Good like. Our stories are similar. When I tell people I have vestibular migraines, they look at me like I have three head.

This is pretty much how I live. I have been seeing a neurologist regularly. I’ve had every test, pt, mri’s, known to man. I’ve been given several drugs that didn’t agree with me. Recently, I was put on amitriptyline, which seems to be helping. I have finally accepted it and have learned how to live with it. I now have a cane and walking sticks. My triggers are sunshine, going in large places like Walmart, stress and lack of sleep. I have adhered to a migraine diet. I may have one cup of coffee in the morning. I don’t eat chocolate as much as I love it. I’ve worked really hard to figure out what works. I’m the best I’ve been in a long time but it’s still debilitating and unpredictable. Thankfully I am retired and no longer raising five kids so I can stop when I need to. Good luck to all and I hope you all stay health.

Your story story sounds similar to mine. I’ve tried PT with folks who specialize in vertigo to no avail.😞. From what I read I’ve been through most of the testing, tried different medications, some I’ve been allergic to. I’m comfortable as I am. It’s debilitating at times but I adjust. My triggers are sunshine, wide open stores like Walmart, barometric pressure. Funny thing. I’m fine when I sit down. I’m fine with driving. Good luck to you.
