I would think Antivert or something similar would be more appropriate for vertigo. Also some PT can help greatly.

a Valium/Baclofen cocktail would be way low on my list of meds to chose for that. both actually can cause dizzyness. I get bed spins on Valium. Both are muscle relaxers and in MS spasms are common. Valium can also be used for anxiety or to help you sleep. putting both together would knock down a a small villiage. please be careful.

I am sorry that your husband is being less than supportive. it is hard enough being sick, and trying to figure out what the heckpie is going on, without friends and relatives adding to the struggle. Perhaps you can sit down during a quiet time with your husband and explain to him that you ARE trying, but that you truly dont feel well. Ask him to help you figure out what could be causing this. maybe help with internet research, or help around the house giving you time to research it. If he gives you attitude, then it may be time to have a stronger talk. I hate when these folks dont want to understand.

NO ONE wants to be sick!

btw, what is MAV? I have holes in my head and cant riddle it out.

I think it's Migraine Associated Vertigo.....but I could be wrong. Coffeegirl will have to confirm if my guess is correct.

I agree with the others....Valium and Baclofen together cannot be beneficial to anyone needing to be in a "functional" state.

If you're not satisfied with the care you're receiving from your Neuro and/or your PCP maybe you could start searching for a new one.

Not as easy of a fix with your DH......I'm so sorry he's not being supportive during this time. This is when you really need his understanding. I've not experienced the pain of a loved one not believing me or thinking I was "putting on a show" for attention. I do know it would hurt, though, and I hope he gets on board soon and stops the hurtful behavior.
