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...
Hi Megan! I wanted to ask you that do you still get bppv or not?? And if you do then how do you manage it?? Cause I was doing so well with the recovery but just 2 days ago had a very massive attack of bppv. I have done the epley maneveur many times and it isn't helping. Now it feels like all the hard work I had done over the past few months just went down the drain and I'm feeling really demotivated.
Ahhh my story is SO similar to yours although I’ve had ME/cfs on top of this annoyingly for 16 years. But literally the exact same journey as yours and the fear of fear. I’ve been trying to do things with the symptoms and not fear the dizzy! I’m glad you shared this story 😊
Long term ME/CFS diagnosis here too. I'm fairly certain that can come under the umbrella of TMS too.....I've seen a few success stories there. Best wishes for your recovery. x
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.
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!
Happy to see Megan on here ❤️ she was a huge inspiration to me while I was recovering from my chronic dizziness and still is. So glad to see she is still doing well!
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!!!
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. 🤗♥
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
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 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.
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.
thanks for sharing... This makes me feel less anxious now.. I judge my symptomsso much... never ending loop.... Can you tell me more about how you are healing please? I am at rock bottom some days
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.
Thankyou so sooo much Dan and Megan for this awesome recovery story so full of inspiration and simple, easy to follow ideas, share alot of tms symptom similarities -i know the info applies to any symptom really, but it really is encouraging to hear of similarities haha😅🙏 defo one of my absolute favorites ❤
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’!
@@sarahallen9315 Hey! I feel you. I am afraid of not recovering and not being able to function because of this fatigue and brain fog. It makes me more pannicky and anxious even when I try to accept it. It is like neverending horror. I can't seem to draw line in the sand for my thoughts. How do you function if only you want is to sleep? :( This is so hard. I hope you are better at least ❤
I had diziness and all of the symptoms you are talking about as part of my journey. But I was so lucky, that I could react very calmly to the dizziness from the beginning. Years ago I had positional vertigo and so I knew what to do and what was happening. In the night it felt like laying on a spinning boat. And I just tried to stay calm. I remember thinking in this nights that it would be soooo scary, if I wasn't knowing what it is. My body always reacted very intense and was in panic, but because my mind stayed calm I was fine. So it always went away after two weeks. I didn't knew it then, but now hearing your interview, I understand that, I did the exact right thing so that it didn't became chronic. For me it was one of the less stressfull symptoms in my journey😂. But it is for sure one of the most unpleasant.
Oh my gosh!that what I call it. Superman vision! I'm glad someone else refers to it that way. I also feel like I'm looking thro a fishbowl...or under water..and perception is off
For me when I walk , normally your body adjusts to the movement for me I’d see me bob up and down while I walk…so my eyes wouldn’t adjust to the movement….its really annoying . Life is like looking thru a shaky camera …
@@Megan_Jennifer if I take a low dose Xanax .25mg it will reduce the motion by about 80%….but only lasts 4-5 hours. It’s unfortunate seems to be the only thing that has helped over the last few years, I’ve tried ssri and other meds but the side effects are a lot worse then the Xanax….Xanax the only side effects I have from it so far are a little bit of short term memory loss or being able to come up with things fast. So it definitely takes your sharpness away…which sucks, but it makes the day manageable…..for a full year and a half I didn’t take anything and basically it was impossible to function. Getting up to microwave a plate of food was challenging….the dizziness was so extreme. ( pppd) it for sure has improved this past year, but I’m not out of the woods yet. I have had random moments of clarity, 4am in the kitchen, where briefly for a Few minutes almost all symptoms are gone….lasts like 3 min-5 min. So that reassures me that my original normal self is somewhere here.somewhere just needs to come back .
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.
Before an appointment I Feel and imagine the best case. I continue to feel better, they find nothing serious but are kind and gentle so then my system is affirmed that it made mistake, perceived danger vs real danger.
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!
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🤍
I can’t wait to share my testimony my whole body tms im convinced my doctor appointments are endless along with my symptoms . Im still hopeful that I will get through this and share with everyone
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.
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.
Mine never went away, I was motion-triggered with MdDS in 2023. All I can say is it depends on the person. You can do everything right - reducing fear, and anxiety, treating it early, living life, not goggling symptoms or being in FB groups (I actually told them to F off after Day 1), working, traveling, going out with friends, being happy internally, trying to ignore it - basically doing everything correctly and it can still be there, especially when you have 24/7 bobbing/floating internally and out of your eyes. Putting people in an “everyone can recover” basket isn’t always the case. Do you put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to life? I don’t think so. The best thing that got me through the worst of it a long time ago was accepting that it may or may not go away and stopped listening to justifications. I also don’t believe in the word hope because it’s a gray area word with nothing concrete to it. I had doctors that would tell me I would recover within a year (so it would’ve been Feb. 2024 of this year) and that they were excited and hopeful - it was all lies and it never fully resolved exactly when it would, so I stopped going to them. I have been lingering in the same %ile for almost another full year (so I’m anywhere between a 1-3 on the MdDS scale), I don't regress or get totally worse, it just lingers. Right now as I type this, I am maybe a 2-3 because of the holidays + travel, but big freaking deal, I got things I gotta get done. Most days I fight it but I end up winning because I can still handle it and get things done, I'm a creative and I just have a ton of energy despite MdDS. Oh, and I sleep 8-10 hours a night...makes no sense, huh? My func neuro told me toward the end of me seeing him in August that “the prognosis wasn’t looking good” and I was relieved because I was just sick and tired of the sugar coating words for months. No tears, nothing, I felt at peace that I finally had a realistic answer. I also FINALLY had a new neuro tell me that he has seen people with MdDS fully resolve, are so severe that they never recover and are on disability, or they improve to a certain spot and just stay there. He thinks I’m the latter. I have done a ton of different treatments consistently and they all helped get me to a certain point. No one really has a full blown answer on how to resolve MdDS because everyone is very different. I do think mind + body work helps certain people but not everyone. No one knows what their brain is or isn’t going to do, there’s no timeline and there might not ever be a timeline. You just gotta live your life with determination and accept that it may or may not go away.

Hi , THE DIZZINESS, THE ANXIETY , ALL IS THE PAIN/TMS/PDP
Me too 4 years!
Yes - all Perceived danger. Safety is the solution.
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!
Reducing fear is excellent!
You could always try some vestibular exercises but I believe real life can be rehabilitation too.
I have also been diagnosed with Menieres. Do you think it could be TMS? Do you have hearing loss?
@@michellemurphy7674Menieres is not likely to be TMS. But that doesn’t mean you can’t feel better!
Have you checked out Joey Remenyi?
What a great story and honestly explained 👌😃 Dan do you have any video with concussion symptoms 🙏
Yes, about 10 minutes into this success story, she talks about a concussion.

@@PainFreeYou Hi Dan. Great, thank you very much :-)
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🤍
This is great! Can we hear more ling covid histamine and Mcad stories? Please
Scroll through the success stories - there are more. PainFreeYouSuccess.com
I can’t wait to share my testimony my whole body tms im convinced my doctor appointments are endless along with my symptoms . Im still hopeful that I will get through this and share with everyone
You are well on your way.

Dizzy is a common symptom. It's reversible. DansFastStart.com - for ideas.

wow megan!!!
Awesome
I can relate some days I don't take a shower--- just depressed
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!
Megan, did you also struggle with tension? I always feel like this increases my dizziness...
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.
Yes, muscle tension in the back and neck and legs
@ I definitely had a lot of strange muscular symptoms!
I think it's because of the fear
Mine never went away, I was motion-triggered with MdDS in 2023. All I can say is it depends on the person.
You can do everything right - reducing fear, and anxiety, treating it early, living life, not goggling symptoms or being in FB groups (I actually told them to F off after Day 1), working, traveling, going out with friends, being happy internally, trying to ignore it - basically doing everything correctly and it can still be there, especially when you have 24/7 bobbing/floating internally and out of your eyes.
Putting people in an “everyone can recover” basket isn’t always the case. Do you put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to life? I don’t think so.
The best thing that got me through the worst of it a long time ago was accepting that it may or may not go away and stopped listening to justifications. I also don’t believe in the word hope because it’s a gray area word with nothing concrete to it. I had doctors that would tell me I would recover within a year (so it would’ve been Feb. 2024 of this year) and that they were excited and hopeful - it was all lies and it never fully resolved exactly when it would, so I stopped going to them.
I have been lingering in the same %ile for almost another full year (so I’m anywhere between a 1-3 on the MdDS scale), I don't regress or get totally worse, it just lingers. Right now as I type this, I am maybe a 2-3 because of the holidays + travel, but big freaking deal, I got things I gotta get done. Most days I fight it but I end up winning because I can still handle it and get things done, I'm a creative and I just have a ton of energy despite MdDS. Oh, and I sleep 8-10 hours a night...makes no sense, huh?
My func neuro told me toward the end of me seeing him in August that “the prognosis wasn’t looking good” and I was relieved because I was just sick and tired of the sugar coating words for months. No tears, nothing, I felt at peace that I finally had a realistic answer.
I also FINALLY had a new neuro tell me that he has seen people with MdDS fully resolve, are so severe that they never recover and are on disability, or they improve to a certain spot and just stay there. He thinks I’m the latter. I have done a ton of different treatments consistently and they all helped get me to a certain point.
No one really has a full blown answer on how to resolve MdDS because everyone is very different. I do think mind + body work helps certain people but not everyone. No one knows what their brain is or isn’t going to do, there’s no timeline and there might not ever be a timeline. You just gotta live your life with determination and accept that it may or may not go away.
Hi Megan it sounds to me like your still not fully symptom free? Do you still get on with life with symptoms in the background?
Watch funny movies. It gives your brain the message everything is ok.
I AM SOOOOOOOO SPEERITUAL... I AM A COACH NOW...MY PARTNER..no offence Dan, have loved your other down to earth guests
