Can taking thyroxin hormone have an effect in terms of increasing the migraine auras, alter pattern
I have a migraine from I was 7 years old and now I am 26. I was experiencing visual auras before the onset of headache. Then the headache was coming and finally the vomitting was the outcome. Then the pattern has changed so that I started to get auras and headache seperately ,not necessarily together although sometimes they occur together. For the last 3 years, the auras get really increased so that everday I have auras (visual flashing lights), sometimes accompanied with the headache. I was also diagnosed with HYPOTHYROIDISM for more than 2 years so that I started to take tyroxin hormone everday for more than two years. (Thyroid stimulan hormone value TSH was 200 but now it became to a value in the normal range). But the problem is, also for these two years the ı experience auras more frequently (everday), in addition to TINGLING in my face , foots, legs, arms at the same time with visual auras. Moreover, I also started to have pain in my legs, arms with weakness and also general dizziness.
I tried to take Depakine, topiramate, seroquel, lamictal, laroxyl, cymbalta. However I could not take some of these medications for more than 1 week or two week due to their side affects because I realy can not understand what I read with these drugs and I am a student so that I have to.
So I wonder what I can do now, do you think taking thyroxin hormone can have an effect in terms of increasing the migraine auras or change its pattern. Because the intensive period of auras and migraine clashes with time of taking throxin tablets.(Because, for two years, I take them and my migraine auras came everyday for two years, before I take thyroxin it was not like that).
I am really looking forward to have your response as soon as possible..
Sincerely,
Regards,
