My husband suffers from migraines that can, at times, be debilitating. One of his treatment options back in Canada was botox injections (in his neck) that effectively block the headaches for up to 6 months. Does anyone know if that treatment is available in CR & if it is, where might it be available? Thank you
I am NOT a Doctor and this is NOT medical advice – in fact it might be a bloody stupid suggestion for all I know – but, if you know the exact dosage and where the injection goes, couldn’t a good cosmetic surgeon do this for your husband?

Every person is different, but he may-if he has not already-looked into cause due to diet or work environment. Ingestion of heavy metals,etc.
There are some MD’s and clinics open minded or if you can find in N. America or CR a neutropath (I think that is the name).
Natural News website has some decent articles on:

hope this might help in some ways…Likely, fresh air, sunlight and less stress always a plus, though we in USA/Canada and Britain far less likely to get enough of that…….
Have they done any Neuro workups? scans/CT’s?
One thing that gets over looked at times is Chairi Malformations…..they can cause a lot of headaches
