    • Close Dizziness & Vertigo

      I rolled over in bed on October 1, 2007 and the world kept spinning, and I was scared to death. I didn't have insurance at the time, so I went to the emergency clinic. They told me I had labyrinthitis and sent me home with Antivert. Finally in June of 2008 I got insurance and went straight to an otolaryngologist. I also went to an audiology center for a hearing, balance and ENG tests. The Epley was performed on me at a PT vestibular center.

      Treatments

      Antivert Not Working
      It doesn't "cure" anything, it just lessens the nausea and makes you tired.
      Epley Maneuver Somewhat Helpful
      Kept me vertigo-free for 6 months, but I am feeling dizzy again. :o( I hate that I have to wait for an appointment for a PT to do this, and I absolutely hate being made dizzy during the Epley -- I have SO MUCH ANXIETY tied to the vertigo!
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I get headaches frequently and several turn into migraines. I am at my wits' end.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      had acupuncture treatment last Thursday and had a migraine that night.
      Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
      I have a sensitivity to caffeine, so it starts up other problems for me.
      Imitrex Somewhat Helpful
      took the pain away but it made me so sick to my stomach I could never take it again.
      Maxalt Working / Worked
      Seems to work, but takes time. I think it's because I wait too long to take it. Gives me dry mouth.
