Suggest looking at Vestibular Migraine info also. It is a more recent diagnosis code and many Dr's are not familiar with it. It took 5 ENTS, a Neurologist and 2 GPS over 7 yrs to figure it out.

I was lucky enough to get the diagnosis with my first Neurologist, Dr. Wheeler at Mayo in Rochester, MN. I had been treated for vertigo by a physical therapist in Red Wing, MN after an extreme bout of vertigo. I had also been being treated by by an excellent Chiropractor in Cannon Falls, MN, Dr. Demel for my balance and vestibular issues. The 2 (balance/vertigo and migraine headache) weren't occurring enough together to connect them until I saw Dr. Wheeler after a 27 day long migraine. I ended up needing shots in the back of my head to break the cycle of the migraine and thankfully they worked. I have not had a full blown migraine since then, over a hear ago. I have face numbing and tingling and my newest and almost persistent trigger is the computer. Yay! NOT! Scrolling is the big one. Yesterday I tried to browse items on turning display (like postcards) and had to stop immediately. I believe my greatest help has come from my amazing chiropractor, Dr. Demel, but I also see now that I am probably going to have to see her on a regular and permanent basis to keep symptoms to a minimum. It's a treatment, not a cure. The physical therapist had special training and helped, but my Chiropractor gave me eye exercises that helped the most. Perhaps the information on her web page will give you information as to the kind of treatment she uses or the type of chiropractor or other practitioner that can help you. Otherwise, if others live close enough to Cannon Falls, MN for the treatment effect to outweigh the "damage" done by the drive, check out Dr. Demel of the body works clinic at https://www.bwclinic.com/
