Anyone in Japan or have resources there? [View all]

I'm at a loss for what to do and thought of my DU family.

My 24 year old daughter is teaching English in Kyoto. She has begun having terrible headaches accompanied by serious pressure behind her eyes, actually causing them to bulge out slightly. After seeing eight different medical people it's been suggested that she go see a psychiatrist.

In my opinion, she needs to see someone who practices holistic medicine, integrative medicine, functional medicine. I know no one on Kyoto or even in Japan and am having a tough time helping her.

Does anyone have any contacts or suggestions for help? At the very least I think she needs to see a migraine specialist.

Thanks so much.
Ellie
