| Hi Tony, welcome and I'm sorry your daughter is in so much pain and can only
imagine how difficult it is for you in wanting to help her. A couple of
things come to mind, what about a headache clinic or a *teaching* hospital?
Have you given either option any consideration? If so, depending on where
you live, someone here may be able to point you in the right direction.
