Hi, I'm Emma's Mom and I can't tell you all how proud I am of Emma right now. Her composure and grace while sharing this difficult journey with you makes my heart both ache but also swell with love and pride. I know just how supportive her husband and friends have been thru all this as well. I'm glad that Dr. Yo has a platform that has helped Emma to such an extent and she now in turn can help others. Luv u Em!!

Watching and listening to your story is like looking in a mirror. I've had the ENT, Brain MRI, 72 hour ecg, blood tests (low iron and vitamin D). I'm on a waiting list for Neurology (March 2025), I have an appointment with a chiropractor next Wednesday. I've had 3 eye tests. I'm sat here in tears watching this. I just want to be better! I can't cope with the content dizziness and walking on marshmallows. Migraines. I want to enjoy my kids 😢

Hi Dr. IMO…and 20 years of PPPD..all the brain does is its job. If we hyper focus on every scary s/s and we will then the brain turns up the volume on whatever we hyperfocus on. Hyper focus is basically a habit and the only way to counter that bad hyperfocus habit is to refocus on life and living. I certainly wore out my brain and developed bad Brain fog…. After a long time with hyper over focus on symptoms I just quit living. Focus on life right now. Do it anyway! You are still here..Focus on that! Just my journey!

Dear Emma, Thank you for sharing your story that inspires hope and strength. I've been having symptoms of mild dizziness for over a few years (and I told myself it's mental, I will just ignore it, it didn't bother much). But a year and a half ago the dizziness increased, I feel dizzy and unsteady 24/7. I went to countless tests and about a month ago I did the CVEMP test where they saw pathological asymmetry on the left side in 70%. And I was also diagnosed with vestibular migraine. They told me to start physical therapy and watch videos with moving elements. I haven't started treatment yet, I feel like I don't have the strength to be disappointed again after all the things I've tried. Although there is something physical here, I still believe it is based on something mental. I would be happy for help. I am a mother of 2 small boys and I do everything to go about my day normally, but it is a never-ending nightmare. Is there a chance to feel good again? Would love your help. from: zahava

Very similar to my story. Brain fog, derealiseation, weird vision problems, testing this and that. Mine all started after taking anti inflammatory medication (Dr Yo, have you ever heard of anyone getting balance issues from anti inflammatory drugs?) I felt “out of it” for a month, didn’t work, wasn’t super anxious, well I feel like I was less anxious that I thought I would be given all the symptoms, I also had chronic “paradoxical insomnia” and lucid dreams for a month straight. One of the most annoying aspects was trying to get the doctors to listen and take me seriously. They just kept thinking it was anxiety but it became clear to me after a while none of them had ever heard of PPPD.
@TheSteadyCoach3 ай бұрын
Sooooo many things can set off dizziness, what I get very interested in (more than what started things) is what keeps symptoms persistent. That is often not the original stressor/drug/illness but rather the nervous system becoming hypersensitive to the initial symptoms

I've been on this road for a few months and already notice improvements. I had an MRI done of my ears and head and everything was fine. Do you recommend more medical tests to rule out certain things? Or should this be enough to diagnose ncd? My neurologist had heard of PPPD, but I had not received an official diagnosis. I'd love to hear from you and thank you for your time again 😘

Ugh, what an unlucky situation! That is sooooo rare. Your nervous system is likely still very hypersensitive because of what you went through. You should definitely do vestibular rehab but you should also work on calming your nervous system.

Due to all the, hospitalizations, tests and appts and Dr's telling me I'm normalIe suffered with health anxiety too. My list was almost the same as yours and I was 100% convinced it was what I had. My neurologist actually told me to increase my anxiety meds and see a psychiatrist that all this was In my head. I did stop taking anxiety med and started to feel better. My ENT finally diagnosed me with PPPD and Im currently in VRT and see a psychologist who is helping. I know the feeling of giving up bc I thought that every day.

What a journey it has been! I had a set back this week. I have been battling a pretty serious sinus infection. So I was back on the “Cruise Ship” yesterday. I have anxiety, PTSD, and chronic neck and shoulder pain. I woke up this morning in a panic. Hate when that happens. It took me awhile to accept my diagnosis of PPPD. I have many good resources in place now. I feel so grateful for that. What I don’t have is a family or support system that gets how hard it is on a daily basis to live with PPPD. Like Emma said: “It’s invisible to all around you”. Dr. Yo, I listen to your podcast almost daily. It is beyond helpful. Thank you so much❤

If you could share the contact details of your therapist and if they do counseling over zoom, because i'm based in Dubai. Also Dr. Yo, if you're reading this do you think at this stage should I consider consulting you?

I will ask Emma to check the comments! The last ten percent can take the longest because the brain has to go through a recalibration process re: what’s normal and what’s not. You are doing it JUST RIGHT! Be kind to yourself. Be patient. Your brain knows how to balance. And be honest with yourself about what other stressors you might need to work through.

Thank you Emma for putting yourself out there. You are an inspiration and so much help to me right now. I can relate to your symptoms, hard days and how the PPPD is invisible and hard for people to understand. I'm in the thick of it. But am starting to pull out due to Dr. Yo's tracking videos. You both are so much help to us out here. Thank you for your testimonial! These videos encourage us to continue on! ❤

Oh Emma, I 100% identify with your journey! I also needed to go through like a dozen of different doctors to make sure I am not dying, as I had (and still have) extreme health phobia. So glad for your recovery, keep up the good work! ❤🎉

I’m SOBBING listening to this. Thank you so much for sharing Emma! Lately my symptoms are so bad I do feel suicidal at times. I’ve had dizziness, panic, DPDR, and other POTS & vestibular migraine symptoms for almost 5 years. I have had to move back home, I only work part time (getting to work is a battle every single day), I have no social life. I feel like a prisoner. I’m so happy to have found this channel. Everything I’ve heard resonates. I’ve been in the mindbody world for quite some time and I KNOW that’s what’s going on with me it’s just not clicking enough to get better 😭 I desperately hope this is the year I recover ❤ thanks for all you do here Dr. Yo

I have had 24/7 lightheadedness/ derealization/ internal “swimmy” or off feeling ever since a 5 second visual vertigo episode. No more visual vertigo episodes, or no rocking/swaying sensations, just off. Had had vestibular work ups / blood work all come back normal and a “could be migraines or cervicogenic dizziness” answer. I think that pppd fits especially feeling worse in supermarkets and stores, but often see stories with rocking and swaying. Could I still have pppd without these types of symptoms? Thank you!!!

Hi Dr.Yo. I am still waiting for when I will feel better and live my life again. I have gotten to the point where i cannot even lay flat at night because i am scared i might set something off so i sleep on 3 pillows every night and it is not comfortable and my neck does not feel nice and relaxed but still because of fear i do it. I recently found out about upcoming family events I need to attend and my stress has been high all over again each day i am feeling the sensations again even when i am not doing anything and i feel like im bringing things back and having a setback even though that is the last thing i want. i don't know how to move forward with this because i have trapped myself to my room again and just lay down all day and night and it feels horrible to be wasting life like this and i have been feeling visual sensations again and unbalanced and lightheaded which when that happens it increases my stress even more and i feel as im obsessing and constantly overanalyzing my body each day again and i dont understand how to get out of it it is very frustrating and i feel like such a disappointment to myself and my family i don't know what to do Dr.Yo

Hi Mindy, I am sorry it’s gotten so bad for you. You are not stuck this way- it sounds like you are trapped in a cycle of fear and avoidance right now. It is NOT YOUR FAULT!! It is your responsibility to get out of it, but that doesn’t mean you need to feel ashamed and guilty. Start small. Make your way through the course again (I just updated it so you’ll need to sign up again for the newest version.). One small step at a time. Emma was right where you are now. You are not alone.
