List of Headaches [CD spoilers]
spameroo:
The headache stopped by DR in Cold Days only started in the room of "Memory... Reflection." Kinda supports the idea that the headaches' purpose is to keep him from certain trains of thought.

The immediate thought Harry had right before the "parasite" headache in Cold Days was in recollection of how Ebenezer reacted to him laying down a Sanctum Invocation on the island. He thought "stunned"...then "horrified." Then *BANG*...one of the double ice pick headaches instantaneously.
Technically, I think Harry has the potential for at least four things playing with his head.
1. Mab...when she gets a whim
2. Lash, if she's still in there
3. Gained knowledge from his Mother (Blood Rites) that might or might not have activation protocols upon recognition.
4. Gained knowledge from his Mother (Changes) where he receives another gem containing knowledge of the ways.
5. Perhaps an unknown party known as the parasite (my thoughts lead to Arianna's death curse).

what gem did he get first? what was it for and were did it go?
Ben de Wal:
in the soul gaze he had with thomas

The first gem was in Blood Rites as he soulgazed Thomas. His mother gave him a gem through the mirror. Here's the dialogue:
--- Quote ---My mother stood before me holding what I thought was a small gem or a jewel between long fingers. It pulsed with a low, gentle light.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Insight," she said.
"It's knowledge?" I asked.
"And the power that goes with it," she said. She gave me a half smile, touched with irony. It looked familiar. "Think of it as a mother's advice, if you like. It doesn't make up for my absence, child. But it's all that I have to give."
--- End quote ---
It gave him a dull aching in his head when he touched it. Of course, it was incorporeal since this all took place in his head. He doesn't really possess a gem. But, I thought this was why he was so familiar with Demonreach in Small Favor...not the Wizard Sight as Luccio believed. Maggie Sr. makes a point of stating that power comes with this knowledge. Power comes with all knowledge...so it's odd she should mention it.
