[QUOTE="LoveMoo11, post: 734593, member: 8863"] Hi everybody, just to update you on the situation, I saw a new doctor yesterday. I spent five hours at the doctor's office where I underwent a series of just about every test you could imagine that had to do with my ears and vestibular system. Everything there is just fine and all normal. After all this, the doctor said he was very confident that I have a migraine variant. This is what my neurologist had said back in December, only she said "maybe" that's what it was and that we would try the different meds, etc. He said he didn't feel that the meds my neuro was using were effective (he has treated this before and has had several cases very similar to mine in fact). So this week I am detoxing off of my old medication and next week start on a new type that he feels will help me, then I will see him again in two weeks. He is very confident, as I said, but I will believe it when I feel better I guess. He told me more about the condition, basically its similar to a migraine without the head pain, but instead I am getting other issues that are associated with migraines. The symptoms vary from person to person, but the ones I am experiencing that fit (some I didn't realize were symptoms until he told me) are of course the constant dizziness, short periods of numbness in the hands or feet (in my case feet), and forgetting the words one is trying to say, or looking for. Things that trigger the condition are dehydration, caffeine, processed foods, processed meats, salt, cheese, alcohol, nicotine, stress. I do not eat processed foods, use alcohol or nicotine, but am going to have to work at the rest of it.
