Default daughter's test results

My daughter saw the nurologist today and all her tests came back normal. Normal neck and head MRIs. Normal bloodwork. Normal inner ear and normal sinus.

He said that she should be doing much better than she is and that the dose of gabbapentin she is on is a hefty dose. He said that it should be taking care of her headaches. Unfortunately it isn't and she is still light and noise sensitive too. The only thing that the meds do seem to be taking care of is her vertigo.

Anyway the neuro says there is no more that he can do for her. He then suggested she see a headache specialist. He perscribed muscle relaxers to help with the pain until she can be seen by the specialist. He told her that the muscle relaxants will make her even more sleepy than she already is from the gabapentin. He then asked if her eight year old was self sufficient.

Needless to say she and her husband were not happy. Her husband called the recommended specialist as soon as they got home and they can't see her until mid April. He is going to try a couple more doctors on Monday.

I am afraid that a headache specialist will just keep pumping her full of pain meds and not really do anything more than that. She is starting to get gastric distress from all the gabbapentin and OTC pain relivers as it is. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
