headache

i went to bed with a little bit of a headache last night. i awoke at 2 with a white hot searing headache and popped some pills. at 6:15 it hurt just as much and i took more pills. i think the caffeine is helping a little but man this sucks. i sure hope it resolves soon - we've got a busy weekend ahead. i did 35 miles home last night with my commuter backpack on - i hope that isn't the cause. my guess is a combination of some related muscle tension, allergies (it is ragweed season which was off the charts on my skin test) and maybe a little dehydration. man headaches suck.
