to reach for something on the ground, or as I said, lying in bed. They are not in the back of my head but more to the top and behind the eyes. Prior to this time, I have hardly had any headaches in my entire life. Is there a connection between hypothyroid and headaches? Could it be adrenals? Anyone else have this or know about it? Thanks, Bev ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I used to have chronic headaches... since the multi-dosing of thyroid and adding the adrenal.... no more headaches... Want to try an experiment? Next time you wake with one... grab a bath towel... fold it into quarters the long way, so it's scarf like.... and wear it around the back of your neck, like a scarf...... See if the pain goes away sooner..... You're aiming toward warming and relaxing the muscles in your neck and shoulders.... Move around normally... but with the gentle warmth....

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I had raised myself up to 3 grains of armour and started having headeaches that lasted 3 weeks til I lowered my armour back down to 2 grains. I am thinking that it is adrenals that is causing the headaches. I will get the results of my saliva test this week and will know for sure then. The reason I think it is adrenals is that when one started around 3am I took one Isocort and it went away. I have had headaches all my life and use to think they were sinus headaches too. But I had a physician tell me once that if the headache didn't go away with taking a decongestant then it probably was not a sinus headache.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi Bev, That sure sounds sinus related to me. I was always told that sinus/congestion/infections all go along with hypo. And I had them terribly. They would always go into sinus migraines. Since I " ve been on my adrenal support...NO headaches at all. It's weird. If the adrenal support helps with that I'll never go off of it. I have no iron clad proof other than myself. Are you on adrenal support? I can't wait to get my Isocort....trying it for the first time...watching for the UPS man patiently...well not really LOL Hugs, PattiSue Headaches Hi EveryOne, This morning I woke up with a terrible headache.
