Several people (including persistant family members) have said "You should just go to the Mayo Clinic. I know XXX. They went there and the team of doctors figured out the cause of the symptoms and they were cured! So I went to the website for Mayo and only found migrane headaches. And I have my doubts about the ability to find a cure for this after reading so much. Please share your experience if you have any.

I haven't been to Mayo, though I wouldn't write them off just because their website doesn't mention anything but migraines since a lot of the sites I have seen don't mention the rarer headaches even though they can treat them. It would just make their websites too long and difficult to navigate to mention all of them (there are tons of rare headache disorders).

As many different problems as your daughter seems to be facing all at the same time, someplace like Mayo may be a great idea because they may be able to see how multiple problems may be related and treat them that way instead of seeing them all seperately (at least I hope they would communicate amongst themselves).

Hey smccann, I don't have any experience of the Mayo clinic (live in England) but did stumble across some info on chronic daily headaches which included a brief mentioning of ndph on their site yesterday whilst reading up on other things. Here is the link: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/chronic-daily-headaches/ DS00646

Hope this helps to reassure you...good luck in getting some decent treatment.

Our doc has mentioned if her headache returns after this successful breaking and if the ANA continues to rise, and w/ the occipital nerve pain---he might would send her to Mayo. We are just praying that things stay the way they are right now!!!

Have any of your doctors mentioned WHICH Mayo campus they would send people to? My sister may be going to Mayo in Florida for her sleep disorder, but my neuro mentioned the other two for headaches (how inconvenient). Does anyone know if different locations have different specialties? And if so which one is the best for headaches?
