Hello,

I was diagnosed three years ago and have been in remission for about one year.

I have had a headache for months. Has anyone else's Graves Disease caused a never ending headache?

I had a blood test today and I am waiting for the results.

Your labs may explain the headache.

Hello,

Yes, it was actually that never ending headache which led me to my physician and ultimately the Graves diagnosis.
I was very hyper at that time but didn't know anything about GD. Nearly immediately after starting ATDs, the headaches stopped.

I had a headache for about two months straight, in the summer of '09. I went to a clinic and they said I was sleeping funny, gave me pain meds (which I tried once and didn't take any more of), and nothng changed. For two months I would fall asleep and wake up with this constant headache!!!

I was officially diagnosed with Graves in Dec '09... at least it wasn't a blot clot or a tumor! :)

After the headache finally went away, is when I started experiencing the severe hyper symptoms...

Good luck xox
