I had my 6 month check up with the Neurologist today. I was diagnosed with Vertigo, migraines and vertebrobasilar migraine last year after having several dizzy spells where I could not function for 2-4 days. I have been able to control most of my symptoms and migraines with medication. I use a combination of Fioricet and Meclazine to control my episodes. So far, so good.

I had a whopper of a migraine yesterday and my Fioricet was doing the trick. I asked the Dr. about it and he said that now I can take 1-2 of the Fioricet pills and then continue taking 1 every 4-6 hours or until my headache goes away. This is great news as sometimes I take one pill and it does nothing for the pain.

I go back in January unless I have any new issues pop up. Sounds good to me. I am thankful that I have finally found some "relief" for my migraines - I have suffered with migraine pain for most of my life. I remember getting them when I was 12 or 13 years old and they have progressively gotten worse and more frequent through the years. The dizzy spells started right after I had Imac (about 3 years ago) and that's when I got to my breaking point to do something about it. Ahh, the joy of drugs. I'm probably killing my liver, but at least my head won't hurt!
