Makes sense now why it's so difficult for me to grocery shop, especially when the store is very brightly lit.

One thing that I found triggered my vestibular migraines to become chronic was getting glasses with progressive bifocals. I've never seen this addressed anywhere, but two months after getting those glasses I still hadn't adjusted to them, when normally it only takes me a week or so, and that's when my chronic vestibular migraine journey began. Previous to this, I typically had one migraine every 6 months, lasting at most 24 hours. I just want to put it out there in case it's also affecting someone else.

I was hospitalized, and I couldn't stand on my own or walk for weeks. My vision is not the same.

People who are suffering from vestibular migraine or any kind of migraine then start vitamin d supplements. Also try to avoid trigger food like chocolate, cheese, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, MSG, alcohol., red wine. Half n hour sun bath to generate vitamin d . Its workseon me

I am suffering from migraine for 12 years now and during days of attacks I experience dizziness and vertigo even while lying down still. It feels like I am feeling motion sickness although I am not traveling in a vehicle. I got these all after walking on treadmill which i had to give up ultimately as the symptoms got very severe leading to multiple migraine attacks. What could be the reason for such symptoms? Is it vestibular migraine? Or basilar migraine as my physician told me?

I'm having all these symptoms, my new ENT Wants me to try Venlafaxine ER HCL pills!!, I'm hoping they work, living like this sucks.

If a triptan doesn’t do anything to help with the migraine /aura/ sensory issues from migraine, does that mean that it’s more related to vertigo then an actual migraine? Sorry if that sounds confusing lol I’m just confused 😂🙏🏽
