    Go to the doctor. My doc just prescribed me actual migraine meds... something called Zomig & another one that was a generic version. They are like $25 per pill but he said they work within 60 minutes & he wants me to get off the Exceedrin Migraine stuff because there is so much caffeine in it.

    I wasn't thrilled with the price but had told him it can take anywhere from 2hrs to a whole day for my migraines to go away. He had me look at how much that actually costs me in time I lose by not really working... and yeah - $25 per pill is TOTALLY worth it!
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Have you looked into sleep apnea?

    Are the headaches generalized or localized? And if localized, where do you tend to feel them?

    you could look some things about "increased ICP" (intracranial pressure).

    Or better yet, I'll just copy this for you from medhelp.org:

    "a headache that is triggered by prolonged lying down, such as a morning headache, could be a sign of increased pressure in the brain (what is medically termed increased intracranial pressure or ICP). Such headaches typically improve after sitting or standing for some time. "

    "Another cause of morning headaches is muscular: poor sleeping position leading to tightness of neck muscles, which can then cause headache, what is termed cervicogenic headache (headache coming from the neck region).

    Other causes of morning headache are teeth grinding (medically called bruxism), which leads to irritation of the TMJ and pain particularly around the temples. "

    What position do you sleep in? Maybe you have low blood pressure or poor circulation, and your sleep positioning leads to a headache? Just a random idea.

    doctor says it'll be a couple weeks before i notice a difference, so i can't really say whether it has solved my problem of morning headaches.

    does any other part of your face hurt?

    hmm, if you clenched or grinded your teeth at night, you'd probably have some pan around your hairline.
    i don't know what to tell you, but i know morning headaches are no fun. waking up and feeling miserable right away is awful. sorry =(
