    Symptoms vary from person to person as do triggers but as ive said I don’t think that dizziness is part of VM. I don’t think you can self diagnose this as it’s complicated. Much better to get appt with specialist

    I have been struggling with PPPD / ocular migraine for 20 years Recently last year my pppd got way worse, maybe was triggered because of a vestibular/ocular migraine repetition over time which created a hyper sensitivity to the vestibular system i will share my experience hopefully it helps some of you : Initially i tried getting help with a chiropractic but after a few hours and the next day the trigger points where he pressed made me feel a lot worse to a point where the next day i couldnt even walk without losing balance, so that did not help even tho i did a few sessions. I later tried vestibular physiotherapy for 5-6 month that consist of a combinations of exercice i fully commited to do them and there was no improvement at all. What i noticed is more muscles tension from exercices = more inflammation = more symptoms of dizzness and vertigo. Along side in the period of my chiro and vestibular physio treatment i started talking anti inflammatory supplements and magnesium supplement i tried magnesium oxide for 2 month magnesium glycinate for 5 month 2 differents brands and magnesium theronate and i can tell you from my experience none of these helped me i was having so much problems with my gut health : bloating Nausea, lot of burping, brain fog due to these supplement. What i learned is take care of your gut health: eliminate all the food that make you feel uncomfortable and the ones you can not tolerate it will help you a lot with your brain fog, dizzness and vertigio associated with pppd or migraines During the journey i wanted to mention i also tried going to osteopath which i also did not benefit and at all : more muscle tension after treatement more inflammation more symptoms more vertigo I was also recommended to try acupuncture which led to the same previous results but was effective in helping with muscle tension Overall what really helped me the most is taking care of my gut health and obviously there is a gut brain axis connection linked with PPPD I also wanted to add the big importance of good continuous non interrupted sleep that have a big role in brain regeneration and neurotransmitters good functioning which are responsable of many roles including troubles with balance and vertigo.. i can say that im about 60 to 70% better with my symptoms my tolerance in big visual stimuli stores is better, driving is better, watching action movie which use to trigger my symptoms is better but i still have some symptoms present at a low-mid level I hope you all find this helpful and that your journey to recover gets better, do not lose hope, try what you are comfortable with go step by step but it is possible to get better. I wish you all the best !!!

    Can I just say that I live in the Netherlands. There is a mandatory basic insurance here but health care is then fully accessible to all.. I feel so sorry for those in the US who are dependent on health insurance through their jobs. It is totally unacceptable in a wealthy modern nation where health is not available for all. PS: so far I'm told I probably have Menieres because I've had multiple episodes of sudden dizziness with nausea where I have to lie down quickly & then sleep for hours (anything from 3 to 22hrs) Also have tinnitus & decreased hearing. I take Betahistine, which until recently has worked well...but also know my balance especially riding my bike is becoming impaired. I wish everyone here watching on this channel the very best finding a diagnosis & treatment for their vestibular problem. Vestibular issues are known to be very difficult to diagnose. Like other things it is an invisible complaint so often hard for others to be understanding about.

      I find it really does have benefits and drawbacks for every country. The benefits we have over here seem to be a larger concentration of physicians with a focus on VM. I do have a lot of folks overseas that I end up referring to my neurologist just because they cannot get any help through their current system. If you have a doctor you love there please let me know. I'll add them to my international doctor list. :)

    I get similar but less severe version of symptoms during and after my menstrual cycle. Therefore no one could actually told me there is a version of migraine without headache. After having these episodes for ten years, I got the diagnosis yesterday. I always thought I am having extreme and weird menstrual symptoms. I’m writing here maybe there are people who are like me, not always but periodically experiencing vestibular migraine. Thanks for sharing your story and may you all get better soon.

    • @TheDizzyCook
      @TheDizzyCook หลายเดือนก่อน

      One thing I'd recommend is having your ferritin and hemoglobin checked. I have my VM pretty under control now but was having odd symptoms especially around that time that I figured were migraine. It turned out to be extremely low ferritin and iron infusions have helped with a lot of those symptoms. If it is a VM issue, I recommend Dr Beh's book Victory over Vestibular Migraine. He has a vitamin e protocol in there that also seems to be helpful, along with pre-treating.

Male and Female Docs. So NO, it’s not just because you are a woman. I started taking my wife with me to visits, and guess what? Yes I was treated CONSIDERABLY better. The medical industry is full of a bunch of Narc docs. If they can’t put you in a box, then they want you to just get out. It’s an EGO thing. I have been dealing with this abuse now for over a decade and I am in much worse now than when I started this journey thru hell. Living in a smaller city doesn’t help for sure, but that’s not the primary reason for such a corrupt failure of treatment….. Egos…..

      Welcome to hell, my brother - stay a while and listen... As a small child under the age of 7 and in the early 70s, I was diagnosed with a headache, but it was not recognized as a migraine. Back then, every doctor could choose what they understood as a migraine. And a small child likes to make things up... they said. The attacks disappeared during puberty, and it was not until I was 19 that I developed vestibular migraines with persistent aura phases. From then on, as a young man, I was treated in the same way as you. When I went to my GP with this first severe attack, he just said that the illness I am describing doesn't exist. I shouldn't be so lazy and go to work. I did that for many years until I was completely exhausted. Despite having completed my vocational training with a star, I was portrayed as lazy. After obtaining a university entrance qualification and then studying at university, the doctors' diagnosis slowly changed to psychological. It was only 27 years later that I became aware of migraines through the comorbidity of visual snow and finally received a clear diagnosis from several neurologists in a pain clinic. At that time I had already been completely unable to work for years due to a completely chronic illness. My migraine disease is extremely complex and could have taken a different course if treated in time. I even experienced an orthopedist doubting my diagnosis because I was actually in good health. You can't make this up... Hang in there! What else can we do?! All the best to you from Germany.

      ​@@freeandcriticalthinker4431 Oh man, now I have to tell you all about the depression *box,* it fits so well. Years ago I was in a special clinic for dizziness. As they couldn't measure the vertigo, I was accused, as always, of just making it up and that I should take my antidepressants. The faster I did that, the faster I would get better. I already knew at the time that with a vestibular migraine, the vertigo cannot necessarily be measured using the usual measuring methods with technical equipment. When I explained this to the young doctor, he asked me if I knew what he was doing all day. I had to accept that I was suffering from depression and anxiety disorders, period! Take your antidepressants! In the clinic where I was diagnosed, no modern measuring methods were used on me. I asked why? The doctor in charge said that no one had ever measured anything before. So why repeat it again?! Instead, I had to touch various parts of my body with my index fingers, among other things. When I had finished, he said, "Well done, you made it through the door on your first attempt." At the time, I was really suffering from vertigo, and at night I felt like I was standing on my head while lying in bed. At the same time, I was moving in all directions. He and his colleague were able to recognize the vertigo because I had to correct myself several times just before I hit the body part that was being pointed out. I didn't notice anything myself. It's just normal. Neither of them had the slightest doubt that I could hardly stand on my feet. Why am I telling you all this... well, the first medication I was given was a drug for vertigo. We call it flunarizine. As a side effect, it can trigger depression in 10% and more, depending on age. Guess what? So I had a drug-induced psychotic depression for a good two years. The good thing about it? Today, I can clearly say that I had never had depression in my entire life up to that point and never again since. I was stuck in the depression *box* for well over 25 years! During depression, you naturally have suicidal thoughts all the time. However, I also had phases outside of depression, just with migraines, where I thought, dear universe, turn off the light, that's enough. If I don't wake up tomorrow, then I won't be angry with anyone. You can hardly make anyone understand that, because most people never get to that point in their lives. And I'm angry! The suspicion that I received from doctors for decades is to blame. In all the years before my diagnosis, I only had one doctor who said, I believe you that something is wrong, but I don't know what. Unfortunately, the good lady is now retired, and can't be found, otherwise I would have thanked her for that one sentence. And I can't count the number of doctors I've been to. I'm in better times at the moment (reasonably better), but you keep asking yourself whether life is really worth living. There are days when I can't even make it to the mailbox. But then there's my wife, the children, the grandchildren, the cats, the garden... and let's be honest, when I'm dead, they'll only be allowed to bury me up to my waist, otherwise who's going to take care of the flowers and plants on the grave?

    I recently bought Sumac and I love the flavor. It lingers and I like that. I'm just about a week into the diet. My neurologist suggested it. I actually have known about your sight for a while. I just hadn't gotten around to it. The Mediterranean meatballs were delicious. I do know chocolate and caffeine are fine with me. I only do a cup of coffee a day and every drink thereafter is caffeine free. Soy I can do but only limited because my belly says no after a while. Lol I am dairy free but mostly bc my body has retaliated and I can use the restroom. Lol some food we already don't eat bc my middle child has a stoma and those foods can either bulk too much or clog. So like beans and nuts and bananas. Just to name a few. And she's also sensitive to dairy and eggs. So my son is the only one having actual milk. I'm hoping it helps. I don't get dizzy all the time but I'm still hoping this will help with the now 6 migraines a month. I am on meds that have helped a lot because I was getting 11 migraines a month for about 7 years. I was in my early thirties and am now am in my early 40s. I do know that too much sunlight, heat, stress, poor sleep (hello insomnia, yes I have meds for that) and exertion are no bueno for my migraines. The rest I wasn't sure on but that's why I'm trying this diet.

    I remember I was about 5 years old, live in Pakistan a small town. I suffer this experience, my parents took me to the local government hospital and they treated me for iron deficiency. Now I am 39 I have come to know that what I suffered was vestibular migraine. I have faced it time by time like whenever I take kidney beans and coffee in high quantities. Thank you for your explanation and awareness ☺️... Stay blessed 🙏

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I recently was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines. Super hesitant to get on medication but Neuro said I could start with Magnesium Glycinate to see if it helps. I will be watching your content to see if I can get ideas on how to approach this holistically. So glad I found you! ❤
