Time to Scream: Vestibular Migraines

[Guest guest]

Dear PJ, I'm really sorry you're going thru this. I know how upsetting it can

get.

I feel like a hot potato, sometimes when I go to a new doctor they always look

at me with fear. They don't understand fibromyalgia and they don't want to deal

with a patient afflicted. I had one doctor look in my face and he said " I don't

believe in fibromyalgia " . He doesn't believe in it?? What am I suppose to say or

do in that situation?? It's not like we're discussing the existence of the Tooth

Fairy or Santa Claus, this is my health, this is my life.

If you need some to scream with pls let me know.

Nic

> I'm at the point where I'm ready to scream.. after 2 trips to the emergency

room with vertigo, racing heart, intense headache and heavy sweats.. my

neurologist thinks it's vestibular migraines. I've never even heard of this but

I need relief so I had a MRI of my brain and many heart tests. Nothing found of

course.. now I am trying this migraine treatment. 6 day treatment of steroids

then Topomax to prevent and Imitrex if another episodes arises along with

avoiding trigger migraine foods.
