[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 505117, member: 1233"] If seasonal affective disorder is a possible cause, go get some daylight/OTT full spectrum light bulbs and put in lamps where she spends time. These aren't as cheap as reg bulbs, but they can make a difference. They do make light boxes for this disorder, but they are super expensive and this would be a short term solution that might help. OTT brand makes expensive lamps but also sells just the bulbs. They provide the full spectrum of light, which is NOT what most bulbs provide. They won't give a diagnosis, but they might give some improvement (not instantly of course). Here is a link to their site and they do have a sale right now. [url=http://www.ottlite.com/t-tech.aspx]OttLite[/url] My mom was diagnosis'd with this and the expensive light box was absolute torture. Even with strong sunscreen she still burned and of course wearing sunglasses defeated the point so she had HORRIBLE migraines and her eye doctor was HORRIFIED because just a week was starting to damage her eyes. This is NOT NOT NOT normal and we are all super light sensitive in her side of the family. I got her to use her craft light (Ott light) all the time and that alone was enough to really help. So this might help your daughter in the winter. My mom then had flourescent lighting installed in her kitchen and uses full spectrum bulbs there and has no more problems with it most of the time.
