Hypothyroidism and migraine

I thought this might be of interest to someone here.

"This is the first study that reports the comorbidity between the two conditions" (via Coalition for Better Thyroid Care on Facebook):

My hypothyroidism was diagnosed following a visual migraine that they first thought was a TIA.

I had a headache around lunch time. My bad heads often become or are migranes. 2 slugs of grip water (weird taste). Realised at tea time that the headache had been gone for some hours and had not turned really nasty. Thankyou Meki I will continue to use and observe.

Slight headache now after lots of computer work and telephone calls so shall have another slug before bed.

Hi all, this is a revelation! My migraines started about a year after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, about 12 years ago, and I have never connected the two before. I now take sumatriptan for the headaches and they work a treat. As many others on this forum have mentioned, thyroxine helps but has never completely made me feel "normal". I will be looking into getting alternative medication from my GP, if he or she will prescribe it, which seems unlikely, but I will inquire just in case.
