She hasn't seen an ENT yet. But I am sure that will be in the works unless the neurologist can do a ENG which to my understanding tests the vestibular nerve. I have put a call in the pediatric neurologist to schedule an appointment.
I never realized how debilitating vertigo can be. You become completely immobilized. I am sorry you had to go through that.

Thanks, Sandy. Basilar migraines (hormonal starting in teen years) is something that I have considered. Even though her pediatrician dx her about a year or so ago with cluster headaches, this seems to be more than that as cluster headaches are rare and she doesn't have many of the other symptoms. She does have symptoms similar to familiar migraines with vertigo and essential tremors. But the three don't always occur together.
I too, naturally, hope it is something simple and treatable.
