can't comment on the biologics and headaches, but can comment on the headaches and caffeine.

i get migraines. the best thing for me to take for my migraines is caffeine. for me, a cup of tea usually is enough caffeine to curb my migraines.

but, that's when i get them organically, not from a drug. i certainly wouldn't use one drug to mask the symptoms of another.

i got migraines from lyrica and had to stop the lyrica. hope that's not the case for you with the biologic and your body adjusts.

i don't know much about the various injectables, but could it be a preservative in the drug, and not the actual drug itself that is giving you the headache?

i bring that up because sodium benzoate gives me a headache, and so i can't eat or drink anything with that in it. just a thought

PS forget that; humira is preservative free.
