    Cyclical vertigo is a regular thing. Basically it's called cyclical vertigo with predictable reoccurrence. It is something we think our son has now

    Very interesting stuff

    What do you treat your vertigo with? Today we are trying phenergan as a reliever. It's a long long story but basically he was diagnosed with migraines at 4 ( things started at 3) he has been off school for almost 3 weeks now. Never really presented with typical migraine symptoms apart from the light sensitivity but anyways after a chat with our dr and good ole dr google I found cyclical vertigo

    Sorry if I sound vague but it's a huge story if I type it all out lol. This occurs every 8 weeks lasting up to 16 days at a time

    I have benign vertigo, it comes and goes, but doesn't have a pattern. It is associated with the inner ear. It sounds like the vertigo you are describing is completely different.

    I haven't suffered badly from it in a long time, but when it was at its worst I took nausea tablets and limited movement as much as possible, it was terrible.

    not sure about cyclical vertigo as i'd never heard of it before - but if it's regular, can you keep track and show "evidence" to have it investigated further

    has DS had a visit with an ear specialist to check whether there is an inner ear thing happening? i've had vertigo pretty much daily for the past 9 months, and off and on for years before that - never noticed a pattern - was only when i started getting ear pain as well that they actually listened and decided to send me to and ENT for investigation - roll on next week!

    are you noticing any triggers with DS? i've read about your investigations with his migraines i the past but can't recall anything specific
