Well, my headache seems a bit better today so far, I have a bit of pain but not as much but it feels like the headache is just lurking around the corner, if that makes sense. I have had episodes of headache today but not for long. I still feel nauseous and tired though but hopeful that maybe things might start improving now.

I tried Sky's suggestion of neck massage several times but it didn't work. Having a hot shower made no difference either - the headache continued during and for hours after the shower. Possibly ibuprofen might make a difference, I'm not sure. Last time I took it I had the headache for 2hrs after I took the tablets but then the headache went but I'm not sure if the ibuprofen made any difference, so I'm going to try it again today. Paracetamol didn't have any effect and I don't want to try aspirin.

Zorah, why should I get thyroid levels checked? Can it be done just in the surgery?
