Finally some answers

Hi there,

Now some of you know I have been sick.

I have suffered form almost daily dizzy spells that the doctor insisted was Sinusitis.

Well after having this problem for 2 1/2 years I demanded i see an ENT specialist.

Well I finally got an appointment and went up to hamiton on Monday to see him.
He asked loads of questions and after oh 5 minutes he says its not Sinusitis..He was adamant is wasnt that.

he thought it could be my inner ear so he did a test on my eyes where i had to wear blackout goggles that video my eye movement. It was horrible at the time as the shook my head for 20 seconds,. talk about freak me right out.
Then did a couple of other small tests with the googles on, no nothing wrong with my eyes etc...

Had to stand on a large cushion and close my eyes so he could test my balance, I turned out to be better than average.

Then he asked about any head injuries.
I might have hit my head when i came off skate board at age 7 but nothing else.

he says that after asking many,many more questions that I suffer from

MIGRAINES!!!!!!!

Well, yes they are crap to have but OMG how cool... I can handle that...
its such a relfief to know what it is..

Now im on a preventative medication. so hopefully the attacks will not so frequent.

but yesterday I sat and looked up migraines on the computer.... after reading all the symptoms (yes dizziness and my other symptoms as migraines)
It all made sense. Im so pleased.
Now I am trying to figure out what triggers them off so Ican avoid it.I know high pitched noises is one, strong perfume is another and food may be one as well.
So I have a huge list of food I have to avoid...

I know being tired is another so im off to bed for a good sleep.

Take care all
