Can treating hypothyroidism with medicine get rid of the headache sympotm?

I have early stages of hypothyroidism... I also have chronic daily headaches that we think it's related to the thyroid levels- but there are many other reason's for my headaches so it's complicated. Anyways does anyone else have this combination of problems (hypothyroidism and headaches) AND does taking the thyroid medicine help the headaches???

Yes. But you need a good doctor that knows what s/he is doing. Read this book http://www.amazon.com/Living-Well-Hypoth...
It is abundant with important and useful information that will explain how to handle the symptoms of thyroid disease. Many doctors don't (usually because they don't know about it) adjust the medicine to help eliminate all the symptoms, so you have to find a doctor that is knowledgeable of how to do so.

I wish you the best of luck!

Yes, headaches can be related to hypothyroidism. I didn't get rid of them until I switched to Armour thyroid and got the free t4 midrange and the free t3 high in range.
