Every morning I wake up around 5:00am with a bad headache.

I read this can cause headaches...but probably not if you are just eating a little.

Perhaps I should go a week chocolate-free and see if it makes any difference. I know I shouldn't be eating it anyway - caffeine and sugar can't be fantastic for me. But I don't eat much of it - a small square or two. And it's my one remaining vice!

It just occurred to me that I've been eating GF brownies lately. They are made with chocolate chunks.
I don't know if I could give up yet another food, though. I'm already afraid of too many foods.
These are so good!

This is bizarre. I just posted a reply to you and now I don't see it on the board. Anyway, what i said is that we could try to cut out the chocolate but I'm not sure if I think that's the cause, otherwise I wouldn't be waking up with headaches, would I?
AND, I just googled "tension headache" and the description fits me to a T. You should do the same, there is some good information on the net, including ways to alleviate them (although frankly none sound too convincing). As if we did not have enough to deal with already, Beth!!

Could you give me the recipe, by the way? If not here then could you email it to me?

Don't go cutting out your brownies, I mean come on, what could worsen tension but to cut out one thing you enjoy???
I'd say best thing is some focused relaxation, when I get an evil headache nothing works but to lie completely still, close my eyes, force every muscle in my body to relax, especially jaw and face muscles, and stay there for a good 30 minutes.
HTH!

here's a post I wrote to see if they were safe. You can log onto website and go under brownie baking mix. I also have a recipe that I am going to try because it only contains cocoa powder....so I am guaranteed it is totally safe. I will email you the recipe. It looks very easy! And low fat, DF, soy free....just don't know how it tastes. According to the author, they are scrumptions "velvety".

Beth, Have your 5am headaches coincided with eating the GF
brownies? Another remedy which I didn't see mentioned is to
stick your head in a hot shower, the heat from the hot water
helps alleviate the headache or do what they do up here, go
sit in a sauna for a while. However, you probably wouldn't
feel like doing either of these at 5am. -Bob
