- It is such a privilege to share with you this interview with Megan. I met Megan in late 2021. She had been suffering for about 2 1/2 years from a whole host of awful symptoms, including constant swaying, dizziness, floatiness, visual symptoms, inability to focus her eyes, sensitivity to sound, head pressure, neck tension and fatigue. In this interview, Megan shares her remarkable story.

I am in shock. Literally every symptom that Megan has mentioned is exactly what i have been feeling for the past 6 months. I, too, truly thought i was dying. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I have a doctor appointment in just a few days and Im going to bring up PPPD. Truly, thank you. I have been feeling so hopeless and like I'm struggling to be a good mom while feeling this way
You are not alone! There is hope! ❤
How are you today? I am feeling the same!
This is so encouraging, I am in tears , to listen to people who KNOW what I am going through and know that there is hope ❤
There is hope Denise!!
The head pressure is currently the worst symptom for me. And the fear of the symptoms coming back is so real 😣 I’m at a point where I’m mostly living my life but I still have symptoms. This gives me hope that I can continue to feel better and better.
There is hope, Stacey!
Do you have 24/7 drunk sensation?

Oh my god this is literally my same story. Finally starting my healing process. This makes me so hopeful/optimistic.
I am so glad this resonated with you, Michelle. You are not alone in this ❤
@@TheSteadyCoach That means absolutely everything. I would love to work with you too.
My God, she is describing me 100%. Everything Megan is saying, I’ve said the exact words to friends and family. My neurologist is currently trying to help me get approved for an home health aide. I check off every symptom for PPPD yet my ENT only heard of BPPD. 💁🏽
I also never had this condition before catching a severe case of Covid this past June 22.
@@phyllisdavis3403 I totally feel for you, and know you're not alone. I also have a sneaking suspicion I had covid really badly in 2020 before people knew about it and my symptoms started after that too...
@@Ghostlove92Kat I’m praying for you my sister 🙏🏽
This condition is more prominent in women than men. I’m that exception. I tell you what, so much of this resonates with me. It has helped a lot but it’s still a process healing. I’m so looking forward to just being “me” again. Thank you for posting these videos. I was in that lonely dark place that so many others who have watched this video.
I don’t know that that’s the case actually! Half my clients are male. You are in good company. ❤️
This just gave me so much hope. It’s so hard to not want to give up on bad days.
You got this, Katelyn! ❤
Keep watching these videos and researching on this days to remind you there's a reason to not give up! If we go down the rabbit hole enough we'll eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel! These videos and just today learning about PPPD is finally the key! I've been searching for! 😊
@@Lia-ih7qu I’m actually about 80-90% better most days now 😊
The 11:00 section talking about looking back and not remembering exactly how bad it was (bad enough to have suicidal thoughts) made me very emotional listening knowing there is promise to get to the other side and be able to look back. I can't wait to be able to look back and recover from pppd. Much respect and love for sharing your story.
I can't wait to hear your story when you're on the other side, Christopher!
Oh Megan, I’m so sorry you went through such a challenging time. I can relate so so much with your story. I had to laugh when you said “is this some kind of sick joke” because I’ve absolutely had those thoughts too. Gosh, I relate so much to everything you’re describing about the emotional toll it takes on you. I also so badly wanted something to be wrong on my MRI’s because I just couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a physical issue causing all of this.
I keep editing this comment the more I listen to your story but it’s honestly so crazy to me how similar our symptoms are or were. I’m still in the thick of it all so this is giving me so much comfort and hope. I’ve had PPPD for 12 years but only just got diagnosed in the end of 2021 when I was so so desperate and sick. Thank you for sharing your story!
I’m so so sorry to hear you’re going through this as well 😢 but I promise you it gets easier ♥️ I’m so glad that I could bring you some hope
Thank you both so much this is me & I keep thinking there is no escape from the dizziness but you both have changed my mind thank you
So pleased to know of your recovery Megan. Thank goodness you found Yonit! 🙌
Not fully recovered yet! But sooooo much better 🥰 thank you
Man, it's great to not feel so alone. I've been dealing with the same for quite some time now too. Thank you for the insight and sharing your experience ❤️
You are definitely not alone. I am so glad this resonated with you ❤
So happy for you, Megan. You give us hope. You both were trying to fight back tears, but I assure you there weren't many dry eyes out here. Thank you, both. Be healthy
Thank you so much ♥️
Thank you Megan for sharing your story! I almost have all these symptoms with some additional symptoms. I took the free course and I'm working on it, for a one or two days i would feel fine but then all the symptoms keep coming back and i would freakout but I'm still doing parasympathetic breathing, journaling, VRT and balance tapping. I'll keep reporting about any improvement. Thank you so much for helping people like me❤️
Hi Sehar, so glad to hear that you took the free course! Ups and downs are a completely normal part of recovery. It sounds like you are on the right track!
Dear Yonit and Megan, thank you so much for your interview. I actually can’t believe I have found this!! Your story, Megan, is amazingly similar to mine. I could be telling my story almost word for word. I am still in the midst of it .. and I have dark days. But your interview has given me hope and I am feeling excitement for the first time in years at the possibility of healing. Like many, I’ve tried it all.. and I’ve been dismissed by medical professionals who don’t believe what I’m telling them, who say it’s all in my head and there is nothing I can do. Thank you for your story.. it is inspirational. I am so happy for you Megan and so grateful for you both.. ❤
I’m so happy you found us, Leah. There really is hope. ❤️
I am so glad you got the help you needed, it's been three years for me to finally find out I have PPPD. I am begining my journey of healing using Neuro plasticity.
Neuroplasticity is something our brains do naturally all the time. I have full faith you can get better.
Oh my god, I have every single symptom Megan described and I was going crazy. You are such an empathetic person and I have gotten so much better just watching your and dan’s (pain from you) videos and can’t wait for full recovery to happen.
YES! You will recover! And more success stories are coming!
@@TheSteadyCoach I’m so grateful for your channel and your kind heart.
What a fab interview! Ready for the follow up!!
This is such an encouraging video. I've been dealing with the same things for over 9 years. And I can name the emotional trauma that triggered it along with the traumas that have happened through the years since. This makes so much sense to me. This gives me hope.
So glad you found this video, Tobie. It truly is about addressing those emotional factors. You can recover from this.
You felt the bouncing of the flood fir 9 years?
Thank you Megan and Dr Yo, this is so encouraging and the best part is I can work on this with community help and you Dr Yo.
Megan! What a story of perseverance. I’m tracking with the same symptoms and the same process. Way to hang in there!! You are learning so much more than just dizziness recovery. I have a feeling you will embody and impart a deep wisdom to others because of what you have experienced. Bravo!!
Thank you so much for this. My symptoms started in approx 2017. I have never heard of PPPD until recently. Up until now I thought it was a vision issue. I have tried prisms, some exercises from a functional neurologist, and so many diets. This gives me so much hope! First just knowing that it’s not an eye issue and also knowing I can heal completely from this. I spent a lot of years stuck in my house and one day decided I can’t stay there anymore and started getting out. That has helped so much but I feel your channel will help me heal the rest of the way. I hope to be able to get back to driving again 👏
Wow. Thank you both SO much for doing this video. Megan your story is so inspiring. I can relate to so much of it. I particularly relate to where you were nine months ago when it seemed like there was no hope and you barely left your room. But like you, somewhere deep inside I also have a tiny little subatomic particle of hope. Some part of me knows that I can get better. I refuse to accept that this is how I will live the rest of my life. And hearing your story helps so much. I could write a book just responding to so many of the things you said! Super-sensitive, health anxiety, bad relationships, all your symptoms…But for now I’ll just say congratulations on your journey, Megan. 😊
Thank you so much for your comment! It makes me really happy to know that I have maybe given you some more hope😊
Keep on going because it definitely gets easier!
Rick, I am so glad you saw yourself in Megan's story. As far as I am concerned, there is no reason why you can't recover like she has.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks Dr. Yo. That means a lot coming from you. And I agree!
Thank you Megan for sharing your story and thank you Dr. Yo for giving her the medium to do so. You ladies, are doing the Lord’s work for sure.
This one recovery story helped me more than I can say… Although I have not had my swaying sensation for as long as Megan or as severe, I can relate so much to a lot of what she says. All the symptoms and how they would change, bouncing from specialist to specialist. I’ve listened to this at least twice in it’s entirety and in bits and pieces at moments that I’ve just needed a little reminder that it’s possible to recover. Also, I’m shocked to learn, it took Megan over a year to have 1 MRI in the UK. I had 3 MRIs in 6 months, totally unnecessary.
I’m so glad this helped you! That really means so much to me❤ and yes it’s crazy how long it took for me to get diagnosed! But I’m glad more people are learning about it!
I have had all of her symptoms for 4 years!! I can so relate to this interview. Thank you so much for all you do, it is helping me so much.
I’m so happy to hear it is helping. Joni. You can get better.
So you feel the ground is bouncing while waking?
OMG... This is my story, it has given me hope. Xx thank you both. I will start the free course today. I am in Australia.
You're so welcome! You got this!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have had this so far for 3 months. I got COVID and have had a rocking back and fourth or side to side or on a merry go round 24/7 or feel like I’m drunk and it never stops. I get very anxious when around people in stores. I don’t like going alone. I feel like I need to hold on to someone or something. I did HBO & acupuncture, different meds, lots of vitamins and no success. I finally was diagnosed with a Ear Clinic with PPPD and central vertigo. I am waiting to get into physical therapy. There is a month wait. I have lost my job now because I can’t function like this. My brain isn’t working either. I have migraine headaches and neck aches and panic attacks. I just came across this video and Dr. Yo so am going to start working with these videos for help. I have cried a lot through these last few months and so worried about my job and all of this making it worse. I live outside of Boise, Idaho and appreciate all of the info you are providing. I feel like my friends, family and work do not believe that something is wrong. It makes me feel ashamed. I have all the symptoms you do and they are 24/7. They have never gone away but only get worse. I get really bad anxiety when going in the supermarket that I don’t want to go alone. I am looking forward to being in control. Thank you! ❤️❤️
I am sorry to hear what you are experiencing, Susan! It sounds like you are on the right track! I know that this can be hard, but try to have faith. You are not alone.❤
Thank you. Your videos are helping me. As soon as I have some kind of income help, I will donate to your videos. I am not getting any pay at this time.
@@susanmoore9136 How are you doing Susan? ❤️
Welcome to my world for the past 1.5 years. You just literally listed every symptom I have. You give me hope dear Megan!
❤❤❤
Around 15 years of mind body sensations (around 15 to 20 different sensations including PPD, eye stuff, neck stuff, breathing issues, all kinds of different pain, insomnia, digestive issues and on and on). I have spent around $300,000 out of pocket and been all over the US.....finally getting better using work exactly like this and Dan Buglios work!!
You are a brave and amazing young women!! Thank you for sharing your journey!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much❤
❤❤❤
Another wonderful success story! Congratulations Megan - you give me hope as I am just starting my healing journey. Thanks so much Dr. Yo!
🥰🥰🥰
You are so welcome, Moreen! It is so inspiring to hear!
I completely understand. For those who don't know about this you look fine . It's so hard to explain. It's been 10months dealing with this myself now. Feels like your life is over. Finally got diagnosed with vm and pppd. This was brought on by chronic back pain and back surgery . I'm waiting for a day to feel completely normal. Waiting for appointments is the worse or have doctors dismiss you. I had to educate my own primary provider. They had never heard of this either. 😕 there needs to be more studies and awareness for this condition. Truly debilitating. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Like being dead when your alive. You'll have to just live with it. Nothing can be done. I'm so happy your story is positive.
Hi Carissa, I fully believe that no one should just have to live with it. I often see people like you develop these kinds of symptoms after another unexplained chronic condition. If you haven't already, I would highly highly recommend reading any of Dr. Sarno's books!
@@TheSteadyCoach true!
This sounds sooo similar to my experience, I’m 10 months in from my initial vertigo attack, trying to be patient and optimistic! Glad you’re doing well Megan!
Thank you so much for this video ! I cried because it's the 1st time I find someone who have the same symptoms as me. I was better for a few month but everything came back (at a lower lever hopefully). I will keep working hard to get back to this better time.
Thank you so much to the both of you! I can totally relate to all of this! I have been diagnosed with PPPD, VM, anxiety etc. Debilitating symptoms for 4 to 5 years. I continued to work and tried to pretend I was ok when actually I was living in complete terror! It is so isolating and lonely when medical tests are "normal" but feeling like death can occur at any moment. I have tried every treatment modality, supplement, and exercise I could find. I have spent a lot of money and traveled many miles to see multiple specialist that were of minimal or no help. Since I have found Dr Yo/the steady coach, I have been applying the strategies learned and I am finally starting to heal! I have ways to go but I have notable improvement in multiple areas of my life, not just the symptoms. I have watched every success story on this channel and each one seems to provide me with more hope and reassurance! Dr Yo, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and wisdom!
Fantastic, Jamie!!! I am sorry you had to go on this search, but I am so glad that you found this channel and are on your healing journey!
Hi, Thank you for sharing your story and also Dr.Yo. Finally, I found that what is my dizziness. One day, the CZcams automatically showed on my TV. My experience and Megan's experience are exactly same as mine . I live in Canada but I am from Japan. I went and tried to whatever both Dr.s said. I still have it but I feel gradually getting better now. This movement has been on for 3 years and 4 months now! Thank you!
You're very welcome! I am so glad that you found Megan's story ❤
I'm so happy for you Megan I've been watching your CZcams videos and seeing your progress is very inspiring. It gives me so much hope that one day we can also recover and live our lives 🙏🙏
Thank you so much. I’m so glad to hear that 🙏🏼🥰
I'm watching and crying, this is unbelievable. Going through the same thing, been almost 2 years now. Seen all the specialist, did all the test, but nothing is working, I don't have a real answer and I feel like I'm crazy. Thank you for this video. Grateful to have found it and I' m working on getting my hope back that it will be over one day.
I am so glad that you found Megan's story, Valérie. You are not alone!
Thank you for sharing this type of content, doctor. Today my 24/7 dizziness stopped. Still working on my recovery and starting to feel happy again. You're videos have helped me a lot. Much love from Mexico City. :)
Amazing to hear this. It warms my heart to know you are feeling more like yourself again!! Go live your life!!!
How did it stop??
So proud ❤ how did it stop? Can you please tell us
I'm in tears in hopes of one day being one of your success stories.
You can do this!!
Thank you so, so much Dr Yo and Megan. I cried tears of utter relief when Megan started to describe her symptoms. Her symptoms are identical to mine in almost every single way. My symptoms started in September 2021. Getting to the bottom of this has been an absolute nightmare but in the back of my mind I kept on thinking surely other people have had this too and there must be an answer. Almost two years later I have finally come across your CZcams video which has given me the answers and the reassurance that I wasn’t going crazy. After the past two years, I saw a GP, an ENT, a TMJ specialist, a neuro ophthalmologist, an optometrist, an acupuncturist, an Ayurvedic Dr, a physiotherapist, a physiotherapist who specialises in headaches, a massage therapist and a naturopath. The last three professionals have helped me immensely and I’m almost feeling 100% like my normal self again. I think gut health is a very important factor as part time of the healing process with this condition, that’s what the naturopath and I are working on. Best of health to all who is reading this.
I am so glad to hear of your progress, Seham! ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. I am anxious all my life and i think that triggered my chronic dizziness. Same experience as yours I haven't seen a doctor who knew about PPPD. It makes me anxious even more. Your story makes me hopeful that it is still possible to be normal again.
I am so glad that Megan's story resonated with you, Demei. It is possible to recover. ❤
Thank you for this interview. It’s giving me hope that someday I will get over this. I relate to so much of what Megan describes. Although, Instead, mine started with severe vertigo that landed me in the hospital for 4 days. After Lots of tests and scans and spinal tap. They told me i had vestibular neuritis and it most likely damaged my vestibular nerve. Two months later after a VNG and other testing they said I had 68% hypo function do to vestibular nerve damage.
I’ve thrown up countless times in the initial four months experience. I’ve since learned to deal with the constant hungover nauseous feeling without getting throwing up. but it is still so difficult.
I’ve been to three different PTs over the 3-1/2 years and I’ve developed a severe fear of falling do to the 7 falls I’ve had. I even tore some muscles in my shoulder and needed to stop seeing PT for the dizziness and instead started seeing a PT for my injured shoulder. I realize anxiety is a huge part of this but I can’t get around the fear of hitting my head or breaking my elbows and wrists. My neurologist has put me on an SSRI and propranolol to help with the anxiety but It has not helped my fears at all. It’s still an insurmountable challenge. I’m hopeful that the things I’m doing on my own now will help more than the crazy things they were having me do… (I’ve run out of PT sessions until next year)
I believe in you. You really can get better. I have worked with many people who had unilateral hypofunction. Your brain can compensate for it.
Thank you both for sharing your wisdom, insight and experiences. Megan, your honesty and vulnerability are such an asset to your story. Thank you both for helping so many of us all over the world.
Thank you for the kind words, Karoline ❤️
Thank you🙏🏼😊
Thank you, Megan and Dr. Yo. I have pppd and on top of it, just had two brain surgeries, so the symptoms are the same, but more intense. Currently on a walker because of it. My dr said I can still heal in time and get my balance back. I definitely need to work on my anxiety and sleep issues. Will do the breathing technique. Thank you!
Glad enjoyed Megan's story, Jeanne. I'm so happy your doctor is giving you encouragement and support!
I was literally getting ready to ask if Megan had ear fullness and as I was typing, you brought up her ear fullness!!! Thank God for both of you!!! I have been searching and searching for answers. Mine symptoms definitely increased after one stressful event after another along with chronic anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing this information!!
It’s really like Megan is giving voice for all of us struggling with this terribly! And you & she of course give us hope through your words thanks a ton for that❤️ I literally cried at few points in the video 😅😅 but yeah, we got this guysss!!!!
Love from India 🇮🇳
Loads of love to this channel and all of us❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been following you for a while and am amazed how your approach to chronic dizziness resembles mine.
I am a mind/body therapist, British but living in France and suffer myself from PPPD.
I coach people in French, helping them to get on the road to recovery using similar techniques. Thank you so much for all you do.
OMG! Please email me!! info@thesteadycoach.com I have some viewers who speak French who would love to work with you!
please tell me where are you located in france?

Hi. I do video sessions here in France.
@@PPPD-vertiges i live in toulouse! can we work together
I cried so much seeing this video. THIS IS ALSO MY STORY! I've been burnout for the past 9 months and having ALL of the exact same symptoms as Megan. I've been to a neurologist related to the pressure in and on my head and the dizzyness but he couldn't find anything. The people in the burnout Facebook group are very loving but nobody had the same symptoms as me. Hearing Megan's story gives me so much hope!!! There is someone with the exact same symptoms who is cured Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!!!! Greetings Ingrid from The Netherlands
You can get better, Ingrid!
Hi Ingrid, are u sensitive to noise like Hyperacusis?
I'm super dizzy and in Florida! lol So many of Megan's symptoms but never been diagnosed even though I've seen every specialist and had so many scans....currently about to start my journey of journaling...been devouring all of your videos and all of the success stories. I signed up for your free program AND the free trial on Curable. I'm ready to regain myself or a new and improved version of myself again!
I feel just how Megan felt. I also want to be a success story. I was out of work the last month and a half. I am back now and struggling. I am definitely not giving up. Thank you both!!😍
You are doing so well! I was out of work for about two years! You can totally do this🥰
You can do it, Lisa! Keep us posted!
Thank you for posting this … I’m going through it now since September this year… I feel so bad because my kids are home on they Vacation and I literally cook really and have them serve themselves as I walk fast to my room to lay down 😭😭😭
My head just feels so heavy and I just feel so tired 😭 including having all the other dizzy symptoms 😭
Trying to take care of kids while you are feeling this way is a terrible situation- you are not alone in that. But one of the people I've seen make the fastest recoveries did so with 2 kids at home. You can do this.
This sounds exactly like me! Down to every little detail of symptoms etc 😳 this gives me hope. Thank you!
It’s so good to know you’re not alone ❤️
Same here
Wow… she’s describing my symptoms exactly. I need to start your program. Been dealing with this for years. I’ve been close to recovered before but never completely and will have symptoms reappear during periods of stress
Feel free to take my free course on healing chronic dizziness thesteadycoach.com/free-course. All of my techniques and recommendations are condensed within this course and it is completely free!
This video have been SO encouraging to me, I no longer feel alone (insert crying emoji here) THANK YOU!
I am so glad that you found this video! You are not alone!
This gives me so much comfort because I had every single one of these symptoms and a few more. I would love to work with you. I literally feel like she is describing me. I’ve been dealing with this for 3 years now. The last 7months have been worse than usual. I hope I can work with you.
I am glad that you resonate with Megan's story. You can learn more about my coaching and services at thesteadycoach.com
Im so happy you recovered, im still unfortunately still battling with mine. I actually have the same symptoms but i was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis, but i feel for you, They are terrifying.
Yes, it's an awful feeling
I'm only just starting my journey towards mending myself, thank you for this video it gives me a slight hope.
You're welcome! There is hope!
Oh gosh thank you Yonit and Megan. I can relate SO MUCH to this video and it is literally amazing hearing about you getting through this Megan and to hear where you are now.
I had automatic tears lots through this video. So lovely to hear such a positive end to your story.
Megan-your written comment about feeling claustrophobic in your own body made me say ‘Omg’ because I had this for so long. I just longed to be able to feel at peace inside and be able to enjoy spending time alone ‘in my body’ and feel at ease.
Dr Yonit, I hope you feel forever proud for what you do for this community. You help us find answers when there are none in our everyday lives when we initially see medical professionals .
My wish for the future is that medical professionals learn about this and can give people the tools to heal and the positivity that you CAN heal.
Thanks both and good luck with your future coaching Megan, it will be lovely to have more people helping like Dr Yo and spreading the word and help over the world !!
Please do a world tour Yonit, 😊I’m midlands UK 🇬🇧! X
Thank you so much for your comment!
I’m sure many people can relate to your story as well 🥺♥️
Hey I’m also in the midlands!! 😆
@@Megan_Jennifer Oh wow!! I’m in Redditch. I also waited SO long to see a neurologist whose letter back to GP basically said I was just ‘overwhelmed with anxiety’
The UK definitely needs more people who understand all this!! X
@@Zippy177 what!!?? That is AWFUL I’m so sorry. Yes I totally agree the UK neurology departments definitely don’t know much about this.
Hi Gill, I knew you'd love this interview! One of my longer term projects is to create resources for professionals who are working with people who have dizziness.
I wish I could say it was shocking to hear this, Gill, but I've heard such horror stories from patients about what their doctors have told them.
I have all of those symptoms and some, could be my story. Difference being im older 53 and had to go on a snri as i at my lowest ever. Now i can function, am driving, interacting with my kids (i could only manage a few mins conversation also)supermarket shopping and watching tv etc
Was also interested to hear you had the brain zaps, I had my first one the other week, was absolutely intense like my brain was trying to reconnect. I also have had the vertigo spells lasting an hour and my heart rate used to sit in the 90s, highest it got was 112. It has calmed down now and the BREATHING and SOMATIC TRACKING IS A GAME CHANGER DR YO!! I am doing the course and enjoying it, never thought I'd enjoy anything again.
I cried hearing your story Megan, I'm absolutely so happy for you.
Dr Yo I believe you are an angel saving lives also.
I hope to one day when im healed to complete my counselling degree that PPPD took away from me at the end of my first year and specialise in pppd also.
Thankyou both and bless❤
I believe in you! ❤
@@TheSteadyCoach thankyou
I can relate to your symptoms. I was diagnosed in 2008 with vestibular migraine. It was complete hell and took forever to get a diagnosis. It’s been up and down. Stress definitely triggers my symptoms. I had several huge stressful events, husband’s cancer diagnosis, daughter diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I have always been told by my neurologist that I will always have this and learn to deal with it. After seeing your video, I believe there is hope after all these years.
There is hope, Nancy!
I started crying when you did the jaw massage motion bc that’s me non stop and people always ask what’s wrong ?? I just say TMj. I slather my neck and jaw in tiger balm
Meghan wow wow wow. This is motivating me. There is healing at the end
This video has really showed me it’s all going to be ok. Megan described every symptom I have especially numbness and feeling like you’re having a stroke. It can be absolutely terrifying but this has helped me realise I’m safe. Aswell as head pressure which also made me feel like I had a brain tumour which is brutally distressing.
I would never wish what I have on anyone but at the same time it’s a relief to hear that I am not the only one…..
Her symptoms are basically exactly the same as mine.
I’ve had every test done and seen multiple specialists and have been diagnosed with MD and pppd. If Megan saw the same doctors I have seen she would have been given the same MD diagnosis.
I started with a strange head pressure without pain for years (started in grad school) then developed a serious struggle with panic attacks and anxiety……then around the same time as Megan I had a few very strong vertigo attacks, also waking up occasionally with vertigo……these attacks caused me to develop pppd….this has lasted for about ~3 years now….
Discovering this CZcams channel is a life saver……
I am actually from Florida but have been living in Japan…my diagnosis has come from Japanese doctors…..it has been a wild experience….
You are not alone on this channel. There is hope! ❤
This channel is life saving for me. Thank you for sharing so much information you help me go trough my daily life every day with those videos. I have vertigo 24/7 and started because of stressful events… I wanna work on myself and do normal stuff and this channel help me a lot
This is very similar to my story. Living on a boat. Feeling like walking on a trampoline. Visual disturbances and other weird symptoms (occasionally it felt like the inside of my skill was wet). I’m much better now.
I am so glad this resonated with you, Michael! So great to hear of your progress as well!
How did you get better?
I second what Judith said. I’m so happy for you Megan! Xx
Thank you so much ☺️ ♥️
Megan, you are a brave girl! So happy that you are finally healed and of course you would've done it without Dr Yonit. Thanks for sharing your story which is definitely my own story too. I was crying watching this interview..I was diagnosed with MDDS this year 2022. I suffered from this dizzeness and balance issue since 2020. I am hoping that I will be healed also and get back to my normal self..I have so much Faith.🙏🙏🙏
I can't wait to hear your success story as well!
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Glad this channel is doing amazing things, unfortunately a lot of ppl who suffer from this aren’t getting the support or help they need. Cawthorne Cooksey exercises, mild walking and breathing exercises definitely help!
Happy for you Megan!
I am so happy to watch this Megan and Yonit😍. Megan, your story is testament to how effective Dr Yo’s guidance with this condition can help us on the road to recovery .What you have been through in the last few years has been so hard, but you have got it all under control. You’ve been a good support to me over the past few months, answering my various questions etc…wishing you all the best with your coaching and thank you for sharing your story with us x
Thank you so much!!!! ♥️♥️
Watching the video.... those are all my symptoms as well - and it is so scary! I have good days and bad days. I have ocd and chronic anxiety (have since being very young, the pandemic kinda pushed me to my limit and I developed pppd). It's so great to see that I'm not on my own and that I can recover from this!! ❤️
@@Megan_Jennifer what other exercise do you recommend besides breathing?
💚 Thank you both! I’m in tears. My symptoms started in 2017 and hit violently in 2019. I had to drop out of a masters program, I sold my car, all my children moved out at the same time due to my “illness,” couldn’t work, and have spent 3 1/2 years in my bedroom. After all the tests and lack of care and support, I am headed to Johns Hopkins in July for more testing. I wish I found you earlier. My body is worn out from the physical torture AND the lack of understanding AND lack of support. This is the first time I have felt like I might be ok. Blessings to you and your work🦋
You are ok. Please dive in to the content here. More testing may not be the answer.
good luck. I have a telehealth call with dr murphy at john hopkins next week. Hoping to find answers myself
I hope you get better. It's sad when you don't get support from family. That is tragic.
How are you now?
Are doing better?
Thank you for this. I have a verbatim story, but identical. Today was a day I felt I can’t carry on, but your story inspired me to keep at it.
Keep going! There is hope!
Great success story!
It is ❤️
I found it very interesting when she mentioned the time of year when her symptoms improved. My symptoms started in November 2021 then suddenly began improving in the summer around July 2022. I almost felt completely normal until September when they all flooded back again. I always start to freak out about the Holidays starting in the fall. I can never tell if that's the trigger or if I get triggered from knowing I feel lousier in the Fall/Winter.
Our bodies certainly do respond to the changes in the season. Sometimes, the brain falsely attributes "danger" to the change and that's the explanation. I do always think to myself, hm, what else goes on in people's lives when the seasons change? Having lived in cold climates for a while, I remember my life getting smaller, having less social interaction, feeling more stress and just generally being more miserable when the seasons changed. I think the lack of sunlight is also a big factor. It's not the cause, of course, but it can contribute to us being a little less resilient to stress than normal.
Idk how i came across your page but i suddenly got dizzy after a cold and on going cough i fixed that and than became dizzy in april i literally did ct,mri went too different hospital even at hospital i work at switch doctor it subsided i still had everyday some days nothing than boom its been like since feb bk and same way was before i feel exactly like you lord imma drop dead they can’t find issue smh im so happy i found you 😊😊
Dr. Yonit, thank you so much for this video. And Megan, thank you for sharing your story. I relate so much to what you've gone through as I've been suffering from chronic dizziness for almost 2.5 years. For me it's always when I'm still and laying down, and I feel better when I'm walking or in a car. I've also had a lot of stress and health anxiety, and have basically been living in my sympathetic nervous system for most of my life. I'm doing all the things you suggest - deep breathing, yoga, living my life - but it hasn't budged and is incredibly hard to live with. Still trying, though, and very glad to hear you made your way out of this.
Megan: did you feel worse when reading/using screens? That's a huge trigger for me, and makes my brain feel like it's moving/pulsing even worse.
Dr. Yo: I've had numerous doctors see a nystagmus & convergence insufficiency in my eyes, and am currently seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist who follows Dr. Zelinsky's method from the Mind Eye Institute. She has me wearing "brain glasses" as a way to retrain my brain. Are you familiar with this at all? If so I would love to hear your thoughts. I'm having a hard time understanding if the dizziness is a physical issue stemming from my eyes, a nervous system disregulation, or a mix of both. The glasses are super unpleasant but I've gone down so many paths and just desperately want to get better.
Yes I did feel worse looking at my computer!! If I was on it for a long time
Hi Chrissie, I definitely have a bias here because I am not an opthalmologist or optometrist, but in my view, convergence insufficiency does not explain your symptoms. Convergence insufficiency is a very common issue in modern day due to our lifestyles and the vast majority of people have no symptoms. This reminds me of when chronic back pain is blamed on a spinal disc issue, when the majority of people have disc issues and no pain. I have not seen people get better with eye training approaches to their symptoms- but in all fairness, people usually get to me as a last resort, so my sample may not be representative. It sounds like you're still suffering from the aftermath of stress (and maybe some childhood difficulties?) that are keeping your brain in fight or flight mode despite your activity level. I would focus on those things. The breathing and yoga are wonderful but they are not going to resolve underlying issues from your past.
@@TheSteadyCoach how do we resolve issues from our past and get our brains out of fight or flight mode? Do you have a video on that? 😊
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks so much for your input, I appreciate it. The idea of being stuck in fight or flight resonates, but yes I'd love to know how to get out of this as well! I've been in therapy for years, long before the dizziness started (long-term anxiety, OCD, depression), and feel like I'm constantly working on myself, but with no results re: the dizziness. It's always there, always the same. Do you have a particular type of therapy you recommend for patients like me? I did have hypnotherapy recommended by a friend - do you have any thoughts on that?
@@Megan_Jennifer Was there anything you did in particular that helped you with this?
Wow this is exactly what I experienced, thank u , it all makes sense now, been experiencing this for 2 years now
Thank you so much for this video!
You're very welcome, Ragsak!
I literally have EVERY SINGLE symptom Megan had!!!! 😢😢😢 I feel like this interview was me talking. Ugh!!! I’ve also had this for 3 years and seen every single dr and test out there.
this interview was so eye opening for me and gave me hope!! I pray I can heal like her!!! Did she work one on one with you? Or just do your free course? I want to do everything she did!!
Lol!! I worked with Yonit one on one and took the course too 😇😇
@@Megan_Jennifer Thank you!!
I believe in you, Ashley!
@@Megan_Jennifer I hope and i wish to work also with Dr. Yo for my recovery but i dont know how because Im from the Philippines
Me toooo same symptoms.. I always think I'm the only one...
I literally have tears watching you. I have had a lot of trauma over years. First symptoms started post cruise but over a number of years starting in 2022 I have had symptoms not cruise related and thought I was going crazy, thought I was going to die, have even been taken to hospital and told that I had an NSTEMMI due to increased troponin, I told them that I thought I was having a stroke as it was my head, I couldn't walk straight, I felt like I was falling particularly when laying down which set of panick. 2 other trips to hospital after same feelings, told SVT. Sent to cardiologist and nothing wrong with my heart. Most recently high stress and symptoms have started again, the falling feeling scares me. I have also been to have ears checked as i get severe ear aches particularly before periods but nothing wrong with my ears. My GP has started me on ant depressants and valium and believes i have MDDS. I just hope it stops or I may need to go live on a cruise ship :p
Oh, I am so sorry, Michelle. You are on the right channel! There is hope!
I had a year in 1976 of such severe psychosis I believed I was possessed by demons, my vision was double, cross-eyed, hallucinating scenes from the holocaust ... utterly lost and terrified until I finally collapsed and had a transformational near-death experience. I know how lonely the ordeal of chronic dizziness can be... I have had it since 2014, and after a year and a half of PT still struggle with it. You deserve more than a purple heart for your bravery.
Megan , I really feel for you because i could really relate to what you went through. I have this constant swaying-on-the-boat feeling. I feel it more when in a resting state and even when laying down trying to sleep thereby i don't much sleep. I can also relate to the heaviness when I walk my body feels as if I am walking with extra weight and feel tipping over. Funny that you mentioned feeling better in the car because i feel the same its movement is distracting. Megan so many things you have mentioned resonate with me even the visual aspect affecting your perception of the world. I went to so many doctors, Ent, Neurologists, Mri, general gp, chiropractors, and physical therapists. Nothing is working. The only abnormal blood work back in June was a low ferritin (iron storage) count, yet I take iron supplements and had a fusion about 3 months ago thereby would be feeling better.
The neurologist could only suggest that i am suffering from central vestibular vertigo. and the neck doctor says i have some degenerative. Yet I have to say I have had major stress prior to this condition. I had a rough couple of years, I was living far away from home away from my immediate family, and also in a rough marriage, he put me through chronic stress.
Megan I would love to hear from you if possible to seek advice in starting in recovering ..I am also a fellow Sag =) Dec 1 we are survivors. Thank you for doing this video it is very inspiring, it's truly a blessing.
Hi Caroline, Megan started with the principles I talk about on this CZcams channel! Losing fear of symptoms- understanding what’s causing them- working through emotions. The free course is a great place to start. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Hey fellow Sag!!
Like Yonit said I did start with everything she talks about.
Parasympathetic breathing, somatic tracking and VRT were the main things I used in the beginning.
Then as I felt like I was able to go out into the real world I dropped VRT.
I continue to use parasympathetic breathing to this day!
I'm in this for 9 years. I think I need you. I'm in Germany. Thank you ❤
Hi Carmen, there is hope! Please check out my free course if you haven't already thesteadycoach.com/free-course or see the services that I offer on my website thesteadycoach.com/services/
Thank you Megan! You described my story except I do have light sensitivity too. It was such a relief to hear that you recovered. Did you join a small coaching group? I have spent all my savings on different therapies and programmes and you said it cost you nothing?
Thank you ! I’m not 100% recovered yet but getting close 🥰 I did have Dr Yonit as a one-to-one coach so that cost me something! I meant in terms of neuroplasticity programs, I didn’t buy any of those 😊
I relate so much to what Megan went through. I have the same exact symptoms as her and I’ve been going through it now and I have been dealing with it for 7 months now. I have really bad anxiety as well as health anxiety and stress before it started and it has gotten worse since the dizziness started. I’ve gone to the doctors so many times and everything has come out normal and i feel like a crazy person because I feel like they don’t know what I’m talking about. They even recommended anxiety meds but I don’t want that to be my first resort. I even started losing hope just like Megan. I’ve been such an emotional person because I just want this to go away and even just started therapy but even therapists never have heard of being this dizzy before. I just want to feel better and have my own success story.
Hi Melanie, you are not alone in this ❤. I know that this is hard, but I do believe you can heal and have your own success story.
We both are on the same boat..
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏❤️
You made me realize that I can heal too ❤
Yes!!
All I can say is thank you...😢
♥️
Wow! This gives me so much hope - and I’m about to give up. Been struggling with rocking, swaying, pulling and other strange sensations for nine months now. The docs can’t help me - as all their tests are normal. I don’t know what to do!
Me too and how are you feeling now
All my tests came back normal. I think we just have to keep active. Walking as much as we can as well as constantly doing the breathing exercises until our nervous systems get back to normal. It’s a marathon not a race
Omg it’s crazy you said that you’re in Florida . I’m actually in Florida’s too, I’m curious what city you live?
I could relate to Megan so much with almost everything she was going over , kinda like we’ve lived the same life. It’s been almost 2 years since dealing with this. I’ve been following you the last few weeks and I’ve been able to self diagnosed and been able to start my healing journey . I am very grateful for your channel! I would love to one day be able to do a success story too 🙌🏾😩
Orlando area! And I'm so happy you found us!
@@TheSteadyCoach ohh that’s awesome , I’m in palm beach county so a few hours away . Thanks for all that you do!
It’s only been about 3-4 weeks since I’ve started my healing journey and I’ve seen such a big difference in a lot of things . I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thought I was going to be like this forever but now I’m finally starting to live life again . God bless you and everyone else out there that’s bringing awareness to this condition! 🙏🏾
i think ive cried at every sucess story....and to see lovely megan who ive seen on utube and in groups...❤ i think i remember you when mine 1st started end 2019 or so..i think you also sang?

TY TY TY lovwly ladies such beautiful souls...❤
Megan is so tough! I’ve been dealing with dizziness for four months and currently have been diagnosed with vestibular migraine and PPPD. I went through terrible vision such as double vision, and blurry vision. Double vision is gone but I still have blurry vision with the supermarket isles. I also have terrible brain fog. I dealt with the tilting and spinning of room but that seems to be gone. I think my neuropathway is messed up and my brain is trying to recoup with living with dizziness. I still have a migraine at the back of my head. Constantly. I’ve seen an ENT doctor, two neurologists, 3 PCPs, 3 eye specialists, and I’ve had an MRI of my head, neck and spine. MRAs, cat scans. I’ve seen neuropthopthomology. Everyday I feel like I’m not here and I am. I hope to get better soon. Currently just taking SSRIs
Also all kinds of blood work. EKG too. VNG tests. That came out normal. Vestibular rehibilitation. It’s been hell
Please consider taking my free course on healing chronic dizziness. You are not alone in this. There is hope! thesteadycoach.com/free-course
how are you doing now

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have the same symptoms! It's scary!! My eyes move by themselves, they can't focus and now have memory issues also. Everytime I'm dizzy, all the other symptoms get worse. Neurologist gave me otc supplements and told me to come back in four months.
You can recover!
Yup, had the exact same t hing last fall when my problems developed. I remember, pulling the curtains back in my bedroom, and when I'd look up in the night sky, I 'd see the stars moving, and I thought something was really wrong, but the problem at that level went away after at time. Yes, I do understand, you are not alone in this. I'm better than I was, but it definitely is a Journey. - keep the faith. You'll get better very slowly over many [Months] as I am finding out. - Peace. \\//
Thanks so much for sharing your message. I finally found Dr yo and your journey about your illness and healing. I've been trying to find people to help me as well. I'm getting better slowly, but knowing this will help me to heal faster. I've been dealing with this for 2 and half yrs. God bless you. I not crazy after all...
Hi Steady Coach, I’ve just found you, don’t know your name yet, but I would love a consultation with you. I have been through a lot of what Megan has been through. You are a God send!!
Hi Andie! You can find out more information about my services on my website thesteadycoach.com/
I’m going through this about 1.5 years. See No hope or help yet. I get it. I cannot do daily tasks. So tired of doctors just not listening to me and how bad I can’t keep going on like this. I can do absolutely nothing 99% of the time. Hold on to furniture and doorways to get around the house. My house looks like a disaster area. I’m at my wits end.
I'm very sorry to hear that, Karla. You really can recover from this. Don't give up.
Wow I was dianosed with vertigo years ago I always taught I was in another place I stay stressed worried lonely maybe hope yep but thanks so much both of you I’m so proud of your accomplishments
super super amazing interview. what are the books you guys talked about? I would love to look into them :)
The body keeps the score, when the body says no, the divided mind…
Lots of books about mind/body conditions! :)
I can one hundred 💯 percent resonate with this as I myself still going through this 😢.. it's been four years for me now this swaying/ rocking dizziness and it can be really frustrating at times, well it was really frustrating and saddening in the beginning for me but these days I've learned to accept this as I still hope and the rest of us to overcome this stupid dizziness. All of her symptoms and more I had also and more..
I'm glad that Megan's story resonated with you ❤
Thank you for this. The one place where I feel really good (except when lying down) is also in a car!
Yes, this is common. I explain more behind why in this video czcams.com/video/6mPKiOa7VQ8/video.htmlsi=0pvnuVi7uQv2sIvr
