   <p>No, you are not alone. Not only is vertigo is one of my most common symptoms, I also do not get pain with my migraines. While many of my other symptoms are nominally worse, it is vertigo that gives me the most trouble long term simply due to the fact that I now have to carry and use a cane to try and prevent (or mitigate) a fall.</p>

   <p>Hi Glynne, <br> You are not alone! Vertigo has become a migraine symptom for me in the last year or so which came as a surprise. Also, I just had a Radio Frequency Ablation procedure which can give you vertigo as a temporary side-effect post procedure. The sudden dizziness and vision problems definitely make me sick to my stomach. I know I&#39;m in for a migraine when any type of light comes to the forefront of my consciousness so when that happens I try to be aware of the vertigo as well. I was encouraged to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor originally for the vertigo to see if it was part of my migraine pattern or from something else like allergies or sinus. That might be an option for you, if at least to rule out the cause. There are medications out there for vertigo and are to my knowledge, mainly those prescribed for travelling. Another thing that helps me is the TheraSpecs or Axon Optics migraine glasses with the FL41 tint. I wear them all the time and it helps because my eyes and any type of light are such a problem for me. I hope some of this information helps and you are not an oddball! You are part of this wonderful community.</p>
