Hi Everyone, I am so happy to have found this forum! A bit of a back story: after years of dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, really crap balance and brain fog, I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines this January. The medication hasnāt been too bad (Epilim 900mg), plus being the anxiety prone person I am, I already take Escitalopram, 20mg.
Iāve learnt to not spend too much time in noisy places like shopping centres and bowling alleys as my ears start buzzing and my brain seems to check out for a while. Managing stress has been the most difficult thing for me 
Anyways, I wonāt prattle on any longer - for anyone who is interest in location, Iām in Australia 
Thanks!

So far so goodā¦ It usually is ok apart from the sensory overload and ārubber floorā feeling. The newest sensation is when Iāve got a cold (currently) - the dizziness seems exacerbated. Blerg.
Thanks for replying!
