Where is it best to try again for a medical ....

I've recently been extremely disappointed to be denied my class 2 CAA medical certification to continue flying my turbine helicopter. NPPL is not an option as helis aren't covered by this alledgedly "easier medical" license type.
So, my question is, where else can I try? I have heard that some people have success in the states getting an FAA license, and I am going to try there, but I'm wondering whether any of you out there have succeded somewhere else, maybe somewhere where the standards aren't quite so exacting. It is incredibly frustrating because I am denied my CAA certification almost on a technicality but, as they say, rules is rules - so I'm out!
It's only for a PPL, just to be able to whiz about in my heli again..... so any advice or information will be almost pathetically gratefully received.
