Sounds like a migraine, not just a headache. Caffeine can actually cause rebound headaches and worsen your case. Everyone thinks caffeine makes migraines go away, but in the end they make them worse. The first think a neurologist will suggest is to cut caffeine out of your diet.

Things to try:

(these are preventative, you take them every day, not just when the migraine hits)

Feverfew
Butterbur
magnesium
Vitamin B2

You could also ask your doctor for an abortive pill, like Immitrex or Maxalt. When they hit, a dark room and an ice pack is probably the only thing you can do to relieve it if you don't have an abortive. Hope you figure it out. I've been suffering from chronic migraines (20-15 a month) for years. It sucks. I had to resort to getting a million shots of botox all over my head and neck every three months to make them go away. :indifferent:

I have a nice collection of prescription painkillers from my many trips to AnE, they normally sort me out.

It is not only a bad idea, but illegal to take Rx meds for something they weren't prescribed for. Talk to a doctor before taking pills. Learn from Heath Ledger.

I don't get headaches with TOM but just super light headed.
I found my cure in liquid iron and massive amounts of water.
One major cause of headaches is actually dehydration and minor dehydration is super common with TOM, wouldn't hurt to try seeing if drinking more helps.
