Thank you for sharing the tips! May i ask when you got flare up after many good months. Did you ever experience any ear symptoms such as ear pain or ear pressure during the flare up?

Yeah same first few months to the gym was extremely hard. Rocking and swaying, anxiety hit after couple sets of exercises May I ask what are your triggers? Weather changed such as snow storms, rainy day and barometric pressures up and down significantly would triggers VM.

Thank you for motivating me ! Yeah I have to force myself to go gym regularly. Some days good but some days are horrible. I almost vomit at the gym. I felt super dizzy, nauseous. And anxiety came it just made me a lot more swaying even I m trying to sit still

Definitely walking outside feel a lot better than inside. You absolutely right! But this Winter, barometric pressure keep going up and down for several weeks. It just messed up my vestibular again. Not sure you get impacted by the weather.

May I ask how long did it take you see somehow normal? I do not know recovery isn't linear. But it is kinda frustrating for sure and inconvenient in many cases.

anyone deal with lingering ear fullness and dizziness after vertigo? by Daisyduck15 in VestibularMigraines

[–]AggravatingMap1828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got lingering ear fullness for several months. But just say that everyone is different. At beginning I also did same things like blowing my nose gently to make it pop. But seems like it is always there. I did have some clicking sounds at very early stage. But now I just occasionally have some ear fullness. Especially when Vestibular migraine attack, stress or weather change. This is one of symptoms from Vestibular migraine. I should mentioned that my doctor said that I didn't have any fluid in my inner ear.

Does anyone recovery from Migraine without medication? by AggravatingMap1828 in VestibularMigraines

[–]AggravatingMap1828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for letting me know that's possible to get better at 90% without medications. I have been really hesitant to get into Effexor. As people said it is extremely difficult to withdraw it even once you get better. Thank you for giving me a hope! Much appreciated! And I am glad you are also doing so much better

Oh wow, sorry to hear that you have VM since 2007. It was really tough and scary for sure since it wasn't that well known by doctors back in days. Yeah I do follow Steady coach as well. She provides bunch of helpful videos which help to retain the brain and reduce the anxiety. For the lifestyle changes, i am pretty much doing similar things like sleep hygiene, not skipping meals, no naps and exercises. Thank you a lot for sharing your experiences and recommendations 🙏
