Vestbular migraine

[smileforever]

Hi all, it's my first post on here,

Been suffering with really bad vertigo symptoms since sept last year and after months of tests my specialist has diagnosed vestibular migraine! I'm a little frustrated as he just diagnosed me then sent me on my way with no care plan! Anyway I have been 5 weeks free form any symptoms until tonight when I had an attack of dizzyness now I feel very strange again. Has anyone else on here been suffering with this type of migraine if so I love to hear from you . Any advise would be great right now

Thanks

If you were in the States, I'd say your specialist (is he a Neurologist?) just threw it back to your GP after doing a consult; your GP is supposed to recommend treatment. Unfortunately, most docs don't know much about migraines. I'm fortunate to work at UCLA where I can read Peer-Reviewed articles by Dr. Andrew Charles. Very wise; like the wise people at the UK Migraine Center, he doesn't instantly schedule an MRI (they don't show anything with migraine that less invasive tests would do - and here we pay thru the nose for them!)
