Hydro detox and headaches, normal?

I was going to detox at the end of my script, (not many left in bottle anyway) Hydrocodone 10/650.  Three years.  Detoxed before cold turkey, but cant remember headaches.  Doesn't mean I didn't have them. I've tryed tapering.  No way Jose'.  Been tryin to take less tho.  last dose was at about 4:00, feelin like **** even then.  Popped some valium to just go to sleep and turn off the world.  No sleep. Cant.  Severe flatulance, my  stomach can feel it comin, got up and was hit with one mother of a headache.  Figured the hell with it, I'm in detox.  Pills are Gone baby Gone.  this *****.  Kinda wanted to be more prepared, but then again that sounds like an oxymoron.  Are headaches normal this soon?  Ye I'm in pain, but I have Fibromyalgia and am ALWAYS in pain.  Immune to the hydro, doesnt help pain enough to warrant being on and I want off of this ****.  I know that the detox itself exacerbates/aggravates the pain (been there, done that)......but I dont remember the immediate headaches.  *****, I cant stand hot water on my skin, too sensitive.  Sorry for the blah, blah ,blah.  Are headaches normal soon(within couple hours) of cessation?  Great site!  Can anybody spare some wisdom, advice FOR MOI,PLEEEASE!

Thanks for helping. Anything helps when you feel this alone.  Slept thru the night and I'm hurtin, but not like I thought.  Hmmmm.  This is weird.  It's 6:30 a.m. and I'm Jonesin but not that bad YET.  Maybe I'm, just used to the pain.  I take A Lot of nutritional supplements that naturally detoxify the body in general , dont know if that is doin anything.  Craving a little but the day is young.  I'm Native American from the Appalacian but raised in Wash D.C  We git er done.  No friggin pill is gonna get the best of me.  Thats why I detoxed before. Unfortunately theres the FMS and I'm afraid that is another ball of wax.  Cross that bridge when I'm forced over it.  Took two Immodium before bed and that seems to have done the trick......so far.  the day is young.  Yes I was stressed but not so much, because I want off this ****.  Nausea, pain, little craving, not enough sleep, thats it for now.  15 hrs and counting  for those who care.  trust me it aint no picnic and if memory serves me correctly ......i've got my seatbelt fastened, cause its gonna be a bumpy ride.
