OK my daughter called and told me about her visit to the new doctor. He is taking her off Gabbapentin. He put her on two other perscriptions She couldn't remember their names but thought one was topamax.

He is also sending her for a sleep study. He believes her sleep patterns have been disturbed by the head trauma and since there is a familial history of central apneas he thought it a good idea to investigate this.

He told her that she had to stop using the sunglasses. He said that she is now training her eyes to be photo sensitive. He also told her that she had to start retraining her balance center to help improve the nausea and vertigo. She is to do this by sitting on her bed and gently falling sideways into the pillows five times on each side a couple of times a day.

I'm not sure what I think of this. I will just wait and see if it helps her. I'm sure there was more to it that she didn't process. She was in the car on her way home and only spoke to me about two minutes. Her husband was driving so he couldn't clarify anything she was telling me.

She goes back in a couple of weeks when she is on all her new meds and off the gabbapentin entirely.
