Hello, I am new here and reading through posts I cannot find an answer to my question. First let me give you a little background. My 36yr old daughter sustained a level 2 concussion on 12/10/2010. She continued to develop symptoms for two weeks after and had two CATs which show no bleeding or fractures. She is now under the care of a neurologist who has ordered another battery of tests for her. She will see him again in two weeks for the results.

Right now her persistant headache is being treated with Gabapentin and it seems to be helping a bit although she isn't at full dose yet. Gradual increases every three days till at therapudic dose.

Her symptoms include headache, vetigo, dizzyness, cognitive function (cannot read or write without extreme difficulty which ends in severe headache pain) She is noise and light sensitive, mild confusion and easily overwhelmed and fatigued.

She has been wearing sunglasses when not in a darkened room but we are now wondering if this is counter productive to her regaining her ability to be in lighted areas. How can we increase her abilty to tolerate light and should we attempt this at all at this time? Thanks
