Rose's Success Story: recovery from PPPD

[@rachellucas5269]

Once again I was struck by what a turning point it is in our recovery when we realize that not only is there nothing wrong with our bodies (thank God!) but that the the solution is not outside of us, but within. No one outside of us can heal us. But WE have the power to heal within ourselves. Rose articulated that so well! It is truly a pivot point where it becomes a healing journey where we are empowered, no longer hopeless, and begin to find our way out and through. Thank you Rose!! And thank you Dr. Yo!!!

[@catcatcatt1]

The indicator that it was a software issue is so healing for me , I don’t have symptoms while I’m driving or in a car …

Rose is the BOMB. I truly relate and admire her vigilance and manner in which she recovered.

[@breeseechols236]

Thank you…. I am at 13 months since my vertigo/PPPD journey began. I was in a very dark place for about 6 months…. I feel like now at a year, I’m no longer down, but do have so much joy… sensations are still there, but feel like I’m getting there, and know I will recovery fully…. I’d say I’m running at about 90% there daily with some fluctuations…I love these success stories as it does give me hope!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Fantastic, Breese!

[@Zippy177]

Oh wow, amazing success story. It resonates SO much with me. My experience has been almost identical!! The TV filming bit was so real for me too, I would constantly comment to my husband about awful fast camera speeds and angles and he couldn’t really understand! Also the bit about when you have young children and sometimes you HAVE to carry on, this was me, my life didn’t change, I still worked (on a computer!) and did mum things I just found it incredibly hard and was often exhausted. I am so grateful for this though as I think the worst thing I could have done is stay in bed/house all the time. Thank you both very much, it’s so lovely to hear these stories. Ps well done going on the carousel, that is amazing!!

[@dgvokes]

Thank you, Dr. Yo and Rose for another great success story! It is very inspiring. My dizziness started with a BPPV episode in May 2023. I found this KZbin channel, read some great books on TMS and learned to calm down my fight/flight response. I’m finally on the mend and am slowly getting better. I’m feeling best when focused on normal life activities and avoiding giving the dizziness any attention or fear.

[@JohnGobbi-jw6tw]

I think my dizziness started when I went to help my son, he thought he had a rat in his bathroom. He pushed me into the very small bathroom and closed the door. It turned out to be a ferret which frighted the life out of me. I struggled with the ferret for nearly two hours. Eventually got it out in a bin. I have struggled with Dizziness ever since. Any ideas on how I can sort this.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

That is an unusual story, John! Sometimes even a small event can push us over the edge when we’ve had many years of stress.

[@charlotteo89]

This is so helpful! I am 11 months into my journey and have been following all of the recovery stories. I had suspected Vestibular Neuritis. I’ve gone from not being able to stand for more than 30 seconds or walk properly and other really horrid 24/7symptoms to now being able to walk and stand and be semi normal, not quite there yet but staying hopeful. The main annoying thing that’s still lingering is feeling light headed/feeling faint this is what scares me the most and going outside is really hard because of this. I am alone and have no support network to walk with me outside do you have any tips? I would be super grateful as at the mo I can only do 10/15 mins round the block at the moment. Thanks Dr Yo and Rose. Sending well wishesxxx

[@brendajones2240]

I have a long way to go I have the same issues as you do and many mote it's been a very long time for myself I was able to get a doc note for a home care aide through my insurance and I use the time when she comes to walk . Maybe your insurance company can help with some assistance at home .

Hi Rose, Thank you for your share and for your success story. Very powerful to hear another person who has had many of the same symptom patterns. I’m having a lot of ear fullness with some testing that shows right ear vestibular weakness. Do you mind sharing where the 3 MRI locations are for Meniere’s? Thank you! 🙏

[@praveenmoorthy-z5f]

Hi doctor Yo , around Minute 15 , Rose talks about a specialized MRI about the where you can get it only in like 3 places in the US. Can you please ask Rose or let me know if you know what the particular test is ? Just for some validation and to make me feel better !

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I don't know where they are, unfortunately. Dr. Hain's office in Chicago probably knows.

[@grapesc2940]

Is she still on ssri ? When did she stopped ssri if she is not in it ?

Hi, Dr Yo. Thank you for sharing Rose’s story. I wanted to ask, Rose mentioned that she had sensitivity on her right side. I have sensitivity on my left side. Do you have any suggestions on how to bring balance back and alleviate my left side sensitivity?

[@chandlerliero4039]

Curious to know when she started and stopped the SSRI?

[@celineschmidt502]

I relate to the tv thing! Once during my dizziness period I tried watching Queer Eye, which seemed like a safe option because it's always felt like such a wholesome comfort show to me, but man, those jump cuts!! Everything moves so fast in reality shows! I had to turn it off 5 minutes in 😅

[@katiealanna]

SO relatable. She articulated everything I felt in my suffering so well. Just feeling acknowledged is extremely important. My symptoms also started in late September/October 2022. I've recovered so much since then. I had to accept where I'm at, and stop obsessing over full recovery. I now can go weeks without symptoms and when I do have them, I'm no longer afraid or hard on myself, which in time has made them a lot milder. Feeling safe in your body takes time but everyone can get there at their own pace 💕

I loved this interview!! the way having BPPV while sleaping lead her to PPPD is exactly how mine started. something I always wondered is, can emotional damage lead to BPPV?? the night I got BPPV was a very very stressful day. I was explaining the floting sensation to my ENT, and she said I should be careful for Meniere. having Meniere was one of my top fearful thing to happen, so I just crumbled. and it happened that night.😅

Nice interview! There is one thing that I really don’t understand.. I have pppd for the last couple of years.. I don’t get dizzy anymore, my major long lasting symptom is fatigue.. I get exhausted when I get visually stimulated or when I move my body too much.. like for example I had to clean my full apartment I got so tired I had to sleep for days being unable to do anything else.. if I tried to push it doesn’t work because I end up being bed ridden for days.. I try pacing, but it seems I can’t resolve this symptom.. rose said she pushed herself to go on her vacation but if I did the same I’d end up in bed for several days.. do you have any advice Dr. Yo? This symptom also make me feel frustrated and sad, grieving my old life, when I was very active

Hello Dr. Yo, my dizziness journey started 6 months ago without any "Big Bang" like BPPV. Since I found your channel I was making a lot of progress until I experienced crazy room spinning & vertigo only few days ago - which never happened before (only lasted for one day). This turned up my anxiety again so I was wondering if it is possible that one can experience more intense symptoms like vertigo even though it was never there before as a part of recovery? It seems like my journey is similar to Rose but in a different order. Thank you so much for these success stories, they always give me hope

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Yes, I'm sorry that happened to you. Ugh. Neural circuit dizziness can make people more prone to inner ear "blips."

[@mal-nx6xs]

I almost screamed because I always reference this to the dementors as well!! do you think verdigo could be part of the symptoms drift?? now I'm having few weired dizzy sensation (not intensive spinning, but the room shifting for few seconds) or just a random sensation?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Pretty much any symptom can occur as part of symptom drift!

[@Bee-mi8ml]

Great story So relatable. Question. Why can one feel better when on an airplane or when one has a cold? This has happened to me. Is it resulting from the different pressure in the ears, one being the cabin pressure, the other being the stuffiness from the cold? It's the only time I have been able to stand and cook without feeling dizzy, solid on my feet, or be outside without anxiety. Being an audiologist I thought you might have some insight to what is happening here. Thank you, and thanks for all you do for us!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

When I see this happen, I think it's because your brain switches "templates" aka uses different predictions when something like pressure has changed in your ear.

[@TamiJespersen]

My problem is for example I'm walking in the mall. I feel rocking, swaying but I'm walking. I feel nervous because I feel like people are looking at me because I'm walking funny. I feel like they know what's going on with me and they're looking at me with shame and pity. This is what my mind is telling me. This makes me even more nervous almost to the point where I feel paralyzed. It's absolute madness. Even though I tell myself I'm safe, the insanity keeps going.🥲
