graves disease headaches

We were told that Graves disease does not cause headaches. She had a MRI and it was normal. She has only been on the meds for about 3 weeks. These headaches are killing her. It breaks our hearts to see her like this. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/264121'>Normal TSH with hyperthyroid symptoms</a>.

I was just diagnosed with Graves Disease. I've been doing reasearch on the Internet and now I am TERRIFIED! Are my eyes going to bulge and my hair fall out? Does this happen to everyone with Graves Disease. I know this sounds vain, but fear is fear and this is all I can think about. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have been having really bad headaches always feeling light headed since january i have graves disease and they thought it could have been my thyroid causing the issue so i got it checked and my thyroid levels and everything are fine.my blood pressure started to be high in about march or april so they put me on blood pressure medicine and even when my levels are normal i still have horrible headaches and feel light headed all the time,does anyone have any advice.

From what you have described, this may be due to migraine type of headaches most commonly due to stressful situations or inadequate rest. Knowing your previous history of graves disease and previous radiation treatment, these symptoms may be a sign of going hypothyroid together with some electrolyte abnormalities. I suggest that you be referred to a specialist like a neurologist just to make sure. Other causes would include deficiencies in vitamins (especially vitamin B) or calcium.

Are there any links between graves disease (hyperthyroidism) which is currently medically under control and stress ? adrenalin episodes (palpitations, nausea, buzzing ears, headaches)?

Become an expert on the disease, or at least read everything you can about Graves and join message boards like this one. I know of one lady who has been on Tap 30 years!! She posts her liver profile and her numbers are normal.

graves disease will attack and organ. the first time I had graves disease it was attacking my heart making my heart beat faster. I was on medication for about 2 years. then it went into remission now it is back. graves disease could attack any organ , graves disease is your immune system attacks your organs not virus or bacteria.

"In conditions of chronic urticaria, thyroid antibodies are not only indicators of chronic inflammation, but they appear to play a role in the disease process. In most cases, improvement of urticaria with thyroxine replacement hormone suggests that chronic thyroid inflammation may initiate a hypersensitivity reaction and an underlying thyroid hormone deficiency. However, rarely, patients with chronic urticaria have undiagnosed conditions of Graves' disease.

Graves is an autoimmune disease and unfortunately for life. Controlling whether they raise or suppress is key to beating the symptoms of the disease. If you are on Levo now - your labs must be abnormal and now lean towards hypoT levels. You would feel like cr@p right now with the swinging patterns you have been on. "Once Graves.... always Graves" is the saying here. But I am positive your endo or ???

Hello, I had hyperthyroid a couple of years back and been treated with radio active iodine medication in september 2010. And looking at my swolen eyes the doctor said I have graves disease. Since november 2010 my thyroid conditions have changed and I now have hypothyroid. Ever since the transformation of thyroid levels I have gained almost like 20 pounds of weight. Along with that I was having swollen temples when the weather is cold, if i eat anything hard or if i get a bit excited.

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism & Graves disease 5 years ago, but am currently not treated for it. I had a large nodule biopsied 3 years ago (it had been growing) and it came back normal. My levels have not been terrible for the past few years, so there was no reason to treat. I am now having a medical issue that started 5/1/2012 with a very sudden onset, but my endocrinologist does not think it's related.

I have been going to an Endocrinologist for almost 1 year. He has done several ultrasounds showing that I have 5 tumors on my thyroid. I have a biopsy which showed they were benign. I recently had another ultrasound which showed one of the tumors had shrunk but another one appeared.

Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies to make sure you do, in fact, have Graves disease and are not simply in a hyper phase of Hashimoto's? Both Graves and Hashimoto's are autoimmune. While Graves is always connected with hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's is most often connected with hypothyroidism, however it's not uncommon for one to have periods of hyperthyroidism in the beginning stages. You should ask for thyroid antibody tests.

If you don't mind. I see you posts starts out as Graves Disease and you are looking for a surgeon? While I would have to do some checking around on this can you post the reason for the removal? - Is it for Graves disease?

Has your doctor told you, you have Graves Disease? Yes, your TSH is extremely low and your FT4 is extremely high, indicating that you are hyper, but your antibody tests indicate Hashimoto's. TSI is the definitive test for Graves Disease and I don't see that listed. Have you been put on antithyroid med?

I took him to the doc because I felt he had some similar symptoms to those I had when I had Graves Disease (headaches, short temper, protruding eyes, hungry but weight loss). He also has extensive vitiligo (about 85%body surface) which I know increases the risk of thyroid disease. The doc has said to repeat the TSH in a month or so - I'm just wondering if he ought to have any other thyroid screening at the same time, particularly as blood tests are fairly traumatic for him.

My bilirubin is always slightly high since my gallbladder was removed 4 years ago. I have Graves disease but have been euthyroid for over 4 months now, off medication for over 12 months. B12 has been low so I take supplements. Chiropractor xrays show my cervical spine is curved the wrong way and there's a slight bend in my thoracic spine, they think they can fix the headaches, I've been there twice so we will see later on.

What antibodies test was done? With your symptoms it seems like a test for Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI), to test for Graves' Disease, would have been in order.

Did I develop neutropenia from the Graves disease and how do I stop the neutropenia from getting worse? Also, what are some things that I should avoid as a result of my neutropenia? In addition, my heart rate ranges from 120-140 and I feel very tired and confused. Are these feelings a result of my heart rate? Thank you in advance.

I am glad I found this site, I found out today that I have graves disease, I also have a multinodular goiter and I had a thyroid scan and it showed a cold area, so I have to have a biopsy. I am so scared, I have never really been sick and now all of a sudden I get this. Has anyone had a biopsy on a nodule and how long does it take for the results to get back? Any help is greatly appreciated!
