5 Minutes of Vestib: Optokinetic Head Roll Exercise for MDDS

[@KarenHD]

Thank you!! I had MDDS from a cruise that lasted two weeks about three years ago. I was miserable and didn’t know what to do to make it stop. I took a 4 hour flight last week that was almost non stop turbulence and somehow that triggered the same issue as the cruise. I couldn’t survive another week with it so I went searching for a treatment. This worked for me and I couldn’t be more grateful.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

SO glad this helped you, YES!!

[@jakesmith6702]

After suffering for 2 weeks, my symptoms were reduced by 80% within hours. By the next day I was 100% OK. Thank you!!

[@CieslarDeny]

What goal should I focus on from the screen? look at the center? or on all at the same time or on one strip from left to right?

[@carolinehorwood3947]

This truly changed my life. For the first time since being diagnosed with MdDS I feel like I am back on solid ground and have started to get back to my normal life. I wish I could reach through the screen and give give you a hug! THANK YOU!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have had MDDS since returning from a cruise over 11 weeks ago. Nothing else I've tried made any difference (including Clonazepam and some other vestibular exercises) but after doing this 4-6 times a day for about 5 days my symptoms have subsided significantly, and I almost feel back to normal. It is such a huge relief. So happy I found this video!

[@chengyi7777]

I've had MdDs and Vestibular Migraines for 5 years. I must say that the information you've shared on your website and channel has made more sense and done more for me than any doctors/specialists that I've been to and with no cost! I must confess I haven't done this exercise 8 times in a day, more like 4-5 times a day. I could tell right away it was working and now 4 days in my dizziness has been coming down in intensity. I play my favourite 4 minute song (which is ironically called "Dizzy") and do this exercise to the beat. Thank you so much for all that you do and for freely sharing it with the world.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

That is AWESOME, and I am thrilled to hear you're feeling better. And thank YOU for sharing your experience. I believe that stress and fear have a lot to do with why people end up with these conditions, so reading comments like yours directly combats the symptoms.

[@pratheephaselvaraj5462]

I had this rocking dizziness for a month. I couldn't identify what kind of dizziness I had. I was feeling normal while driving or walking and feeling dizzy while sitting. I went to many hospitals(eye hospitals and ENT) and no one could understand what I was trying to say. I was going crazy. Even vertigo tablets didn't help. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I was afraid I had a serious disease which doctors couldn't even diagnose. since I had never experienced dizziness previously I thought every dizziness is like this rocking feeling later I realized that this rocking dizziness is different and found that I had MDDS. I felt like I was always on a boat. Later I found this helpful video. I am very much thankful for this video. I did this head roll exercise as said in the video. the symptoms reduced drastically. I am feeling good and healthy now. thank you. you are my saviour. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your success with me! There will be many other people who see your comment and have hope that they can recover! I am so thankful this video helped you.

[@loveconquersall143]

This definitely gives me hope. I've had MDDS for about 3 years 24/7 and it is so awful 😞 My partner/carer just died unexpectedly too - which is definitely making things worse. God bless him. He tried to help me and to be there for me. I hope that in his honour & legacy, that I will eventually get better.

[@chrissiewebb]

@@loveconquersall143 Louise - your comment really touched me. I am so sorry your partner died and that you no longer have his support, and that you're suffering with this horrible illness. I've had chronic dizziness for 2 years now and it is incredibly debilitating, isolating, and emotionally painful. My husband has been my carer and support system as well and has helped me through this time; I can imagine your immense grief and am very sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to carry all his help and love with you forward through your life. I would love to know if you got any relief after trying this exercise. I am starting today and trying to keep my expectations low (nothing has helped me in the past) but am hoping it worked for you. Wishing you the best.

[@earthtokara]

Suffered for about a week with MsDd and I must say, this has helped tremendously! I will continue to do the exercises but from what I can tell of one go, I’m feeling so much better! It was so odd the way my body came to realize I was steady, my entire body relaxed and my stomach wasn’t as tight as it had been. I’m not holding my breath, but I really want to encourage those who are unsure to just try it! Good luck everyone!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

That's awesome, Kara! It's really helpful for people to see that others have gotten better, so I really appreciate you posting.

[@kcastrop]

Hey! I’ve been suffering on and off for 2 years and am curious how you knew which direction to face the stripes and how many times per day you did this?

[@earthtokara]

@@kcastrop hey! I just took a guess and worked it to the right. I keep having reoccurring issues so I’m now trying them at different times going different ways. I’m wishing you the best, this stuff is awful.

[@earthtokara]

@@TheSteadyCoach I’m just so happy that I found your channel. I’m kinda at a loss now though because I’m not “dizzy” anymore normally, but I am seeing things in a dream-like state. Moving my head around makes my stomach sick and I’ve got basically no appetite. I’m still doing these exercises as an attempt to stop this “dream vision” (almost feels like I’ve smoked pot, the way it slightly changes the appearance of the world). I’ve been doing a lot of reading about shallow breathing and how it affects the body. It made me aware of the fact that I often hold my breath, like I’m always bracing for some sort of “impact”. I think my fight or flight response triggered the original episode, but is it possible that this sort of breathing would cause my vision to be distorted? It’s been about two months of this on and off (some days I can drive and notice nothing, some days I have trampoline legs and can’t hardly get around), but mostly I feel like I’m in a daze and I’m just really tired and unable to eat. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated as I don’t have a doctor that fully understands or seems confident in their ability to help (medical doc or therapist). Thank you for all that you do!!!!!

[@earthtokara]

@@kcastrop also I did it ONE time to make it go away for several days. Since it’s returned I continue to just do it on bad days, around 3 times per day. I do it in a room with low lighting and I try to control my breath from my diaphragm while doing it. I hope this helps you!!!

​@@loveconquersall143think It means go back n forth AND pause in middle

[@suzannemartin6817]

If you think about a song that has a clear rhythm, maybe with drums. you can hear the beat usually and count 1,2,3,4. That's the beat. so she wants you to use a metronome app (it just makes a click noise at whatever speed you set it at to help you keep the beat and thus the pace at which you do the movements) I think she said set it at 10 beats per minute or maybe 6?) That means that in the space of 60 seconds it's going to click 10 times (listen to the video again cuz it might be 6 times per minute) So when you do the head movement she wants you to go through the full movement (left, center, right, center) one time in between each click on the metronome. so, start the metronome, look at the stripes and when you're ready start your movements as soon as the metronome clicks. When the metronome clicks, start you motion (left, center, right, center) and be done before the metronome clicks again, but not way before. The idea is to do the motion at a very steady speed doing the entire movement one time in between the clicks. Keep going until your timer goes off after 3-5 minutes. I hope that helps.@@loveconquersall143

The First 2 times i did it the rocking really felt almost disappear. The next day it came back. There were days it was hard and other day abit better. But i continue finishing until 5th day. After the 5th i can say it reduced 50%. I remember you said be kind to yourself. And i did. whenever i feel the sensation or While doing some simple yoga and light workout i keep telling my self: its okay brain we are okay now. We are at land we are not moving.its okay lets learn again together. It was reducing bit by bit day by day. I got it on last 23 Oct 2022 after a diving course( i didnt have sleep the night before it and was so scared and panicky underwater) Now i'm happy to share that i am okay now! Shelves in stores and swirling water in the sink no longer triger me. This mdds things was so confusing and frustating. Your works really help many people and me. GOD BLESS YOU♥️

Despite having all sorts of medical exams taken (MRI, infrared videonystagmoscopy, stabilometry, you name it), no doctor ever diagnosed me with MdDS, and yet I believe I have it. It's triggered by cruises, but in recent years by trains and aeroplanes too. I've just come back from my longest cruise so far and I'm giving these exercises I try because I cannot seem to cope with the rocking boat feeling. Started yesterday and I'm feeling a little nauseous, but I want to keep trying for 5 days as suggested by Dr. Yonit. Wish me luck!

It’s been about 15 years since I’ve been on a boat regularly, so imagine my surprise after getting off a five day cruise four days ago and I feel like my head wants to tip me over to the right, the bed feels like I’m floating on an air mattress in the middle of the lake, and every time I turn my head I feel like tipping over the direction I looked.

@@TheSteadyCoach FWIW, one of the studies says, "The patients were instructed to stare passively at the stripes; they were instructed prior to the study on how to look straight in front of them without following the stripes movement with their eyes or starting at a fixated dot." (I think maybe that "starting" near the end of the sentence was supposed to be "staring.")

Where should we be trying to focus our eyes? For example do we watch the stripe until the end of the screen then move back to the beginning or maybe loosely focus somewhere in the middle of the screen? Thanks!!

Great question! Just a loose focus in the middle of the screen is fine. Your eyes will naturally follow some of the stripes toward the end and automatically adjust back to center. I’ll tell patients sometimes to just pretend they are counting the stripes.

Hi! I started this exercise after 1 month of perceived bobbing up and down so I guess that is more of a front to back motion. I was on an airplane for 8+ hours and had a very turbulent flight due to the trade winds. We had some very deep plunges. I actually was really chill. I slept during part oft he flight and wore my Air Pods Pro earbuds for most of the flight. I chewed gum for most of the trip. I had not noticed any ear "popping" or "plugging". As soon as I got off the plane, I noticed the perception of motion. It continued every since. I had an ENT exam, MRI, neurologist exam, and am scheduled for a vestibular exam (tests) on 12/20. Everything appears normal so far so I may have this MdDs. I did get motion sickness on a small cruise ship many years ago but the perceived motion stopped within a day after debarment. Although my motion sensation is not left to right, but more of a bobbing front to back I was ready to give anything a try. I have been experiencing extreme fatigue, trigeminal nerve pain, very painful muscle tightness in the neck, occipital region, and TMD on only the right side. I'm guessing that my muscles on my right side are very tight from trying to make the motion that is perceived stop. Based on that, I started with the stripes going left to right. Completed my 5 days, 2 days ago and I've experienced no relief. Should I try the right to left now or can you refer me to another video that may be more helpful? I have lots of questions but I'd rather not share online. Do you ever do video consultations?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Cheryl, I'm sorry you didn't get relief. I have heard anecdotally from some viewers that they tried the stripes up and down for bobbing. I can't specifically recommend that because the studies I cited here did not look at that, but you can consider it. I do video consultations but have an extremely long waiting list at the moment and I do not usually prescribe exercises to help people these problems- my focus is on helping people with stress and emotional distress.

[@suzannemartin6817]

@The Steady Coach I had a bad recurrence of BPPV last August. It was very complex and took 6-8 sessions with my VT to clear it. But then I was left with PPPD (and also we think Vest Migraine) I am a lot better and am working on your program. Here is my question. My biggest issue is driving for more than about 30 minutes. This includes being a passenger. It is not so much the visual as it is the sense of instability when I stop (similar I think to MDDS) . Do you suppose this exercise would help with that? I usually take Meclizine if I have to drive far especially if I'm on my own and I also bring my cane. But I'd like to be free to drive two 1/2 hours to see my grandchildren. Thanks

Mine tends to be more forward backward and somewhat sinking feeling like in an elevator. I'm wondering what would be a good direction to have the lines move on the optodrum? Lines moving up maybe? and should I turn my head the same way you show on the video? Or up and down (like shaking my head yes)......... This first occurred with me back about 40 years ago. And then it went away and then it came back went away and came back. Usually lasts 6 months up to a year then it goes away. Way back then no diagnosis or anything. The doctor gave me antidepressants that seemed to help a little but I don't want to be on them. And that was many years ago.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I can’t advise on this unfortunately, there is no published research on it. Anecdotally others have reported changing the direction of the lines may help.

Hi Dr. Arthur ! I feel like I have MDDS , unfortunately I don't have insurance or money to see a doctor at the moment so I don't have a diagnosis. Can I ask a question ? I only seem to have these problems when I am walking or standing. When I am sitting or laying down, I don't notice them at all. It's really affected my walking to the point that I cannot walk on highly polished (slippery looking) floors or smooth concrete. If I am walking on carpet or flat grass, I feel like myself again. I sometimes get waves of dizziness rush through my head when I lay down or get up with nastygmus (my eyes move to the left of their own accord and I can only pull them back for them to go back). I understand that you're my doctor but any advice would be so helpfull. Thank you !

[@Dr.Drew.Aligns]

Thanks for sharing, learning more about Dai's work myself. Reading the literature it did caution that direction of the optokentic stripes was important (linked at the bottom). I've seen people use Fukada step test to try and help determine "dominant" direction. What are your thoughts on this? Trying to understand the concept better. Best, Drew PT, DPT Mucci V, Perkisas T, Jillings SD, Van Rompaey V, Van Ombergen A, Fransen E, et al. . (2018). Sham-controlled study of optokinetic stimuli as treatment for Mal de Debarquement Syndrome. Front Neurol. 9:887.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Drew! Yes, the direction of the stripes matters according to Dai et al, but sometimes people aren't able to determine the dominant direction or they have an inconclusive Fukuda result. In that case, I think they recommend (or maybe it was a different author discussing the technique, I can't recall) picking a direction and switching it if it doesn't work. I feel a little weird about telling people to do a Fukuda themselves because my channel is devoted primarily to "neural circuit dizziness" such as PPPD and my viewers tend to be extremely anxious; false positives are so common with the Fukuda. I have seen many clients who were diagnosed with a unilateral hypofunction on the basis of a Fukuda alone, but then advanced vestibular testing revealed no such weakness. This is just my bias here on this channel, however! In practice, if I saw someone in office, I would absolutely do a Fukuda; I would just stop short of telling them what it means if they had not yet done advanced testing.

I can't answer that unfortunately because that is not what the researchers looked at. The movement side to side is based on what the researchers found worked best for resetting the vestibulo-ocular reflex.

[@kitkatwozny]

Hi I just started today. As I type this I am on Day 10 of being off a cruise. I still heard it usually goes away in less than a month and my MDDS levels are only at a 1-2 now (they were at a 3-4 last week due to a head cold on top of it.). I do have swaying/rocking back n forth but I think what's more annoying is this pulling sensation. Because my levels are so low, do you think I will be able to get rid of it sooner AND do you recommend I do anything else? I am already doing some light walking + Powerade has helped as well. Thanks! :)

[@TheSteadyCoach]

The BEST recommendation I have is to not let it freak you out. Land sickness happens in 80% of people and it tends to be stress that keeps it going. Self care, self compassion, looking into any stressful events that might have prompted this (prior to the cruise), difficult family situations- realize those things can put your brain into a state of hyper alertness that can keep sensations going.
