A few people I know have used it with good results. I think Stephanie gave you some good advice. I'd call the insurance co to see if they'd allow extra for out of country travel.

They seem to tighten up all of my muscles for about 20 minutes or so, and it just kept getting worse. But, now I take Topamax to help prevent the migraines, and I may have only 3 per month instead of 3 per week, like before, and they're not a severe, so I can deal with it. |
