kestrellKes: I began getting vestibular migraines a few months into the pandemic--I had already been treated for standard migraines for over a decade--and my description goes like this: imagine being stuck on the most nausea-inducing ride in the amusement park for two hours, and every time you think it's slowing down, it starts up again. I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing the level of intense nausea that I do. I accidentally came across the info that magnesium supplements can help alleviate migraines, and since starting to take magnesium about a year ago, at least the severe nausea seems to have been alleviated, although I still get the vertigo migraines, just less intensely.
So, my recommendation: try magnesium supplements, as they have many positive benefits (I've heard this from a number of nurses and doctors, and there are also studies).

A sad truth has settled over our household:
Date: 2023-10-13 05:59 pm (UTC)that all medicos have survived an extinction event, and many will never recover.
Our primary care folks are all bailing. I had two skin cancers removed last December and when I scheduled a routine check in August the earliest was March 2024.
I am very glad the magnesium is helping you out. Being steady on your feet is such an excellent part of bipedalism.
