Since transitioning to a vegan diet Ive had terrible headaches. Whats going on, do I have a protein deficiency?
Most likely your body is cleansing toxins from the body. This is not unnormal. Most people experience some sort of reaction (consider it withdrawals) when they eliminate foods that are not good for them. It will pass. I had severe headaches for a while after becoming completely vegan (this was when I was losing a lot of weight as well), which lasted for about a month, but since then the headaches have not returned. If you had a protein deficiency, it would not manifest itself through headaches. A protein deficiency would only be likely if you were getting too few calories, or eating a diet primarily made up of oils and sugars.
