Hey, guys! My name is Vicky and I’m a newbie to the forums here. I’m very glad to have found a community of migraine sufferers who the extreme dizziness known as vertigo. For the longest time, I was starting to think that I was the only one! It’s been very difficult these past few years. I started to get migraines following a really bad car wreck about 3 years ago and they haven’t stopped. Along with these debilitating migraines, I find myself on the verge of passing out and dazed . . . like. . . REALLY dazed.
I’ve tried all different types of remedies and medications, but none of them seem to work. I tried taking topomax, but found that the side effects were worse than the condition itself (if that makes ANY sense, at all). I’m just hoping that by being here, I can learn more about this condition and how to prevent on-sets of pain and wooziness. It’s really frustrating because I’ve developed really bad anxiety because of it. . . and pre-agoraphobia.
Either way, I’m glad to be here amongst people who understand. Hope to meet everyone soon!!!
