Caffeine at that time sounds counterintuitive but it's interesting that for this problem it can be helpful. You mentioned several other treatments you have tried as well. Have any of them been helpful? Has your chiropractor had any new suggestions?

I hope you have read through all the posts in this discussion (and other discussion related to headaches). One can often find lots of useful tips and tricks that way. Not to mention how others deal with similar problems.

Best, Hank
