FLuorescent lighting and migraine

Good afternoon.  Since starting at her present college, my daughter has been experiencing migraine headaches not long after sitting down in her classes each day.  She has noticed that the headaches are very, very bad with accompanying dizziness and feeling of being "out of it"; however the symptoms subside once she has been out of class for several hours.  She says she almost feels as though there are little brain zaps occuring when the headaches start. Relpax helps, but she doesn't always take the medicine quickly enough, and often needs 2 pills in order for the headache to go away.  She does not get headaches on the weekends.  After seeing her doctor twice, we have come to the conclusion that the lighting in the classrooms is trigerring these episodes.  Other than takin gsome sort of daily medication to keep the headaches away, are there any other solutions for her?  We will talk to the school about changing bulbs, but I'm not sure how they will respond to such a request.  Your opinion?

This is a late response, your daughter might have graduated already!  I hope she found a solution that worked.  If not, I'd recommend trying tinted glasses.  I have severe problems with fluorescent lights in certain situations, and while not a cure, axon optics have a lens, the FL-41, that could be helpful.  google them and see what you think.
