Actually, as I've been rereading through the series, I've been compiling a headache journal for Harry.
The first time in the series he complains about a headache not related to an injury is in Fool Moon.
However, there's another series of headaches that happen where Harry has a headache, and then does something uncharacteristic. It's most obvious and frequent in Cold Days, but it's also happened in the series for some time, and at least one such occurrence happens in Summer Knight.

there's one specific type of headache that occurs first in SmF, however:
the two piercing points of cold, like a pair of icicles shoved into his brain.
occurs in SmF (in relation to Mab and the rod), In TC (when harry is about to get mouse to lead him to Thomas)(also with the missing LC) and again in CD.
its like a giant 'Mab was here' sign.

Different world, different alias, but a couple of decades ago there were Pratchett fan communities that had some similarities to this here forum in terms of groups of cool people getting to know each other through a common interest; except largely UK-centric, so quite a bit easier to meet each other in person also. As for the rest, well, I got a fortune cookie this weekend saying people find it difficult to resist my persuasive manner. *waggles eyebrows*
If I ever do publish fiction of my own, I intend to see whether I can get that quote on the back (along with Steve Brust calling me cute and JB's "dear god are you a CIA analyst or something").

However, we have excellent proof that the "Parasite" has been causing headaches, and that it's separate from Mab, from both Ghost Story and Cold Days.
So, while I'm not saying some didn't come from Mab's mind warp, I'm doubting all of them did.
Also, there's a lot more than headaches that come from someone messing with your mind, and we have plenty of proof of that from the series starting at Proven Guilty.

Here's a thread with a list of all the headaches, when they occur and what the context of the headache was....http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,35813.msg1701063.html#msg1701063

we know one headache was caused by Mab
we know one was caused by the parasite
we know Mab and the parasite made a deal
we know Mab promised to stop messing with Harry's head in GS
what we don't know is what caused the incidents in TC

Where in the book did this happen? I don't recall this happening.
