Thought this was an interesting read
healthcentral.com/migraine/a … 1-143.html
and this one also.
yea but these articles only cover headaches. the headaches are a breeze compared to the vertigo.
I also don’t believe that anyone has proved that it isn’t the result of demon possession. If you think sprinkling holy water on my temples will cure this shit, I’ll take a shot at your trying it. (And if it doesn’t cure me, you can go away; sprinkle-sprinkle is about the extent I’m willing to test that model. If it does cure me, I’ll humbly kiss your feet. Once.)

Just don’t let that holywater get in your eyes David, it’s full of evil pathogens
just waiting to spread their disease
Very good article, made me smile 
Sarah - I disagree about the headaches, I have migraine headaches and dizziness separately and the headaches can be equally as horrendous. Everyone is different of course but you can’t generalise and say they’re a breeze!
i should rephrase that- so with migraines i cant function as in i need to lay down until the pain goes away, cant concentrate on things etc. with the vertigo my balance is so bad i cant take care of myself i need help doing everything and am on the verge of a wheelchair. with a migraine headache i could still walk and force myself to do things like grocery shopping and laundry and clean snow off my car etc. i guess for me they are different types of disability and i prefer the disability i used to get from the headaches (before any sort of migraine med). i guess i also think of the headaches as temporary bc mine always were though i would get a 3 day one before my period. i could still go to work and suffer with ibuprofen and could walk etc. the vertigo is constant so i also see that as worse i guess. i dont know obviously everyone has a different experience.
also with a migraine there are things i can do to feel better like put ice on my head, lay down, use this shoulder massager thing that i have, etc. with the vertigo there is nothing i can do for relief.

Interesting list - I just got over a 9 day straight run of migraines. On day 5, I went to the ER and checked out OK (no stroke, etc) but I have a HUGE black and blue mark on my arm from some amateurish IV insertions…
Do u know the first thing people say to me when i say i have MAV ?
Migraine? That’s a bad headache my brother\mother\lover gets that have u tried X?
Honestly drives me mad…i did get visual migraine really bad and it was awful. .however after 24-48 hours i was back on my feet in the land of the living. .
My MAV lasts 5-10 days at a time
