I have no way to rule out a psychosomatic disorder but don't know why I might have psychosomatic headaches.

I spend most of my time in my bedroom, on the computer. (Yes, eyestrain has been proposed; I've gigantified the default font in my browser and chat client.) I've moved several times, so unless I'm allergic to my flannel sheets or something, I don't think it's likely to be environmental.

If by any chance you are allergic to dust mites, they're basically everywhere. :)

If your symptoms get worse in humid weather (which dust mites apparently prefer), I'd count that as slight evidence for an allergic origin.

I have noticed no correlation with humidity.
