Hi windyshores

Yes, I have had vertigo several times in the past, gone to PT, and have recovered. I have done those exercises many times at home. This is not vertigo. Its vestibular migraine which is a problem in the brain. It's not sending the correct signal to the inner ear which controls balance and dizziness. At least that's the way it was described to me. I was also told I may have this forever because there is no cure. I just need to learn how to manage it. That is what I am trying to do.

I also have vestibular migraine and understand. There is BPPV, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuritis, Meniere's and vestibular migraine. Phew a lot to sort out.

I have experienced dizziness w/out nausea, vertigo with continuous vomiting, and a feeling of total lack of balance (and being pulled to the left, strangely)...all very different. With different treatments. I suspect the "vestibular migraine" is a catch all. I have "central vertigo" and "vestibular migraine" on my record which indicate origin in the brain. But I also have some inner ear issues. I stopped worrying about labels!
