    Thank you for your videos, they have given me an insight to how I can begin to heal.
    I have been dizzy for 6months. My symptoms- I feel like I’m swaying on a boat, I feel like I’m dropping into my legs for a Split second, my head feels heavy, I have fizzing prangs in my head and my tinnitus is really loud. I’ve also got terrible brain fog. It’s been scary.
    I have had times where I have felt better using neuroplasticity but I’m currently having a relapse and I’m struggling to get back on track. Watching your videos helps me focus again, i have hope, I want to have some normality. If anyone reading this has felt the way I have, please share your journey with me. It helps to know I’m not alone. Sending healing to you all out there

      Thanks for sharing Kelly. Every day you have the chance to start again, please don't give up hope. You absolutely have to keep going. Try to get out of your head and into the body, focus on your lower legs and feet. Try to recreate a new sense of balance and steadiness. Neuroplasticity will work for everyone, it can work for you too! 🙏🏼

    I’m just beginning to start neuroplasticity for my dizziness and confusion. I’m a very anxious person and I realize the deep connection it has with pppd. So addressing that and my negative and fearful thoughts is a priority in turning to a more curious and non-judgemental mind. I’m in the midst right now of acceptance and positive thoughts 💭 of how I want to feel. This is my opportunity to heal my life. Thanks for a great video!

    Thank you very much for explaining what neuroplasticity is and how it works. Today after nearly 5 months of being constant lightheaded I'm about to finally stop searching the whole internet for my symptoms and being scared about it. I WILL recover and I WILL be back to normal in no time.

    Oh my
    I just came across this video. I am relief to know there are people out there feeling the same I am feeling.
    I had an accident, suffered a concussion and lost my balance. And yes it’s been a year and finally, I had a balance test and finally the doctor was able to mention this kind of therapy. I am a professional person, but I couldn’t help my self. Some “professional TBI” persons suggested that my condition was psychological and I started to loose hope because no one could understand how dizzy I am. The only people who could possibility understand is my family but no one is in my shoes. 😢
    I thank you for explaining exactly how it is and this is how I am. Unfortunately, the insurance does not cover these kind of therapy. And to pay out of pocket it’s a bit too much.Will try your suggestions and continue to thrive.
    God bless ❤❤

    So glad I’ve found your video, just been diagnosed with PPPD after 8 months of symptoms which started after suffering dizziness as a side effect from my first covid jab.. doctors thought it was labyrinthitis but it just carried on.. I start rehabilitation and therapy next month but I’m definitely going to look into neuroplasticity as I do believe when you have a more positive attitude towards it things don’t feel as bad.. don’t get me wrong, still awful to have a condition like this but positive thinking definitely helps.

      I also had dizziness after my first covid jab in April 2021. It came on overnight with no warning. I have only just got in to see an ENT specialist, and have an MRI booked this month. The specialists so far have mentioned labrynthitis, Vestibular migraine. Only agreed it could PPPD when I suggested it. I hope the videos will help. The Steady coach on You tube is also good to watch

      You can heal from PPPD from nueroplasticity. I’m about 60-70% healed after about 8 months. Got PPPD from Covid / BPPV. Also, rock steady is an amazing book and really helps! Lots of self compassion & continue to live your life and take your dizziness (mine was really visual) as a no big deal approach!

    I have been having this for the past year. Couldn't walk or workout. Left riding my motorcycle which I loved. Feet felt like jelly. Worst part was no one understood how miserable i felt. Now after almost a year I wont say I am great but I have learnt to cope to an extent. And slowly slowly things are getting better. Previously the balance issues were 24/7. Now they are limited to some hours of the day. I have learnt to calm down which have quickened the recovery. It's difficult when people say to not focus on it when your floor is like jelly. But neuroplasticity is the only solution I have found.

      Always remember you can't die from dizziness, find and prepare safe zones and positions where you know you don't get dizzy, or the least worse, and have something ready that will distract our thoughts like a DVD you really really want to watch.

    • @balanceyourlifenow1651

      Yes due to the hormone changes, I think particularly with estrogen, this can affect dizziness symptoms so you are right to notice that around your period you may feel a slight increase in dizziness

His Podcast is called "Tell Me About Your Pain". He has very up to date research on these matters. He focuses on pain, but the same techniques apply to dizziness, as he states in the podcast.

    I seriously feel like your story is mine. Almost exactly the same. I’m going on my third year of chronic dizziness and I’m just fed up!!!!! I’m ready to change and get my life back. I’ve been to every doctor and had every scan possible and I’m sick of it! I want to heal and not be dizzy anymore!!! Did you take an SSRI for anxiety and depression? And if you did, did that help?? I’m a very anxious and type A person and I wonder if that has something to do with my symptoms.

    • @balanceyourlifenow1651
      @balanceyourlifenow1651  2 роки тому +1

      I'm sorry your in such a bad place with it. I never took any medication although I was offered it. It's a very personal decision so discuss with your Doctors and do whats right for you! People with anxiety, worriers, introverts, ocd etc can increase the chances of developing PPPD but that doesn't mean you can't get better. You don't need to change who you are as a person there are many strengths in those personality types and you should be proud of and love who you are 💫❤️ but you need to change your perception of the dizziness. You don't need to love it or be positive all the time about it but start by showing yourself self compassion and self love. Be your biggest supporter! You have to be, because no one else can get better for you, it has to come from you! Feeling hopeless, frustrated, down and depressed etc is so common and I honestly do get it, its hard to pull yourself out of a dark place but everyone has to start somewhere. Feeling negative and constantly judging/ blaming myself never helped so I had to make a change. What sort of support do you have right now? Do you know where to start to get better? You can check out my Instagram @balanceyourlifenow as well as my other UA-cam vids to help get you started 🙏🏼❤️

      @Ashley Hume - For what it’s worth, I was prescribed Alprazolam (Xanax) and I resisted until one day I was so dizzy with my ears ringing so bad, that I broke down & took less than 1/2 mg and within 20 minutes, it was like a miracle - I felt normal for the first time in 4 months - I also was getting raging migraine headaches - it was a trifecta of misery - i then was also prescribed Nortriptyline, an antidepressant, but I think that was prescribed more for migraine prevention than the dizziness - so, I continue to take as small amount of both as I can - I feel so much better, but towards the end of the day when it starts wearing off, I can tell that I don’t want to give it up yet, but hopefully, can gradually get back to completely normal without any meds - so, I feel your pain & hope you get better soon - blessings to you from sunny Central Florida ☺️ and p.s. I definitely do feel that anxiety & stress can play a part in everything

    • @balanceyourlifenow1651
      @balanceyourlifenow1651  3 роки тому

      Hi, I'm sorry your doctors are pushing you away and saying it just anxiety as I'm sure from what you're saying it could be more than that and you should be getting more support. Please try to understand that the dizziness is safe and it won't hurt you. Once I learned this I could train myself out of feeling so threatened by it. This will help to control your panic attacks to the point that in time they will disappear and the dizziness will be less aggressive. Have a look at my video how to deal with unwanted emotions. Learn to sit and feel safe with your symptoms this will retrain the brain (Neuroplasticity). Hang in there, it does get easier. Yes the beating sensations in your ear can also be related. It's like you can become oversensitive to the different sensations and noises that your body make so without realising you overfocus on them. Again, they are all safe. But please consult with your Doctors if concerned as I don't know you so can't be sure of what symptoms you are describing

      Hi there, what you are describing is common and can be healed using Neuroplasticity which is where you retrain the brain to feel your desired sensations. As a place to start I would recommend reading and learning about Neuroplasticity so you understand the principles of how it works. It is a process though and takes time, so be kind to yourself 🙏🏼

      That's absolutely not true. You have no idea what I've been through or how this experience has been for me. I had several months where I couldn't exercise at all. I had time off of hockey. I had time off of work. Movement actually made me feel better most of the time, I was at my worst when sitting still, but for some it's the opposite, so actually no two people with PPPD are the same. When you say "most people" I speak to people daily who suffer with this condition and the majority can walk or drive for longer than a few minutes, there are exceptions of course but you have to respect everyone is on their own journey. My videos are purposely positive and aimed to motivate and inspire others. How can I do that if I sit and complain about how excruciating the symptoms were for me. There is lots about my journey I haven't shared here. Many people say listening to people complain and describe their symptoms in a negative way makes them feel more dizzy! So I try not to focus on symptoms and more on recovery 😊
