I suffered from migraines as a young adult, which eventually went silent, meaning, I suffered with aura, but no pain. Many years later, during allergy season or after a viral illness I suffered with dizziness. The doctor always told me it was post-viral syndrome "nothing to be done - hopefully it will go away." Once after a very bad viral illness, I suffered with vertigo which was so bad I was in bed for six weeks. This time, I was left with a vague residual sense of constant rocking, which was to never go away. I had an MRI, which was normal. The doctor said, "labyrhinthitis, nothing to be done, hopefully it will go away." A couple of years later, I had a flu-like illness which had me in bed for a week. I was excruciatingly dizzy the entire time. As I recovered from the illness, I was left with residual dizziness which was to never go away. And this time it wasn't just rocking, it was 24/7 debilitating dizziness. Another negative MRI. Another "labyrhinthitis, nothing to be done, hopefully it will go away."

Has anybody else had migraine-associated vertigo? Janet Jackson was diagnosed with it last year.
Migraine should always first be investigated by your own gp. My wife suffered with this and she used Guarana, available from good health food stores. Guarana is a native vine from the Brazialian Amazon. It is claimed to relieve headaches and migraine quickly. Guarana is also used as an appetite-suppressant and is claimed as a slimming product. It is also reputed to be an effective sexual stimulant.
