This is not my story ... but a friend I me. She was very, very ill with Migraine Associated Virtigo . She is a teacher and she was, very disabled by the condition. Her symptoms were continuous 24/7.
She had a prior history of migraine but never with dizziness and then the MAV suddenly hit out the blue. She started with violent nausea and spinning, which then devolved in to much of the usual stuff, brainfog, dizziness, vertigo, weird visual distortions etc...

Migraine Associated Vertigo without the migraine
I believe migrane associated vertigo fades with time, the body adjusts, meds can bring it into "remission", hormones and diet and weather along with stress are triggers.
I believe that it is possible to have Migrane Associated Vertigo without the migraine, I did.
I have a history of spring time cluster migraines, but since the Verapamil, my headaches didn't come this spring. And..the whole time I was dizzy, I didn't have migraines at all. I no longer lie down during the day, my energy is back, I am living again and you will too!

Migraine Associated Vertigo success story
I started having migrane associated vertigo spells a while ago.
I woke one day and felt dizzy, heavy headed, disequilebrium, nausea and I felt as if I was walking on a boat dock.
I went straight to the doctor. Needless to say, I was misdiagnosed by several doctors, treated with wrong meds, and had every test possible over the next several months.
I didn't have much success with it, a little but not as much as I had hoped. That is when I heard about Dr. Hain. Not only did my PT suggest him, but many on this forum did too. I did a phone consultation with him after sending him all my records. He started me on Verapamil; I finally had a diagnosis with a plan. I met with him in Jan. of 2009 for a follow-up. It took me 7 months to get on a preventative and find the "right" doctor and almost 3 1/2 months on the med to get to 100%. It was a gradual process.

Migraine Associated Vertigo
Background
I have suffered from migraine associated vertigo and have been looking for a solution. Diring my research I found out that migraine is a disease characterized by periodic headaches, but people often experience other symptoms, including dizziness.
In some people, dizziness can be the only symptom.Since the 19th century, repeated references have been made to the clinical association of migraine and dizziness.
Over the years, several syndromes have been reported of episodic vertigo associated with migraine.
Some of these syndromes include benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood and benign recurrent vertigo in adults. Some authors have even suggested an association between migraine and Ménière disease.
