    • Close Dizziness & Vertigo

      In July of 2008 I had a sinus infection. That led to vertigo from a flight to vacation. Evidently flight and sinuses don't mix. In November I had an MRI where they only found a mass of enlarged blood vessels in my brain. But nothing to diagnose my migraines and vertigo. In late November I started seeing a neurologist and started various medications. The vertigo starts to get better and then worse. The migraines fluctuate too. They say I have migraine brain but nothing wrong with my inner ear.

      Treatments

      Antivert Not Working
      It just didn't work for me, made me sicker than I was before.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      This worked very well for the migraines and decreased the symptoms of the vertigo but made my thinking and response very slow so the neurologist moved me to another med.
      Zonegran Too Soon to Tell
      I am on this one now. It is making me very nauseaus. I have only been on it for a few days though.
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      This works great for the migraines. Taken with one execredrin not more than twice a week. Its a great fix the the migraines. Works within twenty minutes.
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      Neurologist recommended me to MRI. Found nothing. Was diagnosed with migraine brain. Have been trying to control migraines for 4 months. Been living with them undiagnosed for 4 years.

      Treatments

      Aspirin Working / Worked
      Bayer, works for a small migraine.
      Excedrin Working / Worked
      excedrin migraine always works but makes me feel funny.
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      works great with an excedrin, but only twice a week.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      this worked well but left me slow in my thinking and processing
      Tylenol Not Working
      never works
