“What if I never recover?” Doubts CRUSH your recovery from neural circuit dizziness & other symptoms

[@oscardelafuente8612]

Hello 👋 Dr yonith; I come to greet you and tell you that I'm still fine; Almost a year and a half without symptoms or with any residue like when I take a long car trip; Or I get in and out of a vehicle but after a while it goes away; For the rest normal life and leaving the nightmare far behind; I'm still great and I encourage everyone that this has an end; A hug Dr! Oscar.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

OSCAR!!! I love hearing from you, my friend! I am so happy to read this. Please keep updating me. It makes me smile to know you're out there living your life normally again. BIG HUGS

[@ericrochester8835]

15 months dizzy......15 months without the dizzy. It came and went. I eventually expected there was nothing wrong with me and I slowly forgot about it. I'm a regular here now to let people know it gets better. Very few positive comments when I was going though this. Good luck

[@georges5864]

wow.. Are you completely recovered as you were before? What helped the most? Did you use SSRIs or similar medication?

[@ericrochester8835]

@georges5864 No meds. You must eliminate the stresses in your life. Do what your heart wants not what other's want for you.

[@georges5864]

@ I'm doing it. I just had a trigger event, medical poisoning. It didn't came out of nowhere. Were you functional in every day life? Because I'm not. I used to dance as entertainment and socialization, but I cannot anymore.

[@KimHenningsen-j3k]

Thanks for sharing. I am seven months in and trying to wrap my head around whats still stressing me out

[@ericrochester8835]

@@georges5864 yes I could still work because once my mind was focused on something else I would stop and think ,hey I haven't felt the feeling. But as soon as I thought about it ,there it was. It's funny how the mind works when under a stress response.

[@AnitaPerrine]

Don’t ignore your progress and successes. So helpful. Lightbulb moment for me? I was too focused on failures and fear to realize there were any at all. Gosh thank you Dr !

[@kitkatwozny]

Doubts made me more accepting! It is what it is…been 2 years with 24/7 motion-triggered MdDS. And all the treatments I have done consistently has helped me get to a certain point. Never resolved. I’m just still living life.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I'm glad you're more accepting! It causes a lot less suffering when people can accept where they are - even when they add the most important phrase: FOR NOW!

[@kitkatwozny]

@@TheSteadyCoach thanks! it might never ever be "for now" though. it is possible to still have 24/7 symptoms for months to years even though you're doing everything correctly. i have met many people (moreso women) who have low to moderate mdds symptoms 24/7 for years and did a ton of treatments and they never resolved. i finally had a neuro tell me sometimes people just get to a certain point and that's where they stay, even if theyre functional. unfortunately, that is most likely me at this point, so i just had to accept i will probably have this the rest of my life. i've been in the 80th %ile for an extra full year and i never budged or had my pattern change too much. i think placing all your eggs in one basket that everyone can fully recover from physical bobbing/rocking/floating/swaying symptoms isn't very realistic because everyone is so different.

[@georges5864]

I’ve had 24/7 dizziness for three years now. I fight every day as I watch these incredible videos. I am often of the mind that I’ll never get better. Thank you for this video. I really needed it. I’m so tired and am through with living with daunting fear every waking moment. I’m tired of the ‘what if’s’. And I am especially tired of just existing, not really living. You are a remarkable human being, doctor! ❤️

[@merysmily]

Dr. Yo. You’re the reason why I’ve fully recovered from chronic dizziness almost 2 years ago. Unfortunately, once after I got over the symptom, it immediately (less than a week) transformed into vasomotor rhinitis / non-allergic rhinitis (stuffy nose and post nasal drip) and tinnitus. I’m still here listening to your videos because a lot of the concepts still apply so I’m doing my best to implement all the same!

[@georges5864]

did you took any meds, like SSRIs for your dizziness recovery?

[@merysmily]

@ no, I didn’t. I followed Dr Yo’s strategies for recovery, as well as Dan Buglio’s on Pain Free You, to fully recover. I had it for 6 months nonstop. Towards the tail end of it I guess I turned the corner when I stopped caring whether or not the symptoms were there. There were many ups but many more downs but it did go away so I know the method works. I didn’t meditate or journal just literally remained as calm as possible when the sensations were present to show my brain that it was just mindbody. It was the hardest thing I ever did because I hated the sensations so much. I hope you find relief soon. All my best.

[@ThePurpleElephantt]

@@merysmilyDan’s book has only been out for about 2 weeks. How did it help you recover 2 years ago?

Same here. The Dr made me understand the issue.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

So well done, congratulations!!! And you KNOW what to do. Some types of sensations are "sticker" than others but it is wonderful the dizziness is gone!

[@avamihalik7531]

Dr Y, this was so good and so helpful it should be wrapped in gold and put in a time capsule so the whole world will have if they need it! I have not been able to stop crying today due to symptoms and that's not like me and I am having feelings of doubt and shame, I HAVE been getting better in a lot of ways but not in others and the "cherry picking " is exactly what is going on!! I think because I am doing more and even getting bored and I know that's a good sign I think my brain is like "oh no don't think your going anywhere" and is trying to bring up some doubt and sad chemicals to get it me back in fear mode where she thinks its safe! Thank you for this you are an angle in the flesh and so needed in this world!! I love you! xxoo Ava

[@rachellucas5269]

This is one of the most important videos you’ve made! Great explanation and instructive techniques for dealing with doubts that can hamper our recovery.

Thank you Dr. Yo! This type of video is incredibly helpful, especially for those of us with longer recoveries.

[@alenaprentice4208]

I'm 7 months into my outbreak of vestibular migraine. Started improving after the diagnosis 3 months ago and can see from monitoring that I am getting better...thats like facts! But recently waking up to a woozy head and loud tinnitus has started to give me feel a fear of not getting better and I've been starting to doubt my progress, forgetting that I had such bad attacks only a few months back and was frightened to even walk up the road (I am now back to hiking again). What's prompted my latest fears (and increase in symptoms)is that my husband is going away for a week and in my head there is "what if I'm really bad whilst he's away?". Thank you for helping me spot this and giving me the tool to deal with it.

[@life.withJules]

I love this! Thank you! Is it typical with neuro circuit dizziness to get a lot better when you are having pain in other areas of the body (like from a muscle strain) and then come back on again as that pain subsides? Or is that a sign that the dizziness could be due to something else? It’s so confusing to me. You give so much hope and encouragement to so many people! Thank you so much for everything you do!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

ABSOLUTELY! That is actually a very common neural circuit dizziness phenomenon and to me is good evidence symptoms are being caused by the nervous system. Obviously do your due diligence if you think there's something medically wrong.

[@Caron-s3d]

Year 3.5. Living life. Covid then, BPPV, right side initial weakness. PPPD diagnosis. Feel basically normal outside. Balance good. But still have inner wave. Have had at least 30 symptoms come and go over 3 years. Feet still feel tired or bouncy standing too long indoors. Busted into tears on my walk listening to a recovery story yesterday when I was on a walk and she said the bed was moving. It triggered a memory from the beginning of this when my bed use to feel like an ocean.

Just couple of days back was back to the dark days with this Vertigo thing. Now back to feeling stronger. Couple of changes I made is quit Yoga is primary and switched it to post workout stretching and started strength training with one rule to do each rep slow with proper breathing to keep the parasympathetic nervous system calm. Back to motorcycle riding and loving it. I know I will have bad days but my job is not to fight that but enjoy the good days.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

YEAH! Back on your bike!!!

Watched this about 6 times in 2 days! Absolutely struggling in the 2 weeks as seem to have gone back a few steps in recovery .thinking of reducing the citopram as its leaving me exhausted and constantly hungry which makes me even more fearful in a way.

[@life.withJules]

I know I already commented and I’m so thankful that you wrote me back! ❤ But I had to ask, do you have any resources or advice for people who can’t get allll the testing done, and consequently allows room for a lot of doubt?

[@selinbulut4076]

My dizziness was just getting better and nearly gone after 4 months thanks to your videos! I lost all fear of them as you said. Then i was passing a bridge which was shaking and got really scared that the sensation could stick with me and it did… i feel bobbing when i walk now. i know it’s neural circuit but now that new scary sensation makes me worry. I am sure that my body was still in a danger state even though i am working on it. Directly afterwards i reassured myself i was fine and i know what this is but it’s still here. Do you have any tips on how to approach this? Is there any rehabilitation exercises for that bobbing/ trampoline walking feeling? 😢thanks!

[@Caron-s3d]

@TheSteadyCoach Just wondering if you've considered being our voice in the "real world"? Maybe a local TV or radio station ( for a start ). There are SO many stories about people going to their doctors only for the doctors to tell them that they've never heard about PPPD (first hand experience with this,) and the other crippling disorders. I honestly think this needs to go further than the internet, for a number of reasons... the doctors will say, "oh, don't believe what you see/hear on the internet... "it's 'just' anxiety"... "hmmm, that's odd, let's test you for" (fill in the blank) ... THIS happened to me "well, sounds like a brain tumor" . Etc., etc. We all appreciate the loads of information you provide. Maybe it's time to make this information even more well known.

[@YolandaSandoval-w2p]

What if there was a professional diagnosis by 4 Neuro optometrist of binocular vision dysfunction but I believe they are wrong and it’s mind body? They all said vision therapy for 14 months and prism glasses would be the way to go. One doctor even said that if I don’t do it that I would get worse. So even if I am convinced that it is neural circuit, sometimes on bad days I still have a little doubt in the back of my mind “ what if they were right?” Only thing I have to hang on to is that I have been overall getting better not worse and it’s been about a year since the diagnosis. Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Yo!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

BVD is VERY common in the general population and is usually asymptomatic so I do not believe it to be the cause of dizziness symptoms. It's ok to get it treated, I just wouldn't expect it to cure neural circuit dizziness symptoms. I've seen people spend thousands on specialized therapy and glasses and see absolutely no change in symptoms at all.

[@YolandaSandoval-w2p]

Thank you Dr. Yo! I actually did do around 16 weeks of vision therapy and I saw little to no progress. Any progress I saw was maybe with my vision but nothing else. Just wanted to mention that in case anyone else who has BVD is seeing this. It was extremely expensive and not worth it.

[@alandmoochie]

not sure what to do, i can go weeks with little to no symptoms, I feel like "yes this is going away" and then ill have them again. What should i do? I've been dealing with this for 19 months.

[@ericrochester8835]

If anyone has doubts that the mind can give you strange symptoms then a look at war neurosis or shell shock from the first world war. I would never put it on the same level but it is a glimpse into the effect of stress and fear in the human bodies nervous system.

Being physically uncomfortable makes it hard to feel more neutral toward sensations, but often people have more than one symptom (including pain) and are able to get better anyway.

I see a link with OCD here...

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Well spotted! Strong overlap! The interesting thing is that many people who have neural circuit symptoms never had anxiety or OCD before them, but the anxiety from the dizziness can set off OCD-like thought patterns.
