Oh, yes, I can relate.  I *used* to suffer from them 2-3 times weekly.  For
me, the answer came via a side-effect of blood pressure medication
(atenolol).  As soon as I started to take it, the headaches were virtually
gone.  Since then, even though my BP is well within normal limits (weight
loss and paleo) I continue to take a mini-dose that keeps the headaches at
bay but has no measurable effect on my BP.  Paleo or not, this has given me
back many hours of my life that were previously wasted sitting in a cold dark
room praying for sleep!
