I have crazy symptom drift, I once counted all my symptoms and ended up at 25ish but they never happen at the same time, it's like my brain can only handle a few at the same time. One day I will feel deeply depressed, then the next day the depression is gone and instead I have a physical symptom. I have accepted it as part of the journey. What keeps me motivated is that it also shows me that symptoms can disappear really fast. Last week, I had a completely symptom-free day- that was insane!

Somehow you always manage to answer my most burning questions in your new videos. 😊 Thank you for this one, I feel like the dizziness got better, then I had burning skin sensations (it was a huge issue for me a few years ago, I don’t fear that anymore so it went away in 2 days) and now crazy visual symptoms (I’ve experienced these when the dizziness started two years ago, but the volume turned up on them). I feel like it’s a “game”, like I’m being tested, it’s like my brain want to find the sensation that’s gonna really freak me out, if its guess is wrong, it changes it in a few days. 😅 A few years back I could never imagined that these stuff work like this, it would be really amusing without the suffering, but getting there. P.S. A few years back I ended 8 years of severe and 24/7 vaginal pain by laughing at it when I really had enough, I just physically, mentally couldn’t care anymore, so that’s a great advice.

This made me cry. I am going through one of the hardest times I’ve ever faced since being diagnosed with vestibular migraine and chronic dizziness back in August. I have also been recently diagnosed with a PFO and extremely low iron saturation. While I do know most certainly that I am dealing with neural circuit dizziness, the symptoms I’m feeling from the low iron and the fear/uncertainty with the PFO are exaggerating things to an uncomfortable extent. I am currently wearing a heart monitor and that in itself is a constant reminder that I may have something really wrong. I am struggling to feel safe when there is so much uncertainty and so many issues to address. It was one thing when it was just the dizziness, but now I am completely overwhelmed. I can’t figure out what is causing what and the whole crew of doctors I have can’t seem to figure it out either. All this aside, I want to thank you so much for all the good you do and all the hope you bring to everyone who needs it. You are amazing Dr. Yo! ❤

Your brain can pick up on any change in physiology as a sign of danger, even when it's just... wrong. This can activate symptoms. It's similar to when people find they get headaches from changes in weather- the weather change isn't dangerous, but the brain is interpreting it as a threat. That would be a potential explanation for what is happening.

This video was a breakthrough for a few reasons. I suffered with bppv and long residual dizziness last year. I recovered by overcoming the fear and had a pretty good time until Jan this year when it hit again. It took many maneuvers, too many if you ask me and still have some residuak dizziness but this time my brain is in the "well if it happened twice ot is bound to happen again and again and again" and this is the loop i find impossible to shift. If i can catch and ride the wave of "well if it happens again it is what it is, but for now let's get over this one" i feel i could feel more safe in my body. I just find it very difficult

Thank you so much for this video! I found your coverage of symptom shift very encouraging, because it reflects what I learned about psychosomatic phenomena from the late Dr. John Sarno. (I was a patient of his in the 1990s). He termed this shift the "symptom imperative." The subconscious is extremely crafty at coming up with scores of these substitutions out of left field, in body parts and systems you have never consciously thought about. These symptoms need to be fresh and original in order to scare you so that you focus on them, and not the big, scary life issues that your subconscious wants to help you avoid. I highly recommend Sarno's book, "The Divided Mind." It touches on all of this. It changed my life.

Hi, in the end you talked a bit about how it's good to focus on activities where you dont think about the issues. I noticed however that my copingsmechanism since i was 12 or so (16years ago now) has been to push away these feelings, weird sensations and thoughts. This because they seemed to complex, too much and i didnt know how to deal with them. How do i focus on other activities without pushing my issues away? On the one hand i should do exercises and learn to be self aware, but on the other hand i should also do fun stuff and try to let my brain focus on other things than these issues. But when i try to focus on activities i just fall back into old habits of quicker, no contact with body, pushing all the issues away. Maybe this question got too long😅 but it boils down to: what does it look like to let myself enjoy activities without it feeding my tendency to push away thoughts and feelings and get overstimulated?

Thank you very much for your description of symptom drift. I have spent a year recovering from a concussion resulting from a fall on ice, and are puzzled by what you so call symptom drift. you comment on brain/emotion/fear state. My initial treatment protocols emphasized performing the VOR as quickly as possible. While that may have been initially appropriate, that may not be true a year later in for the reasons you described. Repeatedly and vigorously performing VOR disruptive exercises probably causes fear and confusion that my brain cannot handle, and may thus cause symptom drift. I will experiment with performing the VOR exercises at a more reasonable pace that enhances the VOR reflexes but does not frighten or unreasonably confuse my brain.

I have experienced dizziness for a year. I found you the end of June. The dizziness started a couple of months following a sinus surgery to cure migraines. Total failure. Migraines increased. So my fear evaporated in a couple of weeks of listening to you. But I went to an optometrist that told me my eyes are not working together and that’s why I’m dizzy. She gave me a new prescription with a prism. But the dizziness did not stop. I really feel like it’s TMS from the surgery and increase in migraines. But after months of TMS work, I’m still dizzy-although I’ve completely lost the fear and so grateful. So is it a structural problem or TMS?I’m at a loss.

Dizziness is a tricky little beast in my experience. It is less cut and dry than pain for many people. It’s wonderful you’ve lost the fear. That indicates to me that what is still driving the symptoms is ongoing unresolved stress. For many people, this comes down to internal stressors like the stress they (consciously or unconsciously) put on themselves. Outward signs include perfectionism, people pleasing, etc.

Hey Dr. Yonit, I believe that my dizziness may be caused from a histamine problem. Also, I got bit by a tick in July and my symptoms happened August. When I drink beer now all the sudden I get sick and dizzy. Do you have any idea about whether a tick could cause histamine intolerance? Been to so many doctors. I guess I need to go to one and ask for a specific blood test. But I have these PPPD symptoms. Please help if you can. Thank you!
@TheSteadyCoach8 ай бұрын
Hi Shane, re: the histamine intolerance, that's out of my area of expertise so that's a question best posted to a physician. However, I have seen many food intolerances be the result of mind body issues. You might consider consulting with one who specializes in mindbody stuff because those folks are going to take a holistic approach like mine. There is a big directory at pddassociation.org

Hi Dr. Yo, I’m currently working my way through your free course alongside your workbook that I purchased. I’ve noticed my dizziness symptoms are shifting, and i’m getting more of a weak noodle feeling in my legs. I have been making myself going on daily walks like I used to, but it’s almost like my legs are getting super fatigued. It levels out at various times throughout the walk but overall it feels very strange. I also sometimes get super cold feet. These symptoms usually appear when dizziness does not, they sort of switch off. But usually more dizziness. Until recently when I started your course and now it’s shifting. Can the weak feeling in my legs be from NCD? I’ve had every test in the book I should mention (muscular neurologist, MRI, etc etc). I feel like I can’t find anything about this on your channel so it’s continuing my fear that something is wrong.

Hi Dr.Yo. my swaying got so much better, and there're a times I don't feel anything. but sometimes in the morning when I'm half a sleep or dreaming, I suddenly get the sensation. Is my brain preceiving danger in my sleep too?
@TheSteadyCoach8 ай бұрын
It's wonderful to hear about your progress! And yes, "danger mode" can be active/cause prediction errors even when you're not actually in danger. My guess about this kind of thing is that you are going through a biological transition (hormones or otherwise) at this time and your brain is mistakenly identifying it as a source of danger.

Hello Dr. Yo, first of all thanks for your helping videos. I have recently been diagnosed with PPPD and have some questions that you may be able to answer. Is it normal for my symptoms to improve when I drink a glass of wine? Alcohol is not the solution, but it gives me some relaxation every now and then. I also wonder if you can go skiing with PPPD? I am going on a skiing holiday and my symptoms increase when I exercise/go for a walk. I've heard that avoiding activity isn't helpful so I'm wondering if skiing is actually a good thing for my brain to recover faster? Thanks for all your help!

Wondering if this danger mode in my brain and nervous system can affect my heart specifically heart skips because this is the symptom that started a few months ago and I’m fixing to go see a cardiologist about it just to check on things but I just feel like it’s all related to the nervous system. I noticed it more when I sit down I’m in front the computer or lying down for the night so things like that that are kind of situational. I do notice it sometimes whenever I’m standing or doing something from time to time but most of the time when I’m sitting

Hi dr. yonit . I am part of your members on the steady coach app . I had a question on unilateral hypofunction . If I had a VNG which showed some weakness , and then I did (vrt + brain exercises) for a month, would a 2nd VNG detect any improvements , or is a VNG test just to detect inner ear issues without considering the brain adaptation? Thank you .
@TheSteadyCoach9 ай бұрын
Hi, this is a great question. Sometimes ears spontaneously get better over time, so there may be a change on a repeat VNG. However, that's not the goal of VRT/brain exercises- they can help your brain adapt regardless of whether the ear function changes. In many cases, after VRT, the VNG results would be the same. In other words, a VNG just detects inner ear issues without considering the brain adaptation.

Hi Laura, I have definitely heard this before! Several community members have asked about this and shared that they found very useful meditations on Insight Timer- it's a free meditation app and when you search for "dentist," there are a ton of them. Give one of those a try, I promise if the anxiety is lower and you're telling your brain you're safe, the visit will be much easier.

My surgeon is not familiar with pppd, but thankfully I am! I now see bright spots sometimes, but it happens when I get very upset or worried. He still said my brain looks great. I went through so much! I bawled after we ended our call. After a year, I finally transitioned off my walker! Then a cane, now only a cane when I need it. Still having a tough time with sleep and stress, so the dizziness is pretty high. Sending you a big smile from WA! Also, I had some sessions with Megan A. and she was so great and insightful for me.

My dizziness had gotten better the past three months it improved so much. Last weekend I woke up with vertigo but it went away. All of a sudden yesterday everything was fine and mid morning I was very dizzy and wobbly lasted the rest of the day. Today i still feel off balance but not as bad as yesterday. Should I restart VRT ? Or just wait and see.
