Dr Granot has been my saviour after a run of clueless GP’s and Neuros. It is so refreshing to be taken seriously and not rushed out the door after 10 minutes. Thanks to you Scott and this website I was able to find him and start a treatment plan to beat this thing. I travel from Melbourne to see him and think he is worth every cent. I would hate to imagine what sort of state I would be in without the valuable information and support from this website. Thanks again.
I think there’s at least half a dozen of us now who see Dr Granot. We put the bulk in bulk bill! :lol:
I wrote in a post titled ‘Long Distance consultations’ about my visit to Dr Granot, but this seems an appropriate place to post it as well. After a year of dizziness, many specialist visits and being told by one I had ‘phobic postural vertigo’, I found the mvertigo website & read Scott’s experience with Dr Granot, made an appt with him & flew from Adelaide, SA. He lived up to Scott’s description of being a very approachable guy who listened & answered my many questions & understood my weird symptoms. Wow, I could have hugged him & wept! That was November 2011 - almost a year & a few med trials later (now taking 110mg Dothep & 8mg Periactin) I feel almost normal (just a few blips, depending on triggers!).
I had two long appts with Dr Granot (over an hour each, Wed & Fri and since then have had one phone consult & quite a few email exchanges. I am so grateful for this as I couldn’t afford to fly the 2,000km each time for a consult and wondered whether any of the other mav specialists provide this service.

Wow, great stories to read guys. So glad he (and the information provided here) has made a difference to so many people’s lives. 
It really makes my day.
You’re all dead right too. Ron Granot really listens and never makes anyone feel like they should leave in 3 minutes. Smart as a tack too and understands what migraine is and how it presents. In fact, he’s usually running late with appts for that very reason. Some people just need more time and he gives it to them.
I picked up the Inderal tonight for 10 bucks. Cheap as chips … now hope I can handle the damned stuff.
Jane – all PMs will appear in your outbox until the recipient opens it. That’s how you know if they have read your mail. Once read, it will disappear from your outbox. It’s normal behaviour for this forum software.
On another note, the bathroom and the sun room in my bedroom was painted yesterday. The guy used an oil-based paint in the sunroom to battle the dampness. and my lord is it ever doing my head in. Better tonight after 24 hours but I had to seal off the sun room with a giant plastic sheet and also put a fan in there sucking the air out through a window all day. Still a slight stink but maybe 5% of what it was last night. I had to sleep in the lounge last night. Ugh.

p.s Barb, what the hell is “psycho postural vertigo”? Was he sober when he told you that? :lol:
Thanks Scott. Jane 
Hey Scott -
It’s too late now, but if you ever have any painting done again, please insist on low VOC paint. It made a world of difference for me. I remember when my parents had our house interior done when I was a kid - regular old paint - and I was just sick from it. Even before I knew I was a migraineur, I knew the smell of paint “got to me” so I did some research and found out about low VOC paint; when I had painting done in my own house, this is what I made sure we got. The contractor’s assistant had never worked with it before - he exclaimed, “wow - this paint doesn’t smell!” Yep - that’s the point!
Hi Scott
Just checked a copy of the specialist’s report to my GP - actually he wrote “phobic postural vertigo” - memory is not what is was but knew it was his way of brushing me off 'cause he couldn’t give me a diagnosis!
Mary Alice also jogged my memory re the VOC paint - it’s been around for a while & a house painter we knew only used that particular paint which has lessened his frequent migraines!
Good to hear you’re on the 'up 'again it - once you have mav it seems to take the slightest thing to slide backwards!

Scott–a late reply, but ditto with a big thanks for having this great and informative site.
Your Dr. Granot sounds like a five-star doctor, the realio trulio kind. Would that he could be cloned for every region of the world.
Also ditto on not watching stuff that gets your blood pumping even a little bit before bed. Comedies, documentaries, or boring stuff like the news only. No action, adventure, or even drama for me. Not even “Titanic” watched for the 10th time!
A nice crossword puzzle, a big carbohydrate snack, and I sleep like a baby!

Hi there Scott,
Just read thru this thread boy do I wish I could see Dr Granot…
Anyway, quick ? How’s it going with the Inderal? Do you take it all at night or in divided doses?
Thx,
Kathleen
Hi Kathleen,
Thanks for asking. I just started today. Nothing huge going on this week so thought I’d give it a go now. I started on 5 mg this morning. The last time I tried propranolol was before bed and that didn’t go down too well. I was up all night having crazy dreams. I’m already feeling weird at work and there’s some new dysequilibrium but nothing I can’t handle.
Good deal Scott!
Keep us updated on how it goes.
