                         RESOURCES I HAVE FOUND NECESSARY AND HELPFUL

1.  "Migraine - More Than A Headache"  by Drs. Michael Teixido and John Carey, Johns Hopkins Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.   (click here) 

     This is the information my doctor, an oto-neurologist, uses for his treatment program for patients with atypical/silent migraine (no headache) and for migraine. 

2.  American Speech-Language-Hearing Association,  www.asha.org  Dizziness and MIgraine  (click here)

3.  www.mvertigo.org/vestibularmigrainesurvivalguide2014  ( Click here ) This is a great description of the problem and the confusion between migraine, Meniere's, BPPV, and Vestibular Migraine.  It supports a migraine diagnosis even for those who do not have a headache component.   Remedies are briefly summarized.  The site is a large forum for this problem and worth viewing.  ( Click Here)

4. Vestibular Disorders Association,  "Vestibular Migraine" by Dr. Jeffrey Kramer, Chief of Neurology at Mercy Hospital, Chicago.  (Click here)

5.  National Headache Foundation:  "Low Tyramine Headache Diet"   (click here)

6.  Heal Your Headaches -1-2-3  by David Buchholz.  Don't be offended by the tone of this book - that this process should be easy.  It is not.  My doctor disagrees with some of the "rebound" section.  It will get you rearranging your thoughts about the neurological basis of vertigo and inner ear problems. It will help you see why vertigo, sinus, ear, stomach and bowel issues are all related.  Buchholz, and my physician and many others question Meniere's Disease, BPPV, Sinus Problems and the basis of Migraine.  Worst cover of a book, ever; a real turn-off for me every time I see it. ( Amazon click here)  ** (Journal of the National Medical Association - Click Here)
 

7.  Nutritionist, Dr. Joyce Bauer,  www.joybauer.com/food-cures (click here)  ("9 Common Migraine Triggers")

8.  Dr. T.C. Hain  of Chicago Dizziness and Balance Clinic,  www.dizziness-and-balance.com.   (click here)  He describes the difficulty of separating the Meniere's and Migraine diagnosis.

9."The Migraine Brain" by Carolyn Bernstein
     This book has many helpful discussions and suggestions and separate chapters for women and men who suffer from migraine.  I feel the Buchholz book (above) is more helpful for MAV and Silent Migraine and I have benefited from the more restrictive initial diet and trigger avoidance outlined in that book. Also, Dr. Buchholz is stricter regarding rebound medication.

     These articles are listed in order of interest, rather than alphabetical.  They support treating vertigo with diet, trigger reduction and seeing non-headache migraine as part of the migraine continuum.
