A member asked:

Im two weeks post full thyroid removal. i am a migraine sufferer. i have now started synthroid (thyroxine) since then my headaches are worse and i am achy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs synthroid (thyroxine): Due to full thyroid removal your body is not producing any thyroid which your body needs. Hence it is supplemented with medications like Synthroid (thyroxine). The dose you need will be determined by the follow up blood tests. you will need to have your headaches treated at the same time. Please follow up with the physician who was treating your headaches and get the proper treatment for this also.
