Hi sbosco, my headaches are usually worse in the morning. In the early weeks after my accident I thought my head was going to explode and I spent a lot of time on the sofa. I am a homemaker and my only son is grown and out of the house, so I had the luxury to rest a lot. There is a thread on headaches, which was started by e-head, on page 4 of this forum - you might want to read some of the posts. I also recomment www.tbiguide.com, it has some really good information. I hope your son is getting better.
