Hi @bradley99 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you have been doing some good self-assessment along the way to try to better understand your own headaches.
Spending 6 hours in a dark room on Christmas, quitting coffee and alcohol all of a sudden, and experiencing a 14-hour headache yesterday all sound very rough. I'm sorry you have been through all of this.
Have you had your headaches assessed by a headache specialist in a neurology department, bradley99? If so, what did they say?

@lisalucier I did have an MRI 2 years ago to rule out anything new in popping up,but everything looked OK at that point. It seemed like heat and dehydration really triggered during the summer and less so during cooler months. Have been mkre common here during the cooler months this winter, but I have to get through the first 3 months here and rule out rebound headaches as I was taking OTC meds probably 4-5 times a week for extended period of time. So I gotta get that situation corrected. As well as taking the vitamins for 90 days to get any deficiency built back up. I hope on the right track, I have an active lifestyle with kids and somedays my mood is really down. Hopefully I can smooth out that small roller coaster
