Biotin and headaches

in Growing out
Hello! :wave:
For those of you who have tried Biotin and then had to wind up "abandoning ship" (so to speak) from horrid and painful, migraine-like headaches, how soon after you started taking Biotin did you feel the massive discomfort of the headache? Was it right away or were you on it for a few days, weeks, months before the headache hit in all its splendor?
I've been taking a hair vitamin supplement with Biotin in it for 9 days today. I got what I thought was the beginnings of a sinus headache last night and I took my sinus medicine hoping it would be gone by morning. NOT! Today it's been off and on all day. It has lessened in intensity but I still feel this dull ache on my right temple that will not completely go away. I've been continuing to take my sinus medicine and it doesn't seem to be working. It then occurred to me that maybe the Biotin in the supplements I'm taking could be causing the headache? My sinus medicine has usually kicked in by now to knock the headache out. Now it's going on 24 hours since this headache started and it's annoying as well as painful. :crybaby:
Anyhoo, anyone who has experience with this, please jump in. Thanks!

The smaller the pill the best. The larger biotin pills are filled with unnecessary "proprietary" formula that causes skin to itch etc.
I have a 7500 mcg pill that is very tiny and I also have a brand that's a huge horse pill and only 5000 mcg.
I take the very tiny 7500 one I assume the majority of the pill is made up actual biotin.
It turned out that it WAS a sinus headache; the pain had nothing to do with the biotin. Every now and then I get a really bad sinus headache that drags on and on and would probably rival anybody's migraine headache in pain intensity. That's the way it's always been for me and probably always will be...
Anyhoo, my sinus meds finally kicked in and it's been smooth sailing since.

Now that my thyroid levels are normal, I've noticed an increase in density, but I also started massagging my scalp.
I also get migraine headaches and have not noticed a difference between when I'm taking biotin and when I'm not.
Your headache does not sound like a sinus headache. Those don't usually last for days. A decongestant clears that up fairly quickly. It sounds exactly like my tension headaches. The ones I get start at my temples and can last for days in a dull ache. They also bounce around my head and all I can do is wait it out.
Anyway, guys, just be safe taking the supplements. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
