00:00:00 Intro & what Mark's life was like before PPPD
00:04:51 Symptoms first started in October 2021 and gradually ramped up
00:09:39 Dr. Google, ER, ENT after ENT, neurologists, vestibular therapists... no answers
00:13:23 "Just tell me something is wrong with me!"
00:18:07 What life was like at the peak of symptoms- swaying, depersonalization, visual issues, lightheadness and more
00:23:23 His mindset starts to shift and he starts moving again- turning down the danger signal
00:29:39 Proving to yourself experientially that you are ok is the first phase of recovery
00:32:32 Mark has gone from dealing with 24/7 symptoms to boxing & lifting weights - SYMPTOM FREE
00:38:50 It's all about feeling safe and understanding there's nothing wrong with you
00:41:38 There's also a recalibration process of learning what's normal and what isn't
00:46:37 Accepting your feelings and showing yourself compassion also reduce the nervous system alarm
00:54:07 Going from not being able to walk to the bathroom to getting back to peak fitness
01:01:27 It's really about going back to the things that you love, regardless of what that is DISCLAIMER: Please note that Yonit Arthur, The Steady Coach and any of our other guests are not acting as an audiologist nor offering audiology or medical services services or advice on any public videos or on any other content.

I've been suffering for 9 years. I'm homebound, can't work or drive. I haven't left my house in over a year. I'm going to be a success story one day.
I am so sorry you have gone through this, Charlotte. There is hope! I can't wait to see your success story too!
You WILL be!! I kept saying I would be as well, and eventually I was 😊
I’m waiting for my time too🙏🏼
Yes, you will be for sure! ❤❤❤
Yes you will!!!!❤
Man , this one hit home! Pretty much same age, 2 kids, living life to the fullest and this crap smacks me in the face and put me on my knees begging for mercy. His story really mirrors my journey. It would be super awesome to connect.
You should definitely connect!
My story to the T!!! So grateful for your channel! God bless you 🙏 ❤
I relate so much….. the feeling betrayed , the waking up everyday hopeful, the fear, the active doer person I am …. All of it.
I have a ear inbalance due to a fall, when I had cv19 on APRIL 21,2020 . My ENT did all sorts of test and said my ear imbalance was due to the fall .I've been doing pt for approximately one and a half seen little progress but I cont with the rocky boat sensation regardless of how much PT I've been doing I feel I'AM alone at my journey to recovery.
Thank you very much for your inspirational videos . I was diagnosed six weeks ago by my neurologist after numerous tests . I find hope after listening to all the success stories and I am listening to you walking every day and trying to clear my head from all the dizziness . I find being in a supermarket or store the worst and I am trying to push through . Any suggestions is welcoming . Thanks again
This brings tears to my eyes. The disappointment in your body really resonates with me. Thank you for sharing.
You just saved my life 😢 I could not be happier im 15 and my life was turned upside down im going to watch all your videos right now thank you Lord
Take the course!!! Totally free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course and I've gotten feedback from other teenagers just like you who've recovered after taking it. New version will be out early next year.
Congrats Mark and Dr Yonit. Cant wait for part 2
Me too!
This is such a good story. Thank you Mark for sharing. I've learned a lot from this episode. Thank you Dr Yonit Arthur for your continuous work in this area. We all really value what you do and we appreciate it.
I have been suffering for 12 years. I too Dr. Yo plan on being g a success story. Mark's story initially triggered me but I kept listening. When I Hearn him quote my Dad I knew I was in the right place. The compassion and feel the emotions peace is so real and valuable.
This interview gave me so much Hope! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I have a very long story myself,
Very similar to yours and I am doing better with therapy, exercises and learning to say No! Lol! Hang in there buddy and keep getting stronger! Please continue to help those who have this debilitating issue that is often dismissed by western medicine! Best Wishes!
Thank you so much for sharing. So many things you have said resonate. For past month since finding steady coach I am seeing with awareness of Tms and doing the somatic tracking I am feeling an ease and hopeful as the journey continues. With gratitude x.
Thank you so much for this. I think there is something to be taken away from each and every success story. I have more coming, too!
Wow Mark i really needed to see this today because after 1 year and 4 months the drs still have no answer and seeing how bad you got and managed to be in this video smiling and have hope just switched something in me that im gonna get through it also. Much luck to you and hopefully we get to see you boxing soon
YES! You are going to get better too!!
Wow, absolutely LOVE MARK! He reminds me of myself so much! Just joined your group coaching Dr. Arthur! Cannot wait to talk! Also, congratulations Mark… you rock brother! I’ll hold your pads and practice combinations any day!
So happy to have you, Austin!! We can always use more infectious energy! Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!
amazing story! i so relate to marks story, being active, a go getter, always wanting to be there for people, going above & beyond and so on… but i ENJOY it. then i caught myself saying “WHY BODY WHYYY” 😢
i need to work with you!!
As you heard him say, Mark asked this question at least once every session. What i told him is what I'll tell you: it's not about the what but about the how. By all means, be awesome, be amazing, be a go getter. But do this with an immense amount of self-compassion and self forgiveness, understanding that that is the only way to truly flourish in these conditions. I say this as "one of you" myself, Briget. I would be a big hypocrite if I didn't follow my own advice. I invest a tremendous amount of time and energy in my own self care so that I can be there for others.
God bless you Yonit! Thank you for helping me with this content. I do share your content ❤❤
Thank you so much, Kelly. That means a lot to me.
I’m in tears of happiness for you, your story mirrors my whole experience, even from when it started to now. And the video from this amazing woman that changed my life. I also joined the program, this woman changed my life. I would love to give my testimony too xx vestibular migraine warrior ❤
Chantel that is amazing!!! So good to hear from you!! WOW! How are you feeling?!
I've been suffering for 6 years now. Thank you for sharing this video, it makes me feel better. I just can't wait to connect to you, because I'm truly helpless here! No one can understand what I'm dealing with. So thank you again for doing this❤️
You're very welcome! Thank you for trusting me with your healing!
Thank you for your story Mark, you’ve given me so much belief now that I know my brother can recover from this and be even stronger than before. He loves boxing too and I think doing some movement will be good for him to
Being featured as one of these success stories in the future is giving me motivation as something to shoot for. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have found your channel.
Yes! I would love to hear your story when you recover!
@@TheSteadyCoach Dr Yo: Says something encouraging to me.
Me: Enthusiasm for my self love recovery doubles :D
Finally someone i can identify w! I have so similar story! Feels good to not be alone. Hope i can be better soon!
I’m not sure if my
Comment was posted so I just wanted to thank dr Yo for her heart being with every one of us . This interview as all the others was so helpful and encouraging . I’m hearing not to clock watch so I don’t , and every person is different , I know I will come out on the other side of this . I thank God for you dr Yo , you have been a lifeline for me and others , I will keep going and doing what you say , move move move , a million thank you’s is not enough ❤😢
Thank you for your kind words, Denise ❤
I really love his story Dr. Yo! I'm curious about about what exactly he did (besides exercise) when he has a spike. What another wonderful interview!
Still working on this with him- in general, what helps is lots of self-compassion, checking to see what stressors/emotions are being triggered.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you!💓
You sound like a Long Islander/New Yorker. I am as well and went after my MdDS and doctors with a purpose just like you. This is how I am working almost five years with this condition. I will be 56 in two days hoping it will let me go. Happy for you.
I am an only child who basically raised myself since I was 14 years old. I was unaware that I was a perfectionist or control freak in any way. I have been married since 1993, and I guess MdDS made me learn about more of my faults than I thought.
You can do this!! And yes, Mark is DEFINITELY a New Yorker!
I just bought your book. I’ve had vestibular issues for 40 years. In 2020 I was diagnosed with PPPD.
When you google articles about PPPD even one from Stanford University says that it may never go away and most people suffer for atleast an average of 5 years. Do you believe that? Reading stuff like that doesn’t give much hope.. this is why I return here for validation that people do recover!
I’m glad you can turn here rather than believe their well intentioned but ill informed opinions (not facts). A reductionist biomedical approach does not work with PPPD. I firmly believe they are wrong. Not saying this is true for 100% of people, but generally speaking, once people discover that what they have is neural circuit dizziness (neuroplastic symptoms) and start to apply the correct approach, many people improve within weeks and recover in months. When people have complex or severe trauma, lack social support or have deeply ingrained anxiety/personality strategies, it can take longer, but in those cases, this needs to be treated as complex post traumatic stress, not a vestibular disorder.
I made a full recovery in around 9 months. Styled by meg on CZcams shows you vestibular rehabilitation exercises you can do, I copied them 3 times a day and made a full recovery
@@clairchetwood9777I don't find styled by meg? Which exercises did you do to help you recover?
@@samia2604 I did the Cawthorn Cooksey exersizes
There is hope. Thank you so much ❤
How is he doing now ? Can’t wait to see part 2 follow up 💪🏼
Great interview. I can attest to movement being key for me too. Quite sone time back you encouraged me to not give in to the urge I had to lay down after grocery shopping. The first few times it wasn’t easy but after that it quickly became a non-issue and I no longer felt the need. And the movement definitely doesn’t need to be a gym workout, basic everyday activities work too.
Absolutely, Paula!
I tried to push through but then felt exhausted for days with my symptoms being worse.. after how long were you able to not lay down?
This interview was so great for me today . Thank you once again Dr Yo for your heart being in this as it is so disturbing and uncomfortable , you have been a life preserver for me and many others , I know now I will come out on the other side and I am not watching the clock . Everything I do with this condition I look at as a victory ..... this is all because of you and your words ❤😢
So, there is hope, thank you so much!
Yes, there is!
Thank you so very much! Great, so similar to my case! Very important sentences/conclusions from Mark and Dr Yonit: Appreciation for yourself. Be kind, do not punish/shame yourself. "No." is a complete sentence. Be kind to yourself. Stop fighting the symptoms, accept. Anxiety is not feeling the feeling. Go through the symptom, stop fighting, experience it. My body wants me to feel better so it overreacts. Slowly step by step walking, exercise. Look at ways to incrase your self-confidence. Remember that you did these things before dizziness and you can do it now too! Mark said: Change the way you look at things and things you look will begin to change! and Dr Yonit mentioned "When you honor your feelings, it becomes easier to change the way you think".
Great summary! Thank you!
❤
Thank You for continuing these interviews. They are so emotionally helpful as they reassure us that changing your "mindset" along with appropiate physical activity can cure this problem. Your channel has made a big difference for me. I still have a ways to go but things look promising.
So good to hear, Edmund. I know how important these are. I have several more coming!
Thank you so much for the help, hope and encouragement! @@TheSteadyCoach
Dr Yonit you are an angel
❤❤❤
Omg this is exactly what happened to me! This video makes me feel like I’m not alone. Your channel has given me so much hope. How can I work with you?
I'm so glad! thesteadycoach.com/services/#group-coaching
Totally can relate to Mark.
This was amazing !! I’ve been so poorly with the fainty feeling / light headed thing and the other symptoms. I’ve had a CT scan all clear and bloods fine. They think inner ear but I didn’t get any answers from the ENT. I’m terrified of the fainty feeling that mark described I get it almost daily and and dizzy the rest of the time. I’m also housebound hoping to recover soon it’s been 6 months it’s horrible. Thank you for the video bringing hope xx❤
I am sorry you are going through this, Charlotte. There is hope!
Thank you! Do you have any tips on dealing with feeling like your going to pass out . I’ve had it as a symptom all along but never passed out I think it’s more the sensation but it’s getting me down. In bed and on the couch a lot and not able to go out. Thanks again for giving me hope it’s so lonely on this journey ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I plan on joining the group Yonet when my car is paid off in September
Dr Yonit, I have been watching your channel and it has tremendously helped me. I am so glad for having found you. I have been improving well, but I seem to go back and have bad days. The thing that I fear is what if I go back and my symptoms worsen and then its like a self fulfilling prophecy. Its like I am already expecting things to go back to square. Any tips on how to get over these fearful emotions while making progress
Ups and downs are a completely normal part of recovery. This is a very common question that comes up and you may be interested in this video czcams.com/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/video.html
Loved Mark's energy!!
My question is, all humans get stressed at some point, but why only few of us end up getting PPPD??
No famous people or celebrity had it??
Are we the chosen one?lol
Actually, I have heard from celebrities with neural circuit dizziness. And some famous ones have had neural circuit pain! I think it's a combo of 1. having difficult childhood experiences 2.. modern life stressors and the accelerating growth of disconnection and loneliness in modern society 3. being born particularly attuned/sensitive 4. having had the bad luck of having a vestibular event rather than a pain one.
@@TheSteadyCoach oh wow so there are famous people out there struggling! I wish they would talk about(just because if they talk about it, more people will know), but I also understand it's uncomfortable to.
I just googled that yesterday, famous people with PPPD! LOL! I found out Mette-Marit, the Crown Princess of Norway has had vestibular problems. Stephen Colbert suffers from vertigo. there were a lot of historical figures, the writer Jonathan Swift. If you Google, you will find examples of famous people who have had this kind of vestibular disorder issue.
@@luckyrabbitnumber thanks for sharing!! It seems like there are lot of ppl with verdigo, but I don't know anyone dealing with PPPD...
There is a testimonial by Mark Cuban in CZcams
I am literally crying listening to this....this is exactly me right now.....I am tired of this and don't have any idea what to do next
Please consider taking my free course on healing thesteadycoach.com/free-course. There is hope!
This month marks exactly one year for me. I literally woke up one morning and just felt “off”. I was told Vertigo, but no, I knew from the beginning that this wasn’t it. Fast forward to 8 months and some testing (everything clear) I was finally referred to a neurologist who diagnosed PPPD. I didn’t get many options or explanation for the “why”. I declined to use medication. I know in my heart that I will get better. Like Mark, I still wake up daily thinking if today is the day where it’s gone. But no, I wake up and there it is, that “sensation” that is so so hard to describe. I did discover your channel a few months ago and I do think that the mind set is key here. Fortunately, I’m able to work and tend to my family, but I cannot remember what its like to feel “normal”, it’s like I’m used to this sensation, I’m no longer afraid of, but it’s there. After listening to your podcasts, I think I can actually pinpoint to what have triggered it. I did go through a stressful time last year. Im hopeful Dr. Arthur. Thank you for putting all this information out here for us.
For perspective: I am a 40 year old female. Three young children. Been super healthy my entire life. No childhood trauma. I do fit the bill of being a “perfectionist” and people pleaser for most of my life.
I can relate. Another fear is what if I get used to it, and cannot completely get rid of it...
You are not alone! I believe in you!
Well that is a fun inspiring video, was recently diagnosed with chronic vestibular migraines with pppd... I figured I can better figure out where I will be in a day if I measure on a scale of 1 to 10 how I feel , and it does go above 10 but generally...1-10 .
Its been 6 years 😮💨
Very through provoking you guy both together discussing his journey ,in this video you see his passion, how he has never given up hope even though it seemed hopeless. How fear comes into play because your brain can't figure out where you are in space and then nothing feels safe so you go into fight flight or freeze .
There is so much at play where your upbringing, your character, spritual life, your support system or lack of could play a big roll in recovery but I am learning more about the mind body connection , I feel really bad for people that are naturally lazy with this dis-ease ... my brain says something is broken , how does it work and how do you fix it .
Its definitely a horrible space to be in and understandably common to be in flight mode to be out of and away from what is threatening ,I have many analogies , searching for an answer is like running from a threat down a long hallway with many doors but every door seems to be locked .
I offten say I feel like I'm on a boat in a crazy kitchen ,
in our local Science and Technology Museum we have what we call a Crazy Kitchen an illusion of a normal room but not normal.
Myself I have an added vision problem so I see double and distorted, life takes a lot of brainwork and energy if only it burnt calories.
I understand in a stressful situation your body releases cortisol, cortisol spikes insulin and insulin is your fat storage hormone 🥴 and the beat go's on 🎶 and the beat goes on 🎶
Oh my god you perfectly described what I’m going through!!!!!! I’m scared of getting used to it and it’s really hard to describe that sensation…..! I randomly woke up one day 5 months ago and it started
I'vee had this for almost 13 years now 24/7/365. I've just learned to live with it. It doesn't scare me but it certainly isn't going away and makes me angry to be honest. There are days I get the 'why me' stuff in my head too. Not the life I want for sure.
You're in the right place, Sharon. You're not alone.
I am so thankful for this video. I have had my dizziness for 5 years now. Carolyn
Is yours constant all day 24/7?
How’re you doing now
That is so crazy, mine started also in January 2021, same lightheadedness and visual symptoms plus derealization, thankfully no swaying or spinning though. Also had really stiff neck side to side and panic attack anxiety. I am also an avid gym goer, driven, and perfectionist type person LOL, I was into bodybuilding going to the gym 6 days a week, my initial attack happened at the gym actually.
How are you going in general since then? Huge improvement?
Wow! I’m on Long Island too! I thought I was the only one. I can relate a lot to what he is saying. This part of the country is very stressful and there is a lot of pressure to participate in a lot and to over extend ourselves and saying no can be difficult.
IMO NY is very into the biomedical model, they push medication from every where and there is not a lot if mind body connection resources.
You are totally not alone. There is actually a therapist in NYC who specifically specializes in vestibular issues and mindbody disorders if you ever make it in to the city. Dr. Kirsten Fliegler www.kirstenfliegler.com/
Thank you!
Wow, I'm dealing with the same thing. Suffering for so long. Im in, ready to recover.
Great, JT! You can do this!
To all the people pleasers and do-gooders in the world! No, is a complete sentence. Thank you, the Steady Coach and Mark!😅
❤❤❤
Dealing since 5 months. Hope it gets better soon 🙏❤️
You are not alone, Manikanta!
I am so touched after listening to Mark, all the tests, stack of reports, please give me an answer i have a problem😂 untill a doctor finally said i had PPPD although i had dizziness less than 3 months
❤❤❤
I already feel better just knowing I can cure this 😅
My Dad has been telling me my entire life that No is a sentence and needs no explanation. Now it is time to implement that belief.
Exactly, Lanise!
Dr Yo, thank-you for these success stories and your videos. I'm trying to find the follow up video with Mark but don't see it. Did this not happen after all? I've signed up for the free course and am learning a lot. Awaiting mri results but pppd really sounds like what has troubled me for a few years! ❤
I just finished Vivian’s story and currently 25% through Mark’s story and I’m kind of a hybrid of the 2. I first started to experience the swaying or feelings that the ground is moving underneath me when I walk and I walk 11k-15k steps a day, go to the gym 4-5 days a week for intense exercise (weights and cardio). My symptoms started 9-10 weeks ago at work and it literally came out of the blue and I haven’t been the same since. I finally decided to go to my doctor 2 weeks ago and did chiropractic maneuver on my neck to “put my head in place” TWICE but my symptoms still have been present. However, the symptoms at the beginning were the worse and have since gotten better as the weeks went on due to still going to the gym training hard and eating right. At first I thought it was a reaction to a new fat burner that I tried, but I stopped taking it in the symptoms were still there. I’ve limited my caffeine intake all the way down to zero whereas for several years my daily intake was between 250 and 350 mg of caffeine, which I think may have stressed my adrenals in my sympathetic nervous system, and added to what I’m dealing with now. My doctor recently prescribed me medicine to deal with the motion sickness but I’ve never taken prescriptions in my life and I’m not comfortable with it as I feel like he’s trying to put a Band-Aid on an underlying issue. A week ago I got my blood test results from my doctor and they were stellar all the way around so based upon the research that I’ve been doing and the symptoms that I have, I know that I have the PPD. My wife constantly tells believe everything you hear on the Internet what I see on CZcams, but she knows that I do know my body and something is definitely wrong and what I am experiencing is in alignment with what you’ve been helping people overcome. I’m going to beat this!! Thank you for everything!!! Thank God I kept moving and fighting through the symptoms and imbalance attacks. At first I thought it was an issue with my glutes getting stronger and my hamstrings getting stronger because I hurt my knee a few years ago and I’ve been fighting to overcome, torn quad tendon that I did not get surgery for in the start of the year, I have been strengthen my glued to my hamstrings, my knees, my quads, my car, and I thought it was my neurological system adapting to the new stimulus of having muscles fire that were dormant for so long, but that wasn’t the case. I have no issues driving. I have no issue standing the only issue that I have is when I’m walking it feels like the ground is unsteady when I look down it almost feels like sometimes I’m walking on a conveyor belt and I’m unsteady in someone’s, pushing me and my hips, forward backward or side to side, depending on how the attack is at that moment. I do wear glasses and I’m in need of a new prescription which I’m actually gonna pick up this week. I’m hoping that it helps me out on top of doing the vestibular rehabilitation exercises that you’ve shown on your channel. My wife really doesn’t understand what’s going on because she’s seen me in such great condition and in shape for so many years that it’s very frustrating at times and I feel so alone in my body because you can’t see the sickness and the symptoms that I’m fighting.
Don’t forget to do the course too. It is FREE, and the rehab exercises are not the way out of this, please see the course for the other things you should do! thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@@TheSteadyCoach will do!! Thank you!
Look up Styled By Meg on CZcams. She has some videos on PPPD, one showing vestibular rehabilitation exercises. I fully recovered in 9 months after finding her. Stick with the exercises, I did them 3 times a day, when the dizziness was really bad, I'd do them sitting down, then progressed to standing up when I was getting better. They can take a while to work but stick with them because they do work. Good luck.
Its so frustrating that the doctors are not interested to take up more research information on this, i got every information on this from youtube. I could tell the doctors just wanted me out of their office. One even asked me if I have anything against going to work.
I love reading all the recovery stories. I believe I am well on my way to becoming one of them since discovering The Steady Coach .. you are a life saver. However I am finding that I have days when the tools don’t work as well as on other days and I find I start to get anxious about feeling anxiety! I guess my question is.. do you find most people still have bad days here and there or do things get incrementally better day by day? I’m trying to be realistic and tell myself it’s not going to happen overnight but it can get a bit discouraging when things are going well then for no apparent reason I seem to regress a bit. Hoping this is a normal part of recovery?
Hi Penny, this is a completely normal part of recovery. Ups and downs are normal. You may find this video of interest if you haven't seen it. I talk about what recovery looks like czcams.com/video/zJcWEn19W3g/video.html
Great success story this sounds a lot like Gerd ( generaliazed anxiety disorder )
There is a lot in common between chronic dizziness and anxiety disorders! There are some nuances. I don't think of chronic dizziness as just anxiety. Anxiety definitely predisposes people to it and makes it worse, though.
Thanks for sharing this interview. I've had pppd since February 2022. I've improved tremendously on my own and watching wonderful people like you on CZcams! I had numerous tests and everything was normal, no answers from these doctors.
I do have one question regarding the suggestion of taking antianxiety meds. What do you think of this approach. I am so much better now I've done this to this point on my own but I do worry about relapses what do think?
Hi TAM, this is a very common question. I talk about this more in this video czcams.com/video/NLnSNCpewh4/video.html
Dr Yo, thank you so much for the video which i look forward to watching. I am slowly getting better in big part thanks to you. I noticed a lot of your recent success stories are with men, which seems disproportional considering the population usually affected by these disorders. I was wondering if its because men tend to recover more easily than women? Or is it just a coincidence in your choice of guests? In any case, I appreciate these guests so much, just curious about the trends you've noticed in recovery.
Good observation, Olivia! Although I know the stats, I have found my clients are split 50/50. I wonder sometimes if it is the way I'm presenting information, and if it's not that women suffer more from vestibular issues, it's that women are more likely to be diagnosed and counted for official statistics. Regardless, I have found that men tend to be more willing to be interviewed. I have two more success stories already recorded that are from women. I am hoping more women volunteer to share their stories.
Love this succes story!!!
What i really miss or would love to hear, is more details about WHAT people really feel when they have eye troubles.
I understand swaying and balance stuff... but there are so many visual symptoms i feel that give me a weird and full of questions mind...i would so much live to hear what people really FEEL when they say i have visual sensations...i did see your video on it. But oh how i would love some more details about it. It is for me the only symptom that keeps on giving me doubt about am i really ok with these weird visual stuff🙈🙏💕
PS.....so..i mean like: i feel weird pressure when i move...its between eyes and brain, like my brain can't process what i see, fast enough/ i feel off balance when looking around too quick/ i feel off balance when a lot of things around me move or i move/ i feel like my eyes have a slight delay sensation when looking left to right or a car or bike person passes by/ when i walk in an open field my eyes feel like they cant see clear or focus well and feels pressure when looking around and makes me feel off balance/ when riding a bike or horse (i can still do this), i feel like all that passes me, gives pressure behind my eyes to my brain and making me feel really weird/ "off" inside my head & just afraid to really move/ when walking or standing i feel these eye stuff all the time when looking around me and making me feel like i am.not relaxed in my head and than because of this,also in my body. When i sit down it is a lot better visual. in my car also. I can drive like 50 km an hour easy. But 100 km an hour is the same pressure again...When i focus on my mobile, i can see clear. But looking far away right after that, it takes time to see clear. And also the other way around/ in the supermarket i feel pressure behind my eyes/ brain, when looking for stuff, people passing by etc. It gives me this off balance sensation. When looking around me, standing in a land. I CAN really see the little flowers on the ground, but just not super sharp. But than a big square box standing there 40 mtrs away, i see super sharp. And than the building behind it, i see really well...but JUST not getting it sharp! This goes on, all day, with all around me🙈 and it all started the same time around the pppd. But than only a very little bit. And now its the biggest problem.
😅so...i feel weird because of my visual disturbances.
And the thing is, i HAVE lost a LOT of pppd sensations i have had before!! But these eyes are causing most troubles now. I loved your video about it. But still...i find myself going back in doubt every time when i feel something that is not mentioned yet😏i AM checked. Eyes are healthy. And dont need glasses...
But its like i am afraid that i am different than others. Like, i REALLY have more or really strange visual stuff others dont have. I never read about it. When looking at anxiety websites i only find the well known stuff like tunnelvision/ blurry/ light sensitivity etc... but not these details about how weird this can feel...
And that....for me is the 1 thing that keeps me stuck...
I really really hope/ wish you can help me out with this one...
i know you are full with helping clients...i would have loved to be your cliënt.
But i hope maybe you can do a video with REALLY details HOW some stuff really feels...evethough hard to describe sometimes.
Or...please help me with my question here...
Or maybe if someone reads this...be welcome to write your experiences as reaction....i would so much love to hear more from others. I just feel like i really am weird or different or really really having a problem that cant be fixed.
ps 2...is it also common with the visual problems to have much setbacks/ ups and downs?
Arianne, I’ve got a great interview coming up with someone who had visual visual symptoms and I’ll be sure to ask for detail! However I do want to tell you that the anxious brain WILL ALWAYS find an exception no matter how similar someone’s story. It will bend over backwards trying to find some reason why it doesn’t apply to you!
@@TheSteadyCoach I cant wait!!!! But thank you already!! You are an angel for all you are doing!!!! 🥰
I was diagnosed with triple pd vertigo in 2019...after every test under the sun...was a csm on the front end of Walmart where I would run if I had to and one day I went to work and could barely walk...driving I would take the back roads detouring away from traffic, at work I was using a small shopping cart to balance myself so I could do my job until they told me I couldn't use it anymore for safety compliance and had to use a walker. ..mind u I was 43 at the time...which caused my customers to stop and ask me if I was ok..a distraction ..I started working two weeks ago at a clothing store. ..I need help...my symptoms are back strong and I have decided to go to physical therapy again ...of course I have to get a referral from my Dr to get it going forward ..I feel so down ..trying to keep my spirits up . Thank u
I'm sorry you're going through this. As you see from the success stories, this is not the way it will always be. Hang in there.
I was told that I have PPPD but then later on "early stages of cochlear hydrops" due to my aural fullnesss symptoms and fluttering hearing loss. As much as that might be more of a medically explained diagnosis, I feel like Cochlear Hydrops is also a diagnosis based on symptoms without knowing a root cause. Just a little lost on how I should be working on myself to get better
I totally agree with you- hydrops is what I think of as a "hybrid" mindbody condition. For some people- it's totally mindbody. For others, it's mediated by mindbody factors but there is some tissue damage involved that is still going to produce some symptoms. I am LONG overdue for content on this- hang in there. But you are more than welcome to the the course and ignore what I say in Step 1 about ensuring there is no tissue damage. It has long been known that stress is strongly related to hydrops attacks. The course is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Thank you for sharing. I have this swaying, rocking, wobble head feeling from the time I get out of bed until I go back. Avoid driving, going to grocery shopping, or the manufacturing facility. I walk an average of 6 miles x five days a week. Trying to defeat this feeling. I was told my symptoms are consistent with PPPD. Which is in itself an umbrella of nervous system disfunction. Can anyone share if he or she feels like your back of neck feels like a cut open? Headaches, visual sensitivity, and memory difficulty, especially short-term lapse.
I’m so sorry to hear what you’re experiencing. Usually the pain is not sharp, but I have seen it.
"Find you sooner" & i laughed for how true it actually meant! But the moment he said "thank you" twice, i held my tears..
As i held my tears, i got reminded back in time when i had been so good at suppressing my emotions that when i follow your advice to work on feeling my emotions but can't feel or even express it, i was fearful! I can held my tears now to say the least.
I watched this video standing for 3 hours in a fully crowded ancient train. Motions of swaying, bumping, knocking etc with no possible 'exit' if things went south does come across my mind but i did not hesitate wanting to be with my family for the trip just to prove my nervous system that its ok, & yeah everything is ok.
Looking back, the fears & frustrations are beyond word. Admittedly i still have some works before i can say i'm symptom free. Yet i'm resonating with Mark here: Thank you, Dr Yonit. Thank you.
First- I just want to celebrate your accomplishment with you- WOW! And your comment warms my heart. You are so welcome. I can't wait to hear that you're recovered.
I’m watching this again 8 months in. Healing slowly. Had all the tests too. All fine. Thank you for sharing
Can I ask if the body shut down scary numb feeling went? I have that too and it’s so scary I feel like I’m gna pass out it’s the most scary of the symptoms. I hope it goes my last experience of it was Friday- wishing everyone well
Yes! It went.
@@TheSteadyCoachthank you for responding that gives me hope! Did it go by gradually re engaging with life type thing. At the moment I’m still finding when I do things it happens then that sets me back as I am terrified
Going through this now. Awful good luck to everybody
It is awful!
Is the VIP coaching the same coaching you did with Mark? I’m interested I have been going through the same things since 2017
Yes, and Mark and I also worked one-on-one. I am currently prioritizing coaching members over my general waiting list, though there is still a wait for me.
Mark’s story is 110% like mine. Although his symptoms are gone, his energy and expectations are (still?) very high… hope he ‘slows’ down and doesn’t relapse.
I hope to have Mark talk about this a lot in a future interview. Because yes- high expectations and lots of pressure are not a recipe for a happy nervous system.
I agree.
I so can relate..:
Whens Marks second story coming out???
Hi Dr Yo! Would you say that if you feel the breathing exercises and the other brain exercises are making you focus on your symptoms even more in a negative way, would it be best to move to physical movement such as what mark did?
YES!
I am going on 4.5 years of dizziness and imbalance post bppv and vestibular migraine attack. I have had so many triumphs but then so many setbacks. I just want to be free of this once and for all. Help!
You will see that you are not alone on this channel, Raichel. My first recommendation is to consider taking my free course. All of my techniques and recommendations are condensed within this course thesteadycoach.com/free-course
I understand a lot with my pppd condition, but I just can’t find that ‘moment’ where it has been able to convince me and Change me from this miserable life I’m in, my sensations and symptoms are as I call it ‘winning’ I will go out and try to do ‘normal’ things but it just doesn’t seem to change and click over… 😢
I know, Charissa. I think there is a lot of work that goes into this beyond just getting back to doing normal things. People often have to do very intensive therapy and emotional healing.
I’m very similar to mark.. did he do any VRT? What did he do for his visual symptoms? Did he struggle with fatigue? Did he have any setbacks? I know, lot of questions!
No VRT at all! No specific exercises for symptoms. Completely focused on dealing with stress, anxiety and emotions. He definitely struggled with fatigue and ABSOLUTELY had setbacks!! But the trajectory kept going upward.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you! If I understood it correctly he had to stop working right? Because I see myself so much in him.. similar age.. similar mentality, I used to identify myself with how much I was doing.. I still struggle with that, lately my baseline is better but I seem more anxious and also to have more ups and downs, it’s such a difficult journey
"When you honor your feelings, it becomes easier to change the way you think". Is it so in 56:30, (there was voice overlap)?
Yes!
It surprises me very much that you even dare to drive! Im in the UK we have to surrender our licenses if we have these symptoms!
She's fully recovered and has no symptoms, so happily there's no reason for her not to drive.
I would like to know what’s wrong with me… I was told I had BPPV but when I went to physical therapy I was told it was not BPPV … I seem to only get dizzy when I am standing so idk what’s wrong with me.. when I move my head to the right I feel like a fullness in my right ear went to ENT all I was told was that it was vestibular migraines but not sure …
Take a look at this and see if you meet the criteria. czcams.com/video/rtwNNaw7dqA/video.html
So even if you have testing and they do find an abnormality…. Will this work help? I know Nichole sachs says there are normal abnormalities. Can that be for the ear also?
Yes!!!! Unilateral hypofunction can be a normal abnormality that does not cause symptoms, as can all sorts of neck issues, nystagmus, etc.
I'd be curious if you had any vaccines prior to symptom onset.
Nope. Others have, but ANY immune stimulation from ANY source can trigger inner ear stuff.
Hi just like to ask have tension headache and neck tension lost lost my balance to said is vertgrio pppd do get your balance back with vertgrio pppd thanks you so much appreciate your help
This might help.. you can recover from them, yes. czcams.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/video.html
God I wish I could work with you. I would say I'm 80-90% better but there are some times when it still flares up and still things I'm absolutely terrified to do and it's ruining my life. For example I have the job opportunity of a lifetime coming up but I cant get myself to step on a plane. I don't know what to do.

can i use headphones while at the gym working out?
Yes!
Mark how long did you actually have it..? Cause I'm wondering if the longer you've had it the harder it is too build new neural pathways...and the longer it takes..
2 years, but no, Janice, it does not matter how long someone's had it. Janine had it for 21 years and recovered in 3 months. I've had clients who had it for only a few months and took a year. It's individual and depends on many factors including the person's trauma history and support system.
Its been 4 years for me and I am seeing big improvements.
Hello mam from last one month I am feeling off balance, feeling like I am on boat, light headed ness, feel like I am gonna fall, getting nervous due to this went to doctor they say this is due to anxiety they give me anti depresent nothing is wrong with you. One doctor told me to check vitamin b12 and vitamin d3 checked I was severely deficient jn vitamin d3 but the dizziness 24/7 feeling of falling feeling off balance while walking and climbing the stair
Mam please answer my comment I am scared all people around me making fun of mine and telling rubbish to me. It even feel more when stressed and in public gathering
Mam also going through some vision being not clear symptoms please reply
All time feeling of low energy, getting exhaust after doing some work
Please Please
It sounds like neural circuit dizziness, I have lots of free resources here, please watch this video and take the course! czcams.com/video/4QDFGvHGURc/video.html
Hi, which of your programs did he sign up for?
Mark took part in my VIP coaching group. You can find more information here: thesteadycoach.com/services#group-coaching
Yup
That attack where ypu felt you had no control of yr body. Happened to me multiple times especially first time I was waiting to be unconscious any time.
Its so scary and feels so unrealistic. Those who never felt it cannot just comprehend.
I wanted results so badly that I was hoping for a diagnosis instead of not being diagnosed.
Your symptoms are copy and paste of I had 2 years ago.
I still have swaying but all other symptoms subsided or eliminated over time.
I'm glad Mark's story resonated with you, Zahra.
I am dying can you help me Dr. Yonit please
Bassem, I am so sorry to hear you're suffering- if you're really considering self harm, PLEASE call your local crisis center, or a friend or family member. There is help out there.
thanks so much for this story, Mark and Dr. Yonit. I love the recovery stories, I find hope that it can be me one day. 🩵✨
It can be, Nana!
This describes me to a T!!! Everything! 😮
Once you see yourself in someone else, it can be so much less lonely when you're dealing with these symptoms.
Do you offer consultations?
I do, but unfortunately I am not accepting new one on one clients at this time due to a prohibitively long waiting list. I do have group coaching that you can join immediately, and I also have new providers I am training, set to begin in the next few weeks.
@@TheSteadyCoach thankyou for your response, i did assume that you would be in ver high demand aha. will you post about when the other providers are available?
So..your saying the neural reaction is psychologicaly activated?
Ask Dr. Yo: are PPPD, MdDS, migraines or chronic medically unexplained dizziness psychological?! czcams.com/video/3CIB84gnJ5Q/video.htmlsi=o5s6HoKgEirTT6v4
How do I get in contact with you
Hi! You can view my services and how to reach out to me at my website thesteadycoach.com/
Isnt it weird that most people symptoms started in 2021? Can this be a collective shift and awakening for most? Most channelers mentioned this that in the end of 2020 and the begining of 2021, the world would start to go through a shift? Anyone thought this might have had something to do with it? My journey also started on January of 2021. Its been downhill after. My dizziness started 4 months ago but my weird physical symptoms started right around 2021. Any thoughts on this?
I think the stress of the pandemic and resulting isolation and social divides, plus continued declines in physical health, are responsible
Do u have ringing in ears
Tinnitus is very common among people with neural circuit dizziness issues. I don’t think mark had it though
This guy is so arrogant I can't even stand to listen to his story. All? He does is brag about how great of an athlete. He is and it's becoming a little bit tiring. Sorry to say that but it's true.
Everyone needs something to be proud of. We have all gone through so much with neural circuit dizziness… lets root him on even if we feel someone else is being arrogant. God bless u
Michelle, I think Mark showed a lot of generosity in volunteering his own time to help others with his story. He had very little to celebrate over the last few years and he is glowing with happiness now that he is feeling better. I know that can be tough to hear when people are still suffering. It is common to have at least a few people be bothered by these interviews (I see it with every single one!). That being said, I know that when I am "rubbed the wrong way" by someone, it's hitting a nerve deep inside, and I like to take the opportunity to try to figure out why. That often leads me to some useful insights.
