Migraine from levo? Also, Endo for Mom's Hashimoto's and digestive issues.

Second day on levo and horrid migraine. Is it a coincidence or could it be from levo? If from levo, any suggestions to help?

Also, Mom was just diagnosed with Hashi's as well and has been having cycles of digestive issues, mainly diarrhoea, since I can remember and I'm 37. Could the cyclical bouts of diarrhoea be from undiagnosed and untreated Hashi's? She is in Quinton, any good endos nearby?

Misschell24,

Some people do feel unwell when they first start Levothyroxine but adverse effects usually clear within a week or two.

I found diarrhoea resolved once I was optimally medicated. Email louise.roberts@thyroiduk.org.uk for a list of member recommended endos.

I will try to keep on it then. I get frequent migraines, so wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence. Hopefully my mom's digestive issues will clear up once she's getting treatment. I've emailed Louise. Thank you!

Misscshell24,

If you had migraines prior to starting Levothyroxine it's nothing to do with Levothyroxine.
