fighting vertigo

I thought having a baby would be a life changing experience but not in the way that happened..
I took 5 years to become pregnant and was told my chances of having a baby naturally were only about 5%..So our only option was IVF…luckily for me i fell pregnant at my first attempt..and to add to the excitment i was pregnant with twins.

I hope you get this message...have you been diagnosed with migraine associated vertigo yet? I strongly suspect that this is what you have. The doctor you need to see is a neurotologist, preferably one of the top ones...I don't know where you live, but Dr. Hain in Chicago is one of the best known; there are others of course. There are treatments for this problem (MAV)...migraine preventives. It can take time to find the right medication, but many many people get their lives back with the right ones. Please follow up on this, if you have not explored this option already. It is very common in women in their 30s and also very common following pregnancy, due to hormones. It can happen even if you never get headaches or don't get very bad ones. Good luck!!!
