Dear Jen

the morning headache+nausea suggests migraine to me... it hurts more if you move right?

stress and lack of sleep can easily increase migraine frequency.

rebound headache can also occur following chronic use of pain killers, but would not explain the nausea.

sleep deprivation can also cause 'simple' headaches, period. again, would not explain the nausea but maybe that is something else.

sleep deprivation can certainly escalate your overall pain levels.

i hope that the 6 hours sleep you got is an indication that you are back on the road to sleeping... sleep will definitely help you all around. sleep heals.

hang in there
