    I've suffered from them for about 10 years now, usually once every month or so. They last on/off for almost exactly 3 days. Painkillers sometimes work if I get it right at the beginning, otherwise they just make life partially tolerable for a few hours (then wear off and back to go).

    What I've found - dehydration is a good starting cause along with stress. I drink tons of coffee, so I have to consciously drink tons more of water.

    I never had them, never a hangover headache, never anything until I was 30, right when I graduated grad school, started a mediocre job and lost 3 years of savings in the dotcom bust. Coincidence?
