The Blender of Awfulness - Vestibular Migraine - Dealing With Anxiety

[@priscillalowery5109]

Thank you. I have been suffering one year. It is isolating and I appreciate you and Dr. Yonit Arthur’s channel. A lot of healing has happened.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

I’m glad you are healing, P 😊

Thank you so much for making these videos. I have been suffering for 14 months. Recently symptoms are worse because I know have an 11 week old baby. I feel anxiety its like a super good for vestibular migraines. I am hoping my symptoms improve once baby gets bigger and body settles after giving birth. Please keep making these videos. I am sure they help so many, they help me.

Also i am buying the brand of glasses you recomend in your previous video. Thanks!

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi V. I replied to you once, but it seem to disappear. Thanks so much for the feedback. I am sorry you have been ill for 14 months. I think you are right, it's likely the newborn has made things a bit worse (lack of sleep, change in hormones). I will keep making them. Even if it just one person they help, it's all worthwhile. You take care and keep in touch x

@Violet Olive: how are you doing?

Keep it up Matt you will get over this in no time. In fact you will look back at this and laugh. Or maybe not.

Thanks!

Hi Matt! Love listening to your channel in the mornings! Are you able to drive again now?

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi J. Ah thanks for that. I'm glad it's some use! I dont drive myself but I seem to be OK in a car - it's never really bothered me, bar the headlights....

[@danielauclair9454]

Hi Matt, this video struck a chord with me. Very similar to my story. I’ve been dealing with chronic symptoms for 4 months and the anxiety has overwhelmed me. I am now taking meds to calm things down while the amytriptyline hopefully starts working. Also going to be talking with the doc about starting an antidepressant due to my low mood and possibly another med to top things off. Getting some fl41 glasses soon as well. Thanks for your videos. Very helpful.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi Daniel. Ah that sounds very similar to my experience. But it seems that you are doing all the right things to get well, which you will! Im glad the videos have been useful.

[@danielauclair9454]

The Blunt Yorkshireman fingers crossed I find the right combo of meds.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

@@danielauclair9454 You will!

[@hajimemashite210]

The Blunt Yorkshireman how long did it take for your symptoms to subside after the sertraline started working? I’m waiting for the amytriptyline to kick in.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

@@hajimemashite210 It took a few months for the sertraine to do it's job, then after that, I would say it was about another month when I noticed improvement with the common symtoms (derealisation, photophobia).

[@jadehiggans6667]

This video helped me feel better today- feeling less alone x Are you still on setraline? I’ve just been prescribed this and also struggling with the VM alongside the anxiety- causes panic and feel so sad- I’m alive but not living- How you doing now with the anxiety side ? X

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Ah I am glad it made you feel a bit better, Jade. I am still on sertraline and if I get my way I will take it till the day I die, as it has worked really well for me. The sertraline also tackles the anxiety side - so touch wood I am doing just fine. Thinking of trying it? x

[@cristiandavincicaravaggio1804]

Thanks for the video man. It is helpful to hear you. I am feeling so down. Lately I feel like my right arm is off balance too, it’s always the right side of my body that’s off kilt. I’m starting endep tomorrow, I’ve considered Zoloft which is setraline. I also take klonopin for panic and anxiety attacks. Lexapro didn’t work, I feel so depressed. Last month I was so anxious and jittery, obsessed with my symptoms and now it’s flapped to being depressed and being lethargic. Is the Zoloft still working for you? I workout everyday almost even if I’m miserable and with symptoms. The gym lights bother me so much. I want to wear sunglasses indoor.

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hey dude - so sorry to hear you are struggling. Yes, Zoloft (if this s Sertraline's name in the US) is still working. Wear glasses in door, I did - look cool like Andy Taylor or Bono!?

[@baulhabooysen9556]

Hi Matt I have the same problem it feels if my brain can't handle this anymore its dizzy sore in side and also my ears is throbbing from time to time am I afraid to do anything and severe depression and anxiety started dr put me on lexamil 10mg an atavan

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Hi Baulha - I have replied to your other message :)

[@trishpillsbury]

I get very dizzy and then I start vomiting and can’t stop! That makes me afraid of going out,

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Oh dear. I bet it does. Have you been recommended any threat for the sickness?

[@lora4479]

Is it normal to be dizzy every day for weeks and months with this Illness ?

[@thebluntyorkshireman5161]

Yes, I am afraid so (in my experience). Make sure you check it with a doctor though....

[@sharonwills6374]

Hi Matt..are you using supplements..Magnesium, B vits and CoQ10...see Dizzy cook book...lists all required Alicia Wolfe..
