The sleep study sounds like a great idea. It is rare for a doctor to suggest one so quickly. Getting off the high dose of gabapentin is also good.

I am eager to see how she does without the sunglasses. I have never heard his explanation of training her eyes to be photosensitive. For me, it is not the brightness that is the problem as much as it is trying to sort through the sensation of so much to see. The bright light over-powers my ability to process the other visual images.

The Topamax is an anti-epileptic but is sometimes prescribed for head aches. It will be interesting to see what it does for her.

The vertigo and nausea exercises are interesting. Getting the inner ear to be desensitized to movement will help. Never heard of it being done this way.

An OT wanted me to practice putting my head between my legs and then back up. She misunderstood my complaint about moving my head as vertigo.

I don't get vertigo. I get a spaced out feeling from moving my head too fast. I don't get the dizzy/vertigo feeling. Just a mental confusion that takes a while to resolve. The pros don;'t seem to understand how this can happen. They tell me that the head movement is not severe enough to cause a concussion like mental confusion.

Hope this doctor has got the right ideas to help her. It sounds like she is off to a good start.
