    I did it recovered nearly 98%. Somedays are 95% but yeah I can do everything that I was doing before PPPD. I am not pushing through my symptoms, not fighting Dizziness, I just don't give PPPD attention and I simply allow myself to give plenty of time to heal. There is no better advice than to "Do whatever you were doing before you had PPPD". Don't let fear drive you!

    Thank you for your videos! I believe I have had PPPD for three years beginning after a panic attack, but the real rocking sensation of dizziness began about 6 months ago. I was terrified that I was dying when I was just having an even scarier panic attack. The anxiety was out of control. I am now on 75mg Zoloft and have weekly psychotherapy. I also receive physical therapy which mainly focuses on simple vestibular rehabilitation exercises, eating well (low sugar low salt no caffeine no alcohol) and managing stress - I also am thought to have endolymph hydrops, which when I don’t manage, causes tinnitus and exacerbates the dizzy feeling to more like a feeling that I am going to faint especially after having caffeine. The nervous system component is huge. I have gone from 100% of my day feeling the rocking sensation and feeling completely-not-myself level anxiety to maybe noticing it about 10-20 times a day and being okay with it, my anxiety has gone down a lot. I couldn’t drive or go into a store and now I am nervous but okay with going out. I’ve gone from having no idea what triggers the dizziness and anxiety (because it felt terrible all the time) to being able to see clearly what makes the symptoms worse. When I feel down my therapist reminds me that I am still on the path to healing and I have more healing to go and I am not done. I hope someone reads this and feels hope about their situation. Give yourself a lot of compassion for all that you experience. Even though the specifics are unique to you, are not alone in this and you deserve compassion. Videos like these are a life saver. Thank you.

      I just read your post and I wonder if there is a possibility to talk about your success. I have been on a roller coaster and things are getting very bad to the point where I had to stop working. I have been from doctor to doctor and nobody can advise me what to do. It started the same as for you with panic attacks but it got bad really quickly. After MRI, CT scan, all blood testes, ENT, Neurologist, etc, I get no plan of action for improvement, they only tell me that there is nothing wrong physically and they don;t know why I am dizzy. I would really appreciate if you could spare a couple of minutes since I am at the point of desperation. Thank you very much, just let me know how I can contact you directly in case you are willing to talk about it. Your post makes me hopeful.

    I've also started on a low dose antidepressant as I am past the point of being able to calm myself down. Having massive panic attacks that are raising my blood pressure and putting me in ED.
    I don't leave the house unless it's for a medical appointment which scares me because I fear driving and I can't stand being a passenger.
    This video is very correct in that calming the nervous system is key before it starts playing havoc on other systems on the body like it has done to me.

      Your absolutely correct....I never had high bp until I was in isolation with Covid and was being blamed for infecting my family....my bp was over 200 and that's not me at all. A few months later I had a bout of dizziness but it wasn't constant and it was more of a spinning sensation. Recently I had a traumatic event with my father who had a serious medical issue and I had to spend 2 nights in hospital with him as he has early dementia as well. After this I started to get this swaying motion mostly when sitting and walking, it wasn't getting any better and it was starting to scare me and my anxiety took hold and amplified it, I thought I was having a stroke. I went to hospital, had all the tests MRI's etc and they couldn't find anything wrong....I had a visit from a neurologist in hospital and he was confident that is was my anxiety that was the culprit. I am home now and still having balance issues but it has improved as my anxiety levels come down due to doing things that I like to do....not what others want me to do, I have done that for far to long. I have negleted myself and my anxiety and it's time for a change, but Iam only taking small steps, like walking, driving and sitting in the car until the feelings of fear subside and they do and I tell myself there you go Gary your anxiety came said hello and has moved on for today. We are all wired differently but we all on the same path. I wish you and everyone going thru this all the best and remember anxiety is a part of us wether we like it or not, we just have to learn to say hello to it. Take care, Gary.

I also had regular anxiety basically your average that turned into full blown panic attacks late last year which is when the dizziness got worse. Thank you for sharing. I really need to work on telling myself the dizziness is safe. I’m going to do the exercises. I started meditation about a month ago. Did you have eye issues? Blurry vision or double vision?

      Hey Jess, I thought I had blurrred vision and got tested by a optometrist and have 2020 vision but they did find retina holes in my left eye which are totally unrelated to the dizziness (swaying motion). I suffer from anxiety and recently had a traumatic personal issue that triggered this swaying sensation and what I thought was blurry vision. I sent myself to hospital because I was so scared of what was going on, had MRI scans etc and everything was OK. I have never dealt with my anxiety and I am now 58, I strongly believe that the PPPD is all anxiety related, panic attacks and fear would give me bouts of dizziness but only for a few seconds. I'm off work at the moment waiting to see a Psychologist in late April, it's so hard to get in and see someone here in Australia. What I can tell you is that I have had anxiety since I was 40 and I am still here.....nobody has ever died from anxiety, like you I am working learning to accept that what we feel is normal, it's just how we are. I wish you and everyone else all the best on your road to recovery, we can do it. Cheers Gary

    I am convinced a lot of these problems folks have is to do with the post BPPV machinations of the CERUBELLUM. this coordinates all sensory inputs including vestibular but also including nerve returns from teeth, feet etc. The lower back of the head has a lot of nerve tissue apparently, and personally I suspect the tri-geminal nerves on my head were conscripted at an early stage by the C causing very weird tingling all around my head at night. BONKERS. I still get relief when reperforming epley about monthly when there's been no BPPV attack. Found that positional tiggers much reduced by early morning after reasonable sleep. INTERESTING: I found that during my second BPPV canalith event, blinking my eyes reset the rotate.

    Emma, you are describing perfectly how I've felt the past few years. My first thought every day is "how am I going to get through this day with my dizziness". I've felt that my docs are missing something and that at any moment I may have a catastrophic event. Just hearing you describe your experience, which mimics mine exactly, gives me hope that this is treatable. I need to start trusting my rational mind, not just my emotional mind. We'll all get through this. Thank you again for discussing this very real, and very awful topic. Being dizzy is just horrible and those who haven't experienced it will never really understand how debilitating it is. I hate that others are struggling with this, and at the same it gives me comfort that I'm not alone. Thank you Emma!

      Thank you! Our survival brains will always take over from the rational brain if we perceived a threat which is why it can feel like at times we have no control whereas if you can retrain what your brain thinks is dangerous you can overcome the stress as you learn to feel safe! Alot of people don't know this which is why so many stay stuck, but recovery and retraining the brain is absolutely possible once you know how!

    Thank you for posting these videos. They make me feel a bit less alone and gives me some hope that I can eventually be in control of my symptoms and therefore my life. I've been dizzy since Oct 2014 when I had what doctors believe was a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage. I've had so many incorrect diagnoses (Lyme, CIRS, etc) that it's difficult to trust any particular diagnosis. So even though the diagnosis of PPPD came from the Mayo Clinic, I'm still dubious. What I always say is, "I'll believe I have diagnosis X when the treatment designed to help diagnosis X actually works." Of course this gets into a chicken/egg problem. Do I have to believe in my diagnosis to actually start to feel better? So some questions either for Emma or anyone else reading this. First, "dizziness" is a very imperfect term in my case. I do not feel the earth is moving nor do I feel false motion. My dizziness does not change based on position/posture (so the second "P" does not apply to me). But it is exacerbated by the sorts of environments that everyone talks about: large indoor spaces, grocery stores, etc. I also have constant tinnitus in my left ear, ever since the dizziness started. So basically... Have you run into others with PPPD who A) has symptoms that don't change based on position, B) feels no false motion, and C) has tinnitus as a friendly accompaniment to the PPPD? Thank you.

    • @balanceyourlifenow1651
      @balanceyourlifenow1651  Před 2 lety

      Hi Garreth, hmm difficult to say based on what you have described. PPPD is essentially non spinning dizziness that is persistent and there at least 50% of the time. Everyone describes their symptoms differently. It doesn't have to be triggered by movement it could just be good one minute then bad the next. It really can be different for everyone. Another key thing is when all your medical tests come back clear and cannot be accounted for under a different diagnosis or medication. You don't have to be clear on your diagnosis to get better, you are simply treating symptoms, it doesn't matter what the label is providing you've had medical clearance

      The key here to what I notice is when you say "I keep doing these things even though I'm afraid". You have to ask yourself what are you afraid of? Nothing bad will happen to you. You are ok. Take some time each day to sit quietly with your symptoms. Even if just 5 minutes. Turn off all distractions and turn your attention inwards. How do the symptoms feel? What is it that's scary? Be curious and lean into any difficult sensations. Learn that they are safe, even if uncomfortable. You absolutely have to pay attention to what is going on in your body, simply carrying on and doing things but feeling scared the whole time won't be helpful in the long run, although it's great that you're still keeping busy. You need to change how your brain and body view the dizziness to place less emphasis on it. The dizziness isn't important or scary, its just there.
      I was dizzy all the time too, sat still, moving, trying trying do simple tasks, the anxiety was unbearable at times. When I stopped to feel what was actually going on in my body, to really trust that nothing bad will ever happen, to listen to the messages my body was giving me, I slowly but surely got better.....I now have full control over any symptoms that may arise. Any slight dizziness I get now, my body doesn't respond with that feeling of panic or anxiety. It's really no big deal. That's why it passes so quickly then i feel absolutely fine again. Learn as much as you can about your nervous system and work on calming yourself down so that you can move forward and heal. I hope this all makes sense. You will be OK and you absolutely can do this ❤🙏🏼

I had develop PPPD this year but for the last 7 years i was under alot of stress due to a hostile work environment and dealing with crazy co workers and was always constantly in a fight or flight mode . And then with more add stress from having to take care of my sick mom who passed away from cancer 2 years ago . So i haven't even had a chance to even heal or take care of my self since the last 7 years . Although i have quit that job since the Covid outbreak which has tremendously cut out alot of my stress but i still think i might have adrenal fatigue and other issues.

It Started after tapering off and anti depressant and a benzodiazepine which I took for a short time. When I spoke of the boaty waterbed sensation, I was told it was a worsening of anxiety and to get back on the medication. I got better for a year tops maybe, since that first year back on the anti d/benzo, I have been battling a worsening of the condition, at first tolerable but slowly completely disabling for all those years, trying one anti d after another. I am looking for hope.

    Helloo..What is ur opinion about some micro nutrients that support nervous system? I think about some minerals and vitamins..Like magnesium ,vitamins B and D..As I read,there is stand that majority of people are deficient in magnesium so it's main source of many problems..I find I am vitamin D extremely deficient and I have now PPPD..But its some kind related to me with gut problems and bloating...What is ur opinion about suplementation and healthy food ? Thnx

    Hi Emma. I’m finding your videos so helpful and reassuring so thank you! Could you tell me where you got the diagnosis of pppd? I’ve spoken to countless GPs and paid for a private ENT consult. Also paid for a vestibular physio who knew less than me. No one has ever mentioned pppd. I feel like it’s not a condition most medical professionals are familiar with. Thanks 😊

      No one officially told me, I think it was written in a letter but no one ever sat me down and explained. I diagnosed myself properly because it was the only condition where I matched all of the symptoms. Lots of doctors don't know what it is, PPPD has only been recognised since 2014

    Hi! Your videos have been very insightful. Whose the specialist who diagnosed you with PPPD? When I had mentioned this to my gp they had no idea what that was and mentioned BPPV.

    • @balanceyourlifenow1651
      @balanceyourlifenow1651  Před rokem

      Hi, I can't even remember I seen that many people. I was never actually sat down and told i had PPPD, it was written in a letter from a neurologist I believe and they used the terms functional neurological disorder and PPPD. BPPV is completely different and to do with the crystals dislodging in your ears. PPPD has a triggering incident and is more stress related in the most very basic sense

      Could you have an ear infection? Does the Eply Manaeuver for BPPV help at all? Try not to fear the dizziness, get yourself medica clearance and then focus on your recovery. Try not to overfocus on or catasteophise your symptoms and you're only emphasising the fear. Seek further clarity/ guidance from your Doctors if you're worried or not sure of your diagnosis

    • @balanceyourlifenow1651
      @balanceyourlifenow1651  Před 3 lety

      I would never attempt to diagnose anyone, as the above comment also suggests. PPPD is someone that reports dizziness for 50% of the time or more for 3 months or longer. Also its when your medical tests come back clear. Be sure to get an MRI scan done to rule out anything serious. Your Doctors can advise of any further tests they deem to be appropriate
