As your mum, this was the hardest thing I've ever been through 😢 and that was just a tiny fraction of what you had to actually experience 💔 But...I'm so proud of you. You are stronger than you ever give yourself credit for. And it's a joy to see you back in life AND now helping others through it. You're amazing. Never forget it ❤
Thank you for sharing, both of you, it is truly beautiful and you've no idea how many people you are helping. Sending you love and wishing you all good things for the future. 🙏💜
Shout out to the Steady Coach !!! I felt like I was going to be crazy and then I found her on TH-cam and finally someone understood and knew how to help! That’s where I found Dan, too!
Thank you for letting me share my story! Of course there’s always more I could say 😅 but I hope anyone going through dizziness will see this and know they’re not stuck or broken! 🙏🏼🤍
I hope you don't misunderstand me, but I'm glad that it's a recovery journey that wasn't over after a few weeks or months. ❤For me, it takes a little longer and I often conclude that I'm doing something wrong and put myself under a lot of pressure. Not helpful...
Hearing Megan’s story awhile back is actually what kickstarted my own dizziness healing journey. Now I’m right behind her. Megan, I hope you know how inspirational you are.
I love the last thing, "I'm not calling this chronic dizziness anymore. I'm calling it temporary dizziness." So hopeful. Been in this dizziness mind body journey for almost 18 months, but have really seen a shift over the last few months thanks to Dan, Yonit, Joey, Angie, Vanessa... Keep up the good work if spreading this message.
Derealization was the first to go, now some dizziness and the feeling of walking in clouds. Coming from long covid. I have recovered so much due to just being unbothered and sending signals of safety.
Thank you for sharing, Megan. You give me hope. I’ve had chronic, progressive dizziness for three years now. Panic disorder is more than challenging to live with. Glad you came through!
Another great inspiring, hopeful success story. I like when she said I am not my symptoms. As a wise person ( I think it was Caroline Myss) "You are more than medical labels and physical sensations" . Eckhart Tolle " You are more than name and form. Thanks Dan and Megan. 🤗♥
Waauw this story is recognizable! And the recovery as well. I started with Joey Remedy but it wasn’t for me… maybe I was too anxious still at that moment in recovery. Months later I found the steady coach and she had some things that helped but when i saw Dan with the steady coach something clicked. I joined Dan’s group in nov 22 and had my first oke-ish christmas jn years. And in 2023 i just kept on getting better and better and even became pregnant. Now i have a little baby girl and living a pretty normal live. I still have symptoms and when i get the flu or something I still can have a day of panic.. but i now know what to do! It really really works! And the best way to get better is trying to engage in your normal life with baby steps and make the steps bigger every time. I still watch Dan’s videos and these succes stories because i have times i doubt myself again. And after seeing this story i feel my confidence coming back! I had a whole pregnancy and delivery without any setbacks isn’t that enough proof? But quess your brain just wants to keep you safe and dealing with set backs is just what life is. I am so so grateful for people like Dan and Megan. Thanks for sharing ❤
Love it love it love it. If you'd like to share your story, get on my calendar here: TalkWithDan.com - either way, thrilled to hear of your success. And congrats on the baby!!!
Great recovery Megan! I’ve started doing more ‘normal’ things last few weeks and symptoms do lesson whilst doing it , but then I get kick back few days later. I need to remind myself that that’s normal and to keep going
What an amazing story. If I can use one word to describe you, it would be "strong". I am so happy for your success. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
I haven't finished watching this yet, but everything you are telling us about how this all started is so similar to me. I had an extremely stressful few months at work and started feeling off. It's as though my brain is taking a second or so to catch up with my eyes. So weird. I had all the tests that showed nothing and i self diagnosed myself with PPPD, here in Australia not many Drs have even heard of PPPD and just fobbed me off. I also found Joey and was lucky to also get a scholarship to do her course. I am much better now than i was. But sometimes still get the disconnected feeling and the feeling of moving when I'm still , especially when visually stimulated. Thank you for telling your story 💜
Flight induced MdDS 24/7 for the last 6 and a half years. I went to Mount Sinai and did almost all the treatments. I live my life in the clouds, but I have kept my life and career going with a deep determination and a lot of faking it. Thank you to Dan and Dr. Yo for providing a forum for people like me. I can only hope it will eventually go away, but I am trying to make lemonade out of lemons. MdDS has destroyed me from the inside; however, I just keep going and hope for stillness. Need to get ready for work tomorrow.
Don't hope. Commit to conveying safety consistently until it outweighs the brains false perception of danger. DansFastStart.com - maps the way forward. Watch, take notes, implement, repeat until well.
DPDR was also one of my worst symptoms. Most of it is gone now. It makes me so happy to finally see derealization represented! Still trying to build up the courage to approach you for my success story Dan!
Megan, it resonated so much when the physio said you were too anxious to recover. I so badly want to be able to just take things one day at a time, to trust the process and focus on messages of safety today, but I’ve always had mild anxiety and it’s exploded with my symptoms. I have constant thoughts about never getting better, how will I cope with life events while feeling this bad, etc, and just today before seeing your video I said to my husband that I’m too much of an anxious person to recover. I feel so trapped by my own mind. How did you learn to sit easier with the fear?
Try not to convince yourself you are too anxious to recover. You are NOT some special kind of broken. Most people feel that way in the beginning. th-cam.com/video/ICnw4Kq7dBA/w-d-xo.html Believe you can. Decide you will. Commit to it. th-cam.com/video/5ahOyvKvuY4/w-d-xo.html
@ Thanks, Dan! Just earlier today on my ‘reassuring thoughts’ list I wrote “You are not special or unique” in relation to my brain trying to dismiss recovery stories because ‘I’m different’!
I went down a Google rabbit hole. I was told I had peripheral neuropathy and the information online about it is bloody grim. I assume my health anxiety stems from my dad dying from cancer when I was 17, he was 44. I’m 55 now. I have a Neurologist follow-up appointment in March and I visualise myself ringing up and cancelling it because I’m symptom-free by then.
Yes, about 10 minutes into this success story, she talks about a concussion. Watch it here: th-cam.com/video/H6zIJ20omk8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qCIlvUHyOhTQUxbz
Checking your heart beat regularily or body is anxiety response a form of control and fear and OCD when u force ur self to stop this u start healing. As happened to me
Yes the obsessive nature definitely didn’t help when it came to the dizziness symptoms either!! Letting that control go was a big part of my journey, but I couldn’t force it - it definitely took love and patience with myself🤍
Dan got ne out of bed. Do normal things despite Any circumstance dan? Depression? Anxiety? Symtoms? Diagnosed with whatever disease etc...?? If so this just boosted me and im sure it will boost others.
Thank you Megan, thank you Dan. I've just started accepting invitations for lunch with girlfriends, and dinners with other couples. Going to restaurants has been a big fear of mine since covid hit, so overcoming this activity is a big deal. I must say, when symptoms started coming up during the meal, I let them be and got more engaged into the conversation. Realizing I was with ppl I love and who love me made me feel safe and got me thru. So now looking forward to seeing more and more friends and doing more fun stuff. ❤
I have Ménière’s for 10 yrs with 67 percent tight caloric weakness per VNG testing. I have done some of Joeys exercises but do you recommend vestibular rehab or anything like that? Have completed a mind body program and saw shifts in reducing fear and living my life daily which has been positive. Dizziness remains but vertigo has improved. Thx!
I have the same sensations. A difference for me is that the car is actually my worst trigger. I am always a passenger, and It feels like it’s the worst amusement park ride. I feel like I am shaking my brain and neck back-and-forth, can feel every bump, and I’ve taken to leaning the seat back and propping myself up with pillows because of the pain. I have tried visualization and breathing. Nothing so far has worked. Do you guys have any suggestions about making my car experience better.
Anything you can do to make yourself more comfortable is totally fine, pressing your head back into the car seat will help stabilise it more. There is probably a lot of danger associated with the car, perhaps you can begin by just sitting in the car when it’s off, do some deep breathing and teach your brain to feel relaxed. Baby steps!
You mean muscle tension? Yes! Something I forgot to mention was in the beginning, my legs actually felt like they were heavy, they also felt like they weren’t completely attached my body sometimes! My arms also felt really weak sometimes.
As your mum, this was the hardest thing I've ever been through 😢 and that was just a tiny fraction of what you had to actually experience 💔 But...I'm so proud of you.

Being in a moving vehicle also works for me. Strange, that.

Wow, I realized this year that smoking weed when I was 16 was when my heart anxiety started. I did the exact same thing! We are so similar! Thank you!
Megan, you are amazing ❤ this is inspirational & gives me hope. Thank you for sharing ❤
I’m so happy I could encourage you 🙏🏼🤍

Reducing fear is excellent!
You could always try some vestibular exercises but I believe real life can be rehabilitation too.
