Yes, I often get vertigo with my migraines. It's good that you've ruled out a lot of things already. Even a negative result can be positive feedback.
I agree with Rowena, that it would be good for you to use the migraine tracker here to try and find a pattern.
Good luck and keep us posted with your test results,

How are you? How was the MRI and blood tests? It is good that ear and balance issues were ruled out. Other possible causes of vertigo include disorders in the central vestibular system such as the vestibular nerve, brainstem, and cerebellum. Migraine usually responds to biofeedback therapy and prescription medications (ergotamine, dihydroergotamine , 5-HT agonist and other preventive migraine medicines). It is important that you identify the triggers and try to avoid them. There is a migraine tracker here in medhelp that may be useful. Take care and do keep us posted with the diagnostic test results.
