  3. Hi Nancy. I got on this forum doing research on vestibular migraine. Not actually diagnosed with that particular migraine variation yet as I am in search of a headache specialist Neuro. Haven’t been followed for maybe over ten years. I am a life long migraineur. Used to have just ordinary head aches. Over the years I have added auras, tingles hyper hearing sensitivity, ocular migraine in my right eye, the list goes on. How many more kinds are there? Thanks for your response!

  4. Well, good May have been the thought of the moment! See my reply to Nancy! Thanks for your response.

  6. You've touched on a very lengthy conversation regarding migraine symptoms. Firstly, I'm truly sorry to hear about the progression of your headaches and the additional symptoms you've been experiencing over the years. It can be very overwhelming to cope with the evolution of your migraine symptoms, especially when they manifest like yours. The diversity of migraine symptoms can be extensive, and it's not uncommon for individuals to experience a wide range of manifestations beyond just headaches.

    In addition to the symptoms you've mentioned, there are many other potential variations of migraine symptoms that individuals may experience, including but not limited to nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, dizziness, and sensitivity to light, among others. Each person's experience with migraines can be unique, and the combination of symptoms can vary greatly from one individual to another.

    I hope you found what you were looking for searching Vestibular MIgraines (I have them as well) on our site. If you need more information, do not hesitate to DM a member or continue to post here. Thoughtfully, Rebecca (team member)

  7. thanks Nancy. Great info!

  8. Thanks for your response! There is one Neuro in my area who claims to be a headache specialist but so far I can’t find any creds about him. Also there is a headache clinic at the big Providence Med center to check out . I’m seeing my PCP tomorrow and will get his input. Roxy
