I was directed to this video by your staff person, Tara, as I was dealing with some increases in symptoms while enjoying my family outings. Thank you again and I think you explain things better than anyone I have ever met-you really anticipate any questions and answer them, I love that! I love the help and hope you've given me. Shelley
"That little spark of hope" when you first understand that there IS the chance that you can feel better....that's what I will always remember in my journey with vestibular migraine and learning about you and your wonderful treatments. You have helped me so much in the last month that just knowing that it's possible to feel better and that the dizziness and nausea may not always be with me was life changing! I told a neighbor who was not living a quality life because of her chronic dizziness about you, and she was so happy to feel that same spark of hope after watching one of your videos. You are wonderful, Dr. Yo. Thank you for starting me on this new journey of learning to live a better life. I know it will be hard work, but I'm ready and eager to do it.
Oh Cheri, thank you so much for this. I had a tough weekend (nothing terrible) and was feeling stressed out today about coming to check my TH-cam comments but this one just made my day. Thank you for reminding me about what matters.
How are you ?
Clicked so fast! Thank you for this ❤️ may we all have hope and guidance through our recovery! It gets better! Just breathe through it all.
You are so very welcome Nicolene!
This is me my symptoms go up and down and when they are down boy oh boy I feel it and emotions run high. I have learned to calm my worrying and negative thoughts thank you for all your videos they have helped me so much still have symptoms everyday but reminding helpful and faithful
You're so welcome, Iris! I know this is hard, but I believe in you and your healing! ❤
Thank you. A very encouraging video. I see myself as at stage three with glimpses of stage four. Changing my relationship with symptoms is key. Also focusing on how I want feel instead of always looking out for unsteadiness. And not blaming myself or comparing myself with others
Yes, Judy, so proud of you! This is amazing insight! It will rapidly pay off.
Dr. Yo- we all have big love for you! Thank you so very much for all that you have given and for the knowledge that you have! I feel so thankful for you!❤
Aww, Karis, thank you! ❤
thank you for the video💛 ! Really hope i am on recovery , last year was perfect my symptoms were 90% gone but this year had an extinction burst and now my symptoms are up and down but im mostly feeling better these days and thinking positively . I think i still need more time for my brain to finally recover !
I believe in you! These things take time. But you are already stronger and more resilient than you were before.
I would just like to say a big thank you from Australia all this stuff is not really recognised here.
Drs don’t get it or understand it here
So it’s good for me to be able to listen to this and show my Drs so thank you Thankyou
You are so welcome, Diane! Thank you for trusting me! It is truly my privilege ❤
Thank you so much for this important and informative stage process. It makes it much clearer which stage I am in and to not feel confused when I have a setback 🙏🏼🌸
So glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for this video Dr Yo. Its been so helpful to me.
I've also shared it to 2 FB groups for ppppd / vestibular migraine.
Your hair looks really pretty like that too ❣️
Aw, thank you so much! I am so grateful that you shared it to the groups. I feel weird about self promoting so I don't usually share them. I think it makes more sense that if it resonates with someone who's suffering from this issue, he or she can share it. It was just one of those good hair days and I am so glad I captured it on camera!
This has been the most rewarding video I have seen to explain my progress over the past few months. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Truly appreciate it.
Brilliantly helpful, thank you. Particularly struck by the stating of doubt as a symptom. Makes perfect sense!
I've never met someone who skips right in to my office and says, "YEP! It's mindbody syndrome for sure!"
@@TheSteadyCoach actually my doubt is never whether it is or isn’t psychogenic as I 100% know it is. My doubt is more sneaky! It’s about whether I am capable of changing my neurology!
So glad I found you a month ago. Tomorrow is my 5 month mark. I feel very lucky to have found your channel this early in my recovery.
Leon! I'm so glad you found me early, too! That's one of my favorite things- when people find me early and don't have to go through unnecessary suffering.
Somebody posted this video in the new Facebook group and wow, I’m clearly solidly in stage 4. Love the clarity in this! Thank you!
I love the steady coach so much !! Hope hope hope and progress 🙏
Yes 🙌 🙌
Thank you for the words that are breathing life into me , so grateful
You're very welcome, Denise!
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you.
This is me. Thank you so much. !! Dr. Yo doesn’t just end with “everyone is different” like most other people. The 4 stages are so helpful. And accurate. I see myself going through these exactly as she says! Thank you Dr. Yo. You are the best.
You're very welcome!
You’ve described my recovery process to a T. I’ve had a really hard time finding info on what recovery feels like, and you articulate it so well. This was so helpful and reassuring - thank you for addressing questions we all have!
❤️❤️ It is truly my privilege, Courtney. Thank you for trusting me in your journey.
Does it take time for the brain to get used to not being dizzy? I was fuzzy daily for about 7 months after going through tons of medical testing and only once I started physical therapy did I start to see improvement. I’m finding now that I almost anticipate dizziness as my symptoms are starting to wane, and it can feel a little strange to not feel it because I’d gotten used to it in a sense. Even though it was hell.
All that to say that I am hoping to get back to a place where I rarely think about dizziness anymore.
I have started my "trip" with chronic dizines 2 months ago 😢 every day is a struggle to get up of bed. Those recovery stories help a lot thank you
You are so welcome Natalia. I have more coming soon too. The playlists Chronic Dizziness Stories and Success Stories both have these kinds of stories!
@@TheSteadyCoach that is great news!! I thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. We all really appreciate it. God bless you ♥ 🤗
Wow! This was so informative! Based on this video, I'm between stage 3 and 4 of my PPPD. I was diagnosed in October 2022. My initial vestibular insult was vestibular neuritis in May of 2022. I was so freaked out by it that PPPD was inevitable since I also have anxiety issues. I'm currently in CBT, VRT and watching your videos. The combination of these treatments and your videos seems to be having a real effect!
The symtoms are better some days and worse other days but now that I know now this works, I'm no longer afraid when I get dizzy. It's more like I treat it like as if I've had a few drinks so I just, "enjoy the ride" so to speak. Doing so has reduced the duration of my symptoms when the come on.
If you have any questions about my PPPD journey feel free to ask. I'll be happy to talk about it since I'm still deep in it.
Fabulous progress, Mike! Thank you so much for sharing your experience because it will bring hope to everyone else who sees this.
How is your recovery now a days ??
So many things in this video describe me. I shared with a friend who I had literally just expressed doubts with, and how you said the doubt is built in and how we think “how could this not possibly be a tumor,?” It’s literally like God put this video right in front of me to confirm IT IS OK!
I go through moments of hope and then times of “will this ever be over?”
My symptoms have shifted which was also WILD.
I started with a panic attack, three days later BPPV, then dissociation, weird brain fog, spacey floaty feeling, fatigue, driving in the car was awful. Physical therapist says I’m still presenting like crystals in my L horizontal canal😑 so I’ve avoided sleeping on that side. I’ve also noticed that if I try to jog it’s like there’s a mismatch with my brain/eyes/movement that’s hard to explain like I feel weirdest on the side of my head that still has crystals but both eyes are impacted and it makes my head feel off. I don’t know if anyone else would understand what I’m trying to share.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks so much for all you do because it’s helped with my anxiety! Be well Dr. Yo.
Oh and headaches! Did have those in the beginning but now am having those and eye strain! 😑
Hi there, I’m so happy to hear that the videos have helped! When you still have an active crystal situation in your ear(s), weird symptoms are going to persist. Do your best to remind yourself over and over that you are safe and that your brain is just overresponding to these sensations. The doubt is normal and totally expected because the sensations can be so intense. I expect the sensations to clear up when the crystals are cleared- just keep reminding yourself that you are going to be ok.
I have chronic anxiety (had it before this chronic dizziness started) and the recovery pattern is so similar. I feel so fortunately that I have had previous experience with a chronic condition. ❤ Dealing with the anxiety of dizziness is such a huge part of the battle
It definitely is, Chelsea! Many of the same techniques are used. It can be part of the battle, but know you have the tools to heal!
@@TheSteadyCoach I've definitely turned a (very small) corner these last few days 👏
I feel way better about the symptoms lately! I’m no longer anxious about them which is a huge step forward! But I really want to heal completely now 😎
That is major progress, Megan! But we are not stopping there!
Me too!!🙌
How do you feel now Megan?
@@DiamondForevah visit her Chanel she’s amazing
Hope and courage not to be scared and don’t think of negativity.I have a question ,is it possible that dizziness may come back ?It’s not because i had doubts ,but sometimes i can’t get rid of thinking about that it might trigger or happen again but speaking of how i am and how i feel now ,i’m healed ,thank you so much for i found you .i saved the video ,and i listed down the exercises ,memorized them ,i passed them to my friends .Take care !You’re wonderful and amazing ,you’re God sent ,of course is God is first but you’re also my hope and refuge and i owe you!
Dr .Yo! you are saving me 🥺
❤️❤️❤️🤗
Your free course and "Healing Chronic Dizziness" workbook are helping me so much. I feel like I am stuck though between Discovery and Recovery. With journaling and all the course material I have Discovered/realized that I have been really stressed and have anger issues over injustices of the past and some continuing (extended family issues over which I have no control). I can feel stress over getting a rude customer service person on the phone for example. I realize now that I get triggered often and am now practicing calming techniques, but how do I keep from getting triggered over these issues time and time again - it's been a lifelong thing. It seems like the breathing and other calming techniques deal with the triggers but how do I KEEP from being trigger continually? Thank you for this work you are doing! It is the first time I have the belief that I can get better. The neurologists I've seen said Vestibular Migraine, PPPD and ocular migraine do not ever go away. I believe they will and I am persevering toward recovery.
Big question! I have a video that starts to talk about this but I'll have more content about this coming soon. One place to start is the book Living Like You Mean It. th-cam.com/video/9MWKH8XOoC8/w-d-xo.html
So helpful, thank you very much
You are so welcome Catherine!
You are awesome!!!
Aww, thank you so much Pedro!
I have had work one on one with doc lisa and just looking at ur stuff too helped me alot to recover from dizziness, my came after a concussion but also working with pass, . watching ur videos gives me alot of hope and I'm sure to people too like me , no one could have give me a hope or help , docts did their job but once I watched ur videos help me understand what it was, now after a couple months I'm 90 percent better I still get dizzy but u guys helped me alot to understand what to do and what not to do , hope more people benefit from u guys too thanks alot doctor!! Atte pedro!!
@Dr. Yo I’m so glad I watched this. It was helpful. I do have a question-at the end you mentioned standing on your head and it made me think about all the ways I changed the way I do things over the three decades of on-again, off-again (mostly on) NQR or general wooziness. When the symptom go away in the general day-to-day, how do you regain the ability to do things that your vest system hasn’t encountered in decades?! Is it exposure therapy?? Like. When I was a kid I was in gymnastics but now I couldn’t do a forward roll or even a handstand! Idk my system would know what to do with that! Or even flipping my head over to do my hair! How do I get back the things I lost? I’ve heard from a ballet teacher that the vest system is a muscle and if you don’t use it you lose it. So how can I help it get stronger once my general dizzy stuff is gone?
Wavo, I have had dips recent, As I felt Shit, not long ago.I
myself have thought, I start to get better, because I get such dips.
Feel lite more relax now.
Awesome, Arvid, glad it helped!
Re-watching this now.... I was going through anxiety and ocd hell when I developed pppd. I'm not just through stage 3, I know for definite now this is because of the anxiety and stress and the pandemic. Now at stage 4, my symptoms are going down and I'm losing interest in them and shifting. All the anxiety that was the initial cause has all come back. So! I'm dealing with it, getting there, day by day. Symptoms are way up, way down. Once I feel better with the anxiety and ocd I know the dizziness will gp. Xxx
This is all part of the process and completely normal for healing! You are on the right track, Chelsea!
O my God I got the same you have please o beg you text me back I like yo talk to you
Hi Chelsea. I read the two comments you’ve written on this post two different times. And your improvement gave me hope. Thank you.
May I ask did you have the feeling of floor moving when walking ?

Think you!
The spikes are scaring me..today is a big spike and it makes me feel like I'll never get well... 😢
Remember the doubt is part of the symptoms. Hang in there, you are not going to be stuck like this.
After living on a rocking boat for the last 18 years 24/7, seeing a mutitude of specialist, having had more tests than I can count, and trying all kinds of therapies still without a diagnosis, despite not losing hope....here I am still dizzy 24/7. If you have a cure for me......I will yell your name from the mountain tops.
Lizzy, this is the story I hear from many of my clients. Please, if you haven't already, take the course!! It's 100% free. It integrates a lot of the stuff I talk about on my channel plus a lot more. members.thesteadycoach.com
Lizzy, I have had constant rocking and swaying vertigo for 30 years. I have to sleep upright and cannot eat in restaurants anymore. I think I might have MDDS but not sure. Loud noises make me more dizzy. What have your doctors told you.
@@donaldricher8815 I never did get a diagnosis but have figured out my symptoms sound most like mdds, spontaneous, as there was no travel. I struggle with the same problems. I do eat out sometimes, but I'm uncomfortable and really have to talk to myself.
I highly suggest changing your TH-cam name! Dizzy lizzy... is that how you want to identify? 🥺 no way! You want to be steady lizzy!! Lol
@@Megan_Jennifer It is what it is
Does any of your info and resources apply to cervicogenic dizziness? Currently in VRT for it and having manual therapy done as well. Thanks!
Got a whole video on that for you! th-cam.com/video/Mjt67Ab6XQ8/w-d-xo.html many people who have cervicogenic symptoms have neural circuit dizziness!
Having a bad relapse. Shattered.
I'm sorry Rohita. I wish I could tell you that isn't part of the process, but it is. You will be ok.
Can chronic dizziness and visual problems be a part of me/cfs and fibromyalgia? ❤
Do you have a way for me to contact you to discuss my concerns and determine if this is truly my issue? I have been to doctor after doctor. They say my symptoms mimic pots but I didn’t pass the test. This started after my gallbladder was removed and then I was living in mold unknowingly and my thyroid was removed and then Covid and it continues to be hard each month for me at a certain time and also if I get a cold. I would love to talk to you and see if this all sounds like something your course could help with. Lightheaded, head buzzing, dizziness and migraine with light sensitivity are some of my major symptoms along with heart palpitations.
Are you saying PPPD is called by stress 2017 got a vertigo attack while I was driving went to the emergency room and was seen so by an Ent and he diagnosed me with vestibular neuritis and a few week later he said I had PPPD I told him he was crazy I was not taking meds I still deal with dizziness anxiety when it hits I haven’t driven on a highway since 2017 I still want to help myself where do I start I did vestibular therapy it did nothing for me, help
Hi Rosalia, it seems you have gone through a lot and the ups and downs of getting different diagnoses can be even more anxiety provoking. I hear that you are a strong person and want to move on from this. To answer your question, physical causes do need to be ruled out first as a cause, but PPPD is a "stress illness." Neuritis can be the start of PPPD but is usually not the cause. Most of the time there are stressors going on or a history of trauma that may bring on these symptoms. I am glad that you found my page. If you haven't already, please check out my free course on chronic dizziness at members.thesteadycoach.com.
Hi, dizziness followed by blurred vision followed by disassociation followed by terrible brain fog, this at last passed. Now I am suffering from only minor dizziness and disassociation, actually most of the day I feel no symptoms at all now thanks mainly to your help! Thank you so much. But recently I have been experiencing slight dizziness and nausea when I lay down in bed at night, is this just another symptom (previously my pppd would go when I was lying down) or something different like anxiety or a neck problem? Sometime now I experience slight nausea when I am standing and have slight dizziness too. Thank you again so much.
Jack, this is brilliant news, thank you for sharing! The "symptom drift" you are experiencing is a normal part of recovery. If you haven't seen this video yet, I address the changing symptoms: th-cam.com/video/APOw4MWc-Gc/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you from the bottom of my heart, honestly I don't know how I would have got better without your channel!

@@jackcarroll7885 how do you feel now jack?
@@DiamondForevah For 2 months I was pretty much back to normal, but I was suffering from neck pain (occipital neuralgia) due to tensing my neck during my bppv. The doctor gave me muscle relaxants, these made me feel dizzy, plus I had another bout of bppv (this time I knew what it was and got it fixed immediately) but due to these two things my pppd came back, it was quite bad for a few days, but since I knew I recovered last time I haven't worried about it at all, so it has got better fairly quickly (1 week) and now is almost nothing again. I didn't need to do the vestibular training for the last time I got well just by relaxing and using ear plugs and this time it has been the same.
Has anybody heard of Buspirone being used for PppD?
Hi! Unfortunately, medication is really not my forte so I am unable to advise either way. I wish you well on your healing path!
Its exactly what I felt…………speechless … as if you really really are understanding………….. Few months backI felt that I m really back to normal but then those spikes I hope started… Stage 4 I feel… not sure though
You will get to the other side. ❤️
@@TheSteadyCoach ❤️❤️
Can you please help me been in bed9 months extremely dizzy no dr will help me.
I am sorry you are going through this, Fran. My first recommendation is to go through my free course on healing chronic dizziness thesteadycoach.com/free-course. All of my techniques and recommendations are within this course. You are not alone!
Is it normal for the symptoms to intensify for as long as 3 weeks?
It really depends on the circumstances. I ask people to look at these factors to see if it might be one of these that are causing intensification. th-cam.com/video/XV7bJe-Nc-s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YG8WBpG-o18wmd77
So there is a possibility that people suffering from MdDs can recover? Its so rare to hear people recover from it , it makes me worried 😩
Oh yes. I’ll be interviewing a couple of them as soon as they feel ready to be on youtube. Don’t believe what you read in support groups about recovery rates. Remember that the only people who are in the groups are the ones who have not recovered. There is a big selection bias.
My dizziness started Decreasing and it's at about 15% (12 months vm/pppd) but I feel like my mental health really took a massive decline from it. I know there are things I still stress about- most I have no control over. I've 100% accepted my symptoms and just go about my day because I'm use to it now. It's no vid deal it doesn't alarm me. But my question is, is struggling with mental health to the point it controls your life, apart of the illness? I'm usually really good with getting myself out of a dark place and turning my mood around but I've just really been struggling for months now
So my view on this is that the dizziness and mental health symptoms come from the same place. I view them as part of the same syndrome. Of course the dizziness symptoms make things a whole lot worse, but often the people who I work with will look back afterwards and say, wow, there was a lot of stuff I wasn't addressing, and that can cause both dizziness and depression symptoms. I am so sorry you are going through this. Hang in there. You are not alone.
I understand you 100%
@@juancordeiro5507 I wrote that 7 months ago. It gets better. I think you truly need to address what's missing in your life and what brings you happiness and peace. I still have the occasional sad day, but I think it's more hormonal than anything else. I really hope things get better for you soon. You're definitely not alone. You're stronger than you realise ❤️

why do I feel more dizzy the day after I exercise, even if its a mild workout? I don't want to not move, but it makes me want to stay put
Keep doing it, takes a long time. I lift weights four days a week it doesn't contribute to my problems anymore. I'm 18 months in now still improving.
I'm sorry that's happening for you, Lianne! Like Sevn87 said, keep going. What you're experiencing is a temporary stress response that is adapting your body to exercise, and that can trigger dizziness when you are already dizzy. Make sure you're eating enough as well.
@@sevn8757 how long before your body got used to it and stopped reacting?
@@loveyourlifewithlianne ohh it's hard to say lol it's like she was saying it was terrible for 6 months than it was off and on for 6 months now I still have problems in stores, or walking long distances if I walk the dogs. It definitely feels like the more you do things the better you are in that environment till it goes away. It's not linear at all.
What about I’m not scary or thinking about anything just chilling laying in my bed 🛌 or couch 🛋 and there comes up this sinking feeling or floating feeling.
Is this also just a „emotional background“ problem? In my belive it’s not because there is no trigger symtomes just randomly are there like if there is a strong wind 🌬 I swear this wind is moving my crazy idk why …
Hi Levi, I know it is a very different way of thinking about these things than you may be used to. Check out the videos I linked in my reply to your other comment for some more info that might help.
@@TheSteadyCoach hi doc,
One think I’d like to know.
Is this kind of gravity pulling me to the ground while walking a comman pppd symtome? It’s hard to explain it’s like when I walk it’s like my body my face my head chest everything on my left side is be pulled from gravity. Somedays it’s really awful I can’t really walk properly on some moments.. I’m afraid why this Is still there.
2years ago I had vestibular belitar neuritis. Disfunction.
According to the ent calorics everything is fine again but this sinking feeling like gravity is pulling me is still there since 2years.
All other symtomes like fixasation Problem double seeing spinning 😵💫everything feeling on the boat everything went away even tinnitus.
Why this last symtome is still there.. ? Is there still the chance of recovery? 2years in I just want to live normal again work travel doing sport .. I give my best but it’s too hard to bare this for the rest of my life I can’t…
Im 25 I was always a very sporty guy now this is me…
Btw I really tried everything antidepressant taking to psychologist 👩⚕️ they say I’m fine I’m not even an anxious person. Of course I get anxous when out of nowwhere this gravity symtome hits… it’s everyday someday more some less but it’s always persistent
@@TheSteadyCoach please I need to know
Hiii doctor I want to ask u does this disorder will be there through out the life and what is the recovery process and does relapsing process of this disorder comes with low intensity because I heard most people recovered and then the symptoms hits them again I’m very depressed by this feel like to end my life but when I see my little baby face I get soo emotional 😭
Oh Be beautiful, I am so sorry you are experiencing this. These symptoms can be very isolating, but please know though that you are not alone and you CAN heal! Many people have healed from this and no longer have symptoms. This is not how it always has to be. If you have not already done so, I would recommend checking out my free course on healing chronic dizziness members.thesteadycoach.com/. Also, check out the recovery stories on my page.

Thankew dr yonit u are such a lovely person I always watch ur inspiring vedios I want to know the healing process is always occurs by relapsing the symptoms and intensity of symptoms get reduced by time
I'm 9 months and a half I got better between 15 and 20 percent but the rocking and swinging sensation is still there I always get relief in the afternoon and the siintoms change I pray to God so much it's so hard I'm dream always to keep improving I don't know what I have I know that have cokliar high drops and deficiency in my left ear but because of my simtoms I think I have pppd ijust want to know if there is someone that had recovered from this does anyone knows anyone please someone answer me
I’m so sorry, Juan. Yes, people fully recover. I have two playlists here to check out- Success Stories (mostly or fully recovered) and Chronic Dizziness Stories (recovering but doing much much better). There are many more people who I’m not interviewing and who are also recovered and recovering.

Yep, definitely a thing for some people, and it can come with visual dominance.
@@TheSteadyCoachDoctor Yo I started vrt last week, is it normal that after 10 minutes of exercises I feel my eyes and head getting so tired and heavy that I have to lie down and sleep? The oto neurologist who diagnosed me gave me also betahistine, choline and piracetam to help the CNS, what do you think?
That a big what if I’m losing hope
I'm sorry you're struggling. I have lots of resources, please look at my other videos.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you
One symptom of mine which is the biggest symptom is my eyes. If I look at recipes while standing in kitchen cooking I get pressure behind my eyes and it makes my head feel off slightly dizzy/achy where I need to shut them. I can't read very long as this happens too. Trying to order things online scrolling and reading same thing. Is this part of PPPD? This symptom is holding me back from stage 3 I believe.
Hi Pam, have you seen this one yet? th-cam.com/video/MsWYyDWuu_s/w-d-xo.html big time yes part of PPPD
@The Steady Coach thank you so much for your knowledge. ! I was wondering in that video you gave 3 visual exercises videos and did you say to do the finger one while watching those as backgrounds or just watch the video itself with no finger exercise going on? Also how many times a day and how long? I really can't read long which I miss so much, will this one help that as well? Your so helpful and kind, I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you!
@@pamdietrich9862 you can do both! They will both be beneficial. I'd suggest 2 x a day for about 30 seconds each.

There is a full vestibular exercise example program in there.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you!!!
@The Steady Coach sorry for all the questions, but day before yesterday I started to recline all the way back in the recliner as to get my brain use to it slowly. I layed back and sat up 3 times then later in the day did it again. I should of done it a 3rd time but I couldn't. I got a little vertigo later when I held my head back on couch in a tilted position looking at something towards the windows light and when I pulled my head back around it hit. Since then I feel like I went back 4 weeks in my progress. Feels like I am being pulled back when I walk again and when I turn fast or bend over it makes me dizzy. And last night I at 2 in the morning i woke to a bad headache. Sad.....but I have to have oral surgery on my tooth and I need to lay back. My question is do I keep trying the exercise of laying back 3 times 3 times a day? Will I keep getting worse? I feel the anxiety coming back too which makes symptoms worse. Thank you for your advice.

@@edwingarcia9626 I went the first time and did not get better. I wanted it to work so badly but Sergei could not identify the right way the lines should go. I am not sold on any current MdDS treatment at this point. I know too many people who had Dr. Cha's treatment and Mount Sinai's who either did not get better or did for a very brief period and then it went back to their baseline. Sure, I know others who went into remission and did nothing. Unless I see some really promising research results that work long term, I am no longer spending thousands of dollars on MdDS. It is exhausting in addition to it taking time away from my work. I need to save up as many sick days as possible so I can retire and have them banked. I certainly think people who qualify should do everything in their power to get the rocking to stop. We all want this. I am through spending the money and taking weeks out of my life for something that really needs to hit my brain multiple times per day and at home. MdDS has to be attacked from all sides in my opinion. So now i have taken it into m own hands. I really hope the researchers figure this out.
Very interesting...my doubt is that my dizziness is coming from my neck! My neck crunch over the day and i feel like the legaments and muscles are stretch...like if i have a wishplash! I Always need to move it but maybe that increase the problème.....That make me be bloked in the second step. What Can i do? Do you have some exercices to recomend?
Sometimes paying MORE attention to the symptoms like doing exercises all the time makes the brain pay MORE attention to the danger signal and increases symptoms. Of course I haven;'t examined you so I can't tell you for certain what is best for you, but in many cases, doing more exercises and thinking about it all the time makes it worse.
