OK, this has to be the best typo in history.

Obviously I intended to type "lake". O_O

Constant facepalms could explain a headache by means other than how much glucose
they consume :)

If you work in an office building, I'd bet you $20 it's bad air. Air 
conditioning doesn't ever really bring the CO2 levels down to the same as 
outside air.

  It's called a freudian slip.

Slip? Try *landslide*. o_O

Man, it's a good thing you can't sustain Freudian head-injuries from 
this stuff...

That was my first thought too. Though, mine are "usually" triggered by 
not drinking enough. Its notable that a) they can seem to fade, a bit, 
after eating, especially if you didn't eat enough, and that accelerated 
the problem, b) drinking water to rehydrate does **nothing** to stave it 
off, and c) at least in my case, it can seem fairly bad, but not 
horribly so, until I actually have to try to rest any, and then 
*everything* drives me up the wall.

The prevention of these tends to be a) acetometiphin (I think its 
called, and in Tylonol?) + caffeine. The caffeine effects blood flow in 
the brain, so if you decrease intake, it takes a bit for your brain to 
re-adjust. Basically, you end up creating one of the conditions that 
**helps** create a migraine by going off it (oh, joy lol). Not sure what 
the other does, but both are needed to deal with it. The **problem** is, 
this combination will only work, and this has been tested medically, if 
you take one *before* you get any symptoms at all, or *just as* you 
start to notice the preliminary symptoms (which in my case is a stiff 
neck and ache in the nerves there). If you take it after you have the 
headache, it does absolutely nothing for you.

Given how easy it is, on my job, to dehydrate, I have made it a habit of 
taking one before work, every day I work more than 4 hours. Its been 
months since I had one. Where, before, I could get one 1-2 times a month.

Actually.. Could be bad lighting too. Some people are susceptible to the 
flicker in florescent lights, whether working properly or not, though 
not tends to be worse for those people. This can, and does, trigger 
headaches in some people, and could go away, once "re-acclimated" to the 
lighting. Since those types of lights are endemic in most offices, and 
it only effects a small percentage of people, so no one has any plans to 
fix it, it is not at all uncommon.

No it isn't. You may have noticed it early enough, relatively, and
treated it with food before it progressed to other symptoms. You can
have a cold virus with only a fever. Hypoglycaemia can also be a single
symptom of other things. And you did end up with the nausea after eating.

Three 9's odds, though, that it is just a headache. Speculation and
baselessness, get someone with a blood sugar meter to test ya first
thing in the morning.

Doesn't need to be no food for a month. Bet your diet changed while you
were off for a week, maybe had a few more snacks while on break? Extra
carbohydrates during the morning, maybe. The vacation gods will do that
to you, to remind you that you must obey them more often.
