Dear Dr yo. I don’t know you remember me or not. I was asking about trampoline walking all the time. The good news is it has gone away. I wanted to thank you. I’ve recovered about 95% after a year of having pppd . Recovery is possible and You are the only one that understands how tough this condition is. I was suicidal. But now here I am. I wish I could hug you and say thank you for making me believe that I can recover. I’m writing this in tears. if anybody reads this comment please don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t recover and just cope with it. I’ve heard it 1000 times in the groups. Don’t believe it. If you really want to recover just believe that you will recover and Don’t lose hope ❤️
Omg! I think I remember you. Are you on the pppd recovery group on fb? I am so so HAPPY that you have recovered this much. Amazing! I have been in the same place mentally and it’s a horrible place to be. You must have a new lease on life!! What do you think helped you the most? 💕
Rose!! Of course I remember you! I think I had the chance to “meet” you in one of the Q&As here on YT last year. This comment brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful that you took the time to share this with me (and the many other other people going through this). YOU did this, you should feel incredibly proud of my courage and determination it took. So happy for you, Rose.
To everyone reading this. You're going to get better. Trust the process and incorporate the practices you learn here. Progress can come slow for some. I was on this channel every day months ago, desperately searching for relief. Somatic tracking, which I learned from this channel, changed my life. I hardly think about dizziness anymore and even when it shows up, it no longer bothers me. I am actually entertained by it when it shows up.
Wowowow amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to comment! You made me smile and more importantly you will bring hope to the many people who will see your comment.
@@TheSteadyCoach I cannot thank you enough for all the content you put out there. I can't believe how little is known about neuropathic pain/dizziness in the medical community. I saw so many neurologists who just kept prescribing Botox and medication for migraines and dizziness, but you are the first doctor who actually talked about fixing the root problem and made me realize my brain wasn't "broken." You and Alan Gordon are my heroes
I like this guy. Hes very calming and makes me feel like things can get better. When i first started watching videos i was like yeah ok. But these videos are what is helping me. Not any Doctor ive seen. Thank you Dr. Yo and all of these wonderful people Giving hope to others.
Anxitey, depression, fatigue, brain fog and visual symptoms are what im struggling with daily. Glad to see someone with similarities in symptoms fully recover. Massive weight lifted off my shoulders as i have hope again. Just under a year living like this and its been hard. Time to look inside and take care of myself. Membership here i come! Thank you for this Dr Yo and brock
Brocks story is my story. Thanks for sharing! Anxiety is real. It is a long and tough road. When I realized this was Anxiety I was given Hope. I'm still in recovery and it is a slow burn! Now after a year of testing, MRI's and seeing many doctors I know what I need to focus on. It is amazing the symptoms we all have in common. But the thing that rattled me was the shaking from certain situations. All I can say is I'm on my way back. I have some good days and some not so good days. But I know this. I can do this. I will get my life back. I'm gonna do this by only watching videos. Thanks Dr Yo, you are a life saver! Getting one person back to feeling okay is great, but you help thousands!
This hit me like a truck, especially at 13:15. That head rush sinking feeling I also get when I'm trying to sleep and doctors always dismissed it like "oh I don't know what that could be". I heard that and instant tears, I felt so validated. I have that and many other symptoms from these success stories (brain fog, internal dizziness but the room isn't spinning, fatigue, that delayed feeling while driving). Thank you for sharing your story Brock and thank you Dr. Yonit for everything you're doing. You've given me my life back.
@@TheSteadyCoach Me too, I happened to come across someone mentioning your channel in a dizziness forum I was desperately searching through for answers. I don't know what I would've done had I not found your channel.
Thank you both for sharing. I have pretty much every symptom Brock talked almost to a tee. Makes me feel reassured and absolute hope this will not only get better, but be 100 percent free of symptoms. Thank you so very much for everything you do Yonit. You are a blessing.
Thank you for mentioning the feeling of the flu! This is exactly my experience every day. I hadn't heard anyone else say this. And thank you for also addressing the derealization and hopelessness, because that's all too familiar. This is a very hopeful video. I'm so happy to hear you've recovered :)
Listening to this with tears in my eyes! Thank you Dr Yo from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do and bringing hope to us who are in the thick of this!
When he said he came to the place that this is just life now and he's got to just figure out how to deal with it, I feel like I was in exactly that place until a couple weeks ago when I found your channel. Finally something makes sense after 3 years. I don't have an official diagnosis but I am pretty sure this is what my deal is. I have a neurology appointment this month and I'm going to ask him about it. In the meantime I am devouring your videos and these recovery stories are super hope bringing. So thank you so much!!
Congratulations Brock! What a great success story. It is especially difficult in our culture I feel for men to admit they need self care. You are so strong and courageous!
Literally this!! I am going through exactly this, everything you are saying Brock, I am going through or have been through in the last 12 months. It's so great to hear you've managed to recover and I am so sorry you had to go through this awful experience. Dr. Yo, I found you about 6 weeks ago and I am 75% through you're free online course and I've also bought your workbook. You are an absolute star and an amazing human being, providing all of this expert advice for free. I am beginning to feel better, still have symptoms most days (fatigue, dizziness, delays, headaches, tinnitus, brain fog, visual symptoms) but they are reducing and I am getting back to some sort of normal life again. I cannot thank you enough, you are amazing.
Thanks for sharing 🙏 I can again relate to so much of this. It took me 18 months to be symptom free, 6 months after discovering PPPD. 2 weeks ago the dizziness hit me like a hammer again and after trying to ignore it for a few days I’ve finally accepted that I’ve been doing too much and need to take care of myself again. Back to the workbook and taking some time for self care. Keep up the good work Dr Yo 🙏
Oh man, I’m so sorry this happened!! I’m so glad you’re stopping and listening to your body. It will NOT always speak to you this loudly- over time you will become friends and it will be a lot less likely to pump up symptoms this much. You are going to be ok.
Congrats Brock, great work man. I relate to so much of your story, our symptoms are a bit different but coming from mostly the same source. Thank you for sharing your story and playing a role in mine. I will be you.
Thankyou very much for sharing your story, this has given me so much more hope as I have been living with very similar symptoms for nearly 5 years now, and I am definitely off to look into getting the books and the membership to do more research and most definitely going to try looking after myself more. Please keep recording the success stories as they definitely help.
This is unbelievable! So many similarities to my situation. I'm so very grateful to Dr. Yo for putting all this out there, and thanks Brock for sharing this! Really really appreciate it!
I relate so much to this story. I am a calm person too but my body is sending me so many messages that I’m in stress. I have super tense neck muscles and struggling to relax them which makes my dizziness worse.
It’s so good you’ve noticed this- our body speaks to us in ways that are more indicative of our nervous system state than our thoughts. My suggestion is to use the body - there are lots of different options for sending messages of safety. Breathing practices are one, but there are others you can find on UA-cam- just look for vagus exercises.
New here... Symptoms started for me in June 2024. I have chronic dizziness, brain fog, upper leg fatigue and the left side of my body feels temperature differently than my right. I found this video 2 weeks ago and have been learning so much. Thank you for your story, and all the other stories on this channel. It gives so many of us that are struggling hope!
I'm only 18 minutes in and I completely relate! Got me choked up! So happy to have found your page and so thankful to Brock for sharing his story! Going to finish watching now, and after almost 8 years since a horrific fall and brain injury and whiplash, I feel some hope!! Thank you so much!!🙏🙏🙏🥰
This was a fantastic interview, thank you for sharing your story it really resonated with me. People always told me what a "calming manner" I had. I think its so true, we appear calm on the outside because we keep so much in.
Great interview. I could not agree more that to hear ‘it’s probably just anxiety’ feels so dismissive. Patients hear it’s not real, it’s all in your head etc. and when you’re feeling physical manifestations it creates resentment towards the world around you. So glad Brock has made it to what I like to call ‘the other side’.
His symptoms started out like mine...and I can so relate to all his others.. I will have to definitely watch this again..thank you Brock for doing this interview . n the visual and derealization and sensory stuff is the worst part of it..
@janice can i ask you, what do you feel when you feel visual sensations? I am most worried about the feeling that everything i see feels like my brain catch up with a bit delay...when walking or people moving etc...is this something you also experience?
@@ariannesmakman5639yes it is very much. The vision stuff is so hard to explain. Looking through a fishbowl. Thick eyes. Delay. Things are too sharp and too bright like looking in HIGH Definition. But too much. Also get blurry.. Feel like I'm very tall perception is off...it's just crazy. The more the fear and anxiety is the worse it is and hearing gets muffled and things are way to loud..feels like I'm high
Oh My , I just realized what I have, i went through all of this. 😔 I started all this in 2016. saw every Dr you could thing of. All my test came back normal. I felt I was going crazy! Thanks for you info.
The part where he touches on the depression….. so relatable! This is so so hard! Wonder how his wife and family took part in supporting him through this? What would you consider “support” from your partner in a situation like this?
Amazing question and I'm hoping to bring on a spouse of a recovering person to talk about this!! We need a whole panel to discuss this topic! It is so important- CRITICAL to recovery.
Hello Dr. YO, from Honolulu, Hawaii, I just saw a video of your interview with Brock Girard and Holy Moly , I FINALLY THINK MY SYMPTOMS ARE PPPD... it'll be too long to explain here, because I've got this dizziness/lightheaded feeling 24/7;EVERYDAY since Oct 2019..... I will be watching more of your videos, because your vids could be my cure!!! Thank You , Dr. Yo!!!
You're very welcome, Rey! I am so glad that you are finding answers. Please check out my free course if you have not already done so thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Thank you Dr Yo and thank you Brock. I have, I assume PPPD, head pressure, neck pain etc but I also describe it as like having flu all the time. Mine too came on during covid times though bc of a traumatic event during that time. Brock, you are the only person who has described that flu like fatigue which is relentless. I know all symptoms vary but hearing this helped!
This interview was very interesting. My physical therapist suggested I check out your channel. I’ve taken the free course and bought the workbook. I’ve started the course a second time, using the workbook. I’m interested in joining the community. I need to get to the root cause.
These stories make me feel like soon I will also be able to be someone to share my success 🙌 today im joining your program online im excited and can't wait
Thank you Brock, I’ve been having the same symptoms for the past year. Everything you said made me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you Sir. @dr. Yo All your video have helped me so much. The biggest was telling myself I AM safe. Now it’s time to download your program. This is a big step for me coming out of denial that I need someone other then myself to help. I’m just really glad it’s you and your Angelic ways. Thank you for being you.
Hi just listening to brocks story everything he has said I can relate too all of his symptons I myself have been suffering the last year and half you start to believe you have got to learn to live with it its hard to explain anyone what it's like for me it's like constantly having a head cold and sometimes off balance it's very stressful all round but after hearing brocks story I think I think it's all about self care so I'm going to focus on that now well done to brock x
I had a panic attack after being told I had high blood pressure. I didn't really but couldn't let go on holiday in Greece thinking what will happen if I have a heart attack. I developed this off balance feeling and had it since May. I cope well with stress as a teacher but this got me. I now know Im fine and I walk everyday but don't do too many head shakes etc (I was doing 3 hours excercises). Seeing an ENT soon but I know what it is now. Hoping it subside soon.
You are an amazing human being. I love telling teachers that they are amazing at there job but you are on another level in terms of working selflessly for others. You are just amazing!
תמי יקירתי! וואו, תודה רבה רבה, ממש לא היית צריכה לתרום כלום, זו באמת זכות לשתף את המידע הזה עם אנשים שזקוקים לו. אני כל כך מודה לך ואני תמיד משתמשת בתרומות לשלם על האירוח של אתר הקורס. מקווה שאת מרגישה הרבה יותר טוב ❤️❤️❤️
What you said about 'coping too well'...YEP...that was me....I tell people those who are anxious and fearful like I was aren't weak at all...they're too strong and refuse to acknowledge what they/their body needs. We pay for it in our body/soul/spirit but worse we pay for it b/c people judge us as weak, as losers.
This is absolutely crazy! I found your videos after watching your interview with Dan about pain and dizziness. I found him whilst watching recovery videos from Raelan on CFS/Long Covid. Here's how my story goes... I was in a very abusive relationship for 3 years. In August 2020 whilst still in the relationship, I started having very mild dizzy spells. My GP sent me to hospital for a blood test. It came back unremarkable. The mild dizzy spells lasted around 2 weeks then went away. In January 2021 I left the relationship. I was having panic attacks and felt traumatised by my experience of it. I was having mild stomach pains on and off. In April 2021 I caught a bad cold virus. After 2 weeks I was getting over it but felt unbelievably dizzy, with head pressure, fatigue, coat hanger pain and severe anxiety and panic attacks. It was absolutely terrifying. My GP told me it was a burnout, but I knew from past experience of a burn out that it wasn't that. After lots of research I diagnosed myself with PPPD and asked my GP to refer me to ENT. I started vestibular rehabilitation exercises on myself at home whilst I waited to see ENT. By the time my ENT appointment came around in August 2021, I was getting much better. They confirmed I had PPPD and told me my prognosis was good since I'd started treatment on myself so quickly. At the end of September 2021, I caught Covid and was significantly unwell for 3 weeks. I seemed to recover for a few weeks then I got hit with an avalanche of post viral symptoms. In December 2021 I was diagnosed with Long Covid. I was completely housebound for the first year with CFS type symptoms, then started to see improvements after learning about the role of the ANS and brain in chronic illness. I'm still not back to normal but better than I was. The connection between all of these conditions has blown my mind and left me in no doubt that you have hit the nail on the head with your teachings! Thank you so much ❤
Wow! Brock has described me to a “T.” I had my initial vertigo attack on September of 2021, and I have had the same symptoms as Brock. I have improved some, but I still have symptoms with me every minute. I’m beginning to implement the same practices as Brock. So, now I’m trying to change my mindset and take care of me. I really enjoyed Brock’s “x-ray” vision joke. 😂 Thanks, Brock and Dr. Yo.
I’m so excited after listening to Brock’s story it gives me such hope. Just wondering if he experienced any nausea during his journey.. I find that’s a big issue for me.
Hi , am 25 years age , Am going through light headness /Dizziness, low concentration , Fatigue and sometimes inner ear pain. I am suffering since 4 months. no able to concentrate on work. Medication helped for a while and it came back again after pushups. I feel so sad every single day , am losing confidence , I have no one in my life , I have no father ,mother.
I am sorry that you are experiencing this, Iam. You are not alone. Please consider taking my free course on healing thesteadycoach.com/free-course. There is hope!
Dear Dr Yo. I am very thankful to you that my mostly problems of balance and marshmallow walkings are recovered 100%. but my still problem is that whenever I driving on bike. my near and far focus and speed acceleration disturb me a lot. It feels like my head spinning condition but not any spine occured. during drive I bend down forward and left side stance disturbe. heartbeat speed rate high and vibration on stomach. So what did I do. before started your exercise I was not walking balance. but now all walking and turning head issues solves. I have near 1 month about excercise. and result is 100%. but my motorbike driving issue disturbe me. maybe I am working on computer screen about 8 hours. and my near view focus still and far focus disturbe. so when i driving near and far distance maybe effect on my mind eyes etc. please help
I can also totally relate to him saying he is a calm person - I thought the same. How can this be? I don't appear to be a very anxious person. But really, I was like a duck - seemingly calm on the surface but paddling like crazy under the surface.
Superhero x-ray vision 😅 I love it, that’s what I experience, it’s like everything is too vivid and bright, I can count all of the leaves on the trees one by one…I’m gonna use that phrase for sure, it made me laugh so much. 😅
I have such a similar story as Brock in regards to symptoms. This really gave me some hope! My only struggle is trying to figure out if my NCD is just that or if it has come because of perimenopause..and if it has come as an extra fun side effect of fluctuating hormones...can we still be rid of it before our hormones settle down? I guess regardless the efforts to move past it are still the same...
Started watching videos and can really relate to Brock. Have any of you in the community had a stroke and then about a week or so later after going to PT, have these symptoms start? Have had all the medical test and Dr.s keep going after the ears. I don't think it has anything to do with my ears. I am thinking about joining. Just not sure if anyone relates to this after stroke. Thank you Dr. Yo and Brock for your time.
I'm wondering if it isn't stress or the trauma that caused pppd as a result of you being overly scared after your stroke? Not a doctor but just curious. Basically from what I understand, pppd is the results of a very traumatic event such as a bad panic attack, a vestibular event like bppv or vestibular neuritis, that makes you get scared of dizziness so your body hyper focuses on it and therefore you create all of these crazy symptoms. Dr yo can give prob answer better than me since I'm not a dr lol
I think you are onto something here, Mindy! If the stroke did not affect balance centers in the brain, dizziness can be a post traumatic response that has nothing to do with tissue damage from the stroke.
@TheSteadyCoach you Have taught so many of us so much. You have no idea how much of a blessing you are to your supporters. Thank you for doing this for us. 💓❤️
Dr. Yo, do you know if Brock's fatigue and brain fog were from anxiety after he had the anxious episodes and went to the hospital? Or do you know if the fatigue and brain fog were part of his chronic dizziness symptoms? Or maybe they're one in the same? I've been dealing with some anxiety over my symptoms recently and am curious how to separate the two! Headaches and visual symptoms are pretty manageable, but the recent bout with anxiety has made life difficult and has caused other physical symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, etc.
OHHH GOOOD....My first symptom was delayed vision as well and that started the cycle of massive anxiety which lead to 24x7 lightheadedness and other visual symptoms...I can 100% relate with Brock
Hi Dr. Yo, which sleep meds did Brock take? I’ve tried some, as poor sleep is my biggest trigger, but they just added on to my already high level of dizziness. I hope to hear from you. Thanks.
I’m curious if Brock testosterone levels balanced out by themselves eventually? I went through a similar thing where the doctor told me to start taking testosterone and after I started it, I started getting dizzy, but it also corresponded with me getting Covid so I’m not sure if it was the testosterone or Covid, that was causing the dizziness. I had only taken one dose and stopped taking it there after. But I’m just wondering if Brock started it again or if he is still off of the testosterone supplementation. Thanks!
Thank you for another success story! When you asked him if vrt brought up symptoms.. with vrt I went from being bedridden to at least be functional with still symptoms daily.. I still have symptoms doing my vrt exercises, especially fatigue in my head and eyes, the symptoms I struggle the most. does it mean I should keep doing them? Thank you
Congratulations on the progress you’ve made! It is totally ok to have symptoms during VRT exercises and that does not mean you should stop doing them. Use them as a way to show your nervous system you are safe.
I was the same as you. You need the exercises to trigger your symptoms so you can expose yourself to them and teach your brain that you're safe. I'm fully better now.
@DiamondForevah It was quite a few months. I got PPPD in April 2021 after a virus and a ton of stress, started the exercises around May 2021, and by the August I was better. Unfortunately I did go on to catch Covid end of September 2021 and have had long covid since but I'm very slowly getting better 19 months in. Good luck 🙂
1 more thing as follow up on my question here before🙏 I "feel" this delay of my tired& scared brain with all i do. I feel it when moving, and doing stuff. Especially when i look, go around, it goes in trough my eyes and straight trough my brain, where it gives me pressure like all is unfiltered. It makes me feel unstable when walking, standing, etc. I wish that was all i felt. HOWEVER...i get scared because of feel my brain processing so slow and making me feel like this. I am trying to find out why i feel this like scared. To be able tolet it just be.. I think i am scared because when i move around outside, when processing is too much slow, i feel like every moment i maybe cant take it anymore. Like my brain can totally NOT process it anymore at all...like for instance, now i feel a bit off balance all the time when walking..but maybe suddenly it can be all too much when i get to tired of it, and my brain will TOTALLY not be able to process anything anymore and maybe i will not be able to go on anymore😳... maybe this sounds stupid... but this really is my fear. This thought is driving me. It makes me feel scared of what my brain is doing all the time... So...my question is... If you recognise my delay issue...the pressure and unbalance stuff i feel, the constant slow processing sensation with all i do and see because of my brain/ inside my head....how realistic is my fear of my brain totally loosing it and not be able to process anything at all anymore🙈 does this happen? or should i think, this...what i do feel now...this is it. Its UNcomfortable but not possible to totally not function anymore becailuse of the too slow brain😳 I actually am.not that tired. But just tired in my head...from being scared and worry and thinking about these stuff all the time. I would so much like to just go with my symptoms i have now...and just be sure that this is it and those worse case scenarios...wont ever happen...hope you have a last peace of advice for me here🙏🥰
What you describe (the fear of going crazy) is something I see a LOT in my clients and especially in those with very high anxiety and OCD. The sensations are very scary and they can make ANYONE question their sanity of course, but when someone is really stuck in that fear, they tend to need some help from someone who specializes in anxiety and OCD. This is NOT because the sensations are psychological- they are REAL. However the nervous system will not let go of them if there is ongoing very very high levels of anxiety and fear. You have done so much and worked so hard to get better. Like you said, it’s the fear that is keeping you stuck.
Please how do I get ur work book I have been told I have VM and would love ur help as I know I am in constant anxiety and need to heal myself and get rid of this dizzyness
Hola disculpe necesito ayuda vivo con esto hace muchos años ayudenme por favor no aguanto Mas como puedo hacer para obtener el tratamiento no hablo ingles ayuda por favor ayuda por favor
It is so hard. It’s going to make you panic whether you want to or not. The key is how you respond to the panic. Knowing how to calm your nervous system quickly is key- words of safety, breathing, talking yourself down, connecting to others.
I cant place my reaction🥺 Again a great video. Loved watching and hearing another recovery! I have a question again! But, 1 that i can find nowhere in a video here🤔maybe i missed it.. Dr Yonit, when i look up the ceiling (head totally backwards) the ceiling starts to turn almost like bppv, but, not completely. It always spins like 3/4 and than stops. When i than look down at my feet, the same! I sometimes try to do these things to see if it still feels like this, and its still there. However when i start testing these looking up and down, the first time its really bad. The second time a bit less spanning and after like 6 times, its getting less and less. I try it sometimes and every time its like this... I feel this always as scary, because i really have to hold on to something if i look up with my head back or my head to my feet...if i dont hold on, i will fall or almost fall for sure. So, the result is; i dont move completely natural...i do everything but a lot is carefully or maybe a bit more slow. And i dont look up or completely down if i can avoid it...so...this problem stays😳 Its because i dont know if these are again cristals or something (like with bppv) that i am afraid to really move my head. I dont want that spinning sensation of bppv again😅so i act carefully. But if the cause is not bppv/ cristals than, why do i feel this?! And....should i actually move my neck more or just not...i tested bppv (falling 90°c falling backwards) but than there is no spinning at all... So...than..is it my neck causing this? Or, just the neural circuit dizziness Or bppv cristalls still... And what should i do to feel better from this sensation... Should i do excersises (i dont now) or is just going on with life and just keep moving enough...and only focus on getting my mind back to relaxing instead off fear and stress and danger about all this stuff....🙏🙏🙏
When i take anti anxiety pills all these symptoms stop.. As soon as i stop medicine the symptoms return... The only thing i figured out is fight it out.. Do neck excersize.. Deep breathing.. Continue with pills if you can!
Brock speaks extensively about ER visits prior to being diagnosed for anxiety. But can symptoms of diagnosed anxiety ever be severe enough to legitimately send you to the ER? Has anyone here ever gone to the ER even though you know for sure your symptoms are anxiety driven?
Brock you never mentioned your symptoms of dizziness and how they felt. Was it rocking swaying abd bobbing.dropping feelings. Pulling and head eye pressure I too have all the visual symptoms you described abd the derealization.. Did you have sensory overload like hearing. It feels like I'm looking through a fishbowl or through plexiglass. But the sharpness and blurry too.. I've had all the tests through the years too no answer...but I do know I was under extremel stress for too many years. Taking care of elderly in laws and mother.. And stressful job. Also have suffered with anxiety since I was 9.. So I know it was a bucket overflow... Thank you for this interview.. The hopelessness is hard to deal with... I never liked merry go rounds as a kid. Lol 😇
I had the fishbowl feeling, dropping feeling, visual symptoms, light headed feeling, felt like I was walking on marshmallows, I also had the feeling like he did where he would look at something then look back and feel super dizzy. I also had tinnitis
Hello mam from last one month I am feeling off balance, feeling like I am on boat, light headed ness, feel like I am gonna fall, getting nervous due to this went to doctor they say this is due to anxiety they give me anti depresent nothing is wrong with you. One doctor told me to check vitamin b12 and vitamin d3 checked I was severely deficient jn vitamin d3 but the dizziness 24/7 feeling of falling feeling off balance while walking and climbing the stair Mam please answer my comment I am scared all people around me making fun of mine and telling rubbish to me. It even feel more when stressed and in public gathering Mam also going through some vision being not clear symptoms please reply All time feeling of low energy, getting exhaust after doing some work Please Please
I had this EXACT same thing especially the falling feeling, the weird head sensations, feeling off balance, extremely sleepy, vision issues, sensitive to hearing, I was even dizzy in my sleep. I've done everything she says to do and I'm so much better now. You will get better
I guess everyone has a bad or different because I don't think Brooke had it that bad if he was able to drive and work and go to concerts all the time with his son cuz he wouldn't give up concerts I had can't even walk through my house that's how bad I've got it
I'm sorry you feel so bad. I agree with you that everyone has different experiences with our condition. As bad as I felt for 2 years, I am thankful that I didn't have the rocking/swaying/spinning that so many have; I know that would have been more debilitating. As a parent of 3 and a husband, regardless of my symptoms, I wasn't going to allow my family to suffer along with me. When my 8-year-old came to me while I was lying in bed and said, "Daddy, I hope you feel better soon", I made the decision that I would push through and fake it until I made it. I wasn't going to put that stress on my children, too. Did I have to go wait in the car after only making it halfway through the children's museum? Yes. Did I have to let my teenage son drive us to some of those concerts (it's not that I wouldn't give up concerts; I wouldn't give up on my son). Yes. Would I have rather stayed in bed instead of getting up and going to the desk job that made my symptoms worse. You bet. But, as much as I felt like a victim, I refused to be labeled a victim. I know that these recovery videos helped me tremendously to heal and that's why I felt it was so important to do one myself. If only one person could relate to my story and it helped them move forward in their recovery, then that was a win. If my story does't resonate with your experience, I hope you find some that do and they help you. I believe you can and will heal with the knowledge that Dr. Yo is providing us all - Brock
Brock, you lovely soul. What a beautiful response. I know how devastating this was in your life and how much it took from you. I also witnessed the incredible courage and determination it took from you to make the changes you did.
In short: maybe there is a link, but it's not clear at all that it's causal. It's clear that the psychoneuroimmunological axis is real- that means psychological distress has a clear effect on our biology, including our immune system. And yes, long term immune system malfunction can lead to cancer. Unsurprisingly, there is also research indicating that childhood adversity is linked with cancer and other health issues. However, I think that the jury is still out on a "causal" link between all cancer and emotional distress. Cancer is incredibly complex and multifactorial, and I think that trauma universalism ("everything is caused by trauma") is overly simplistic. I think it's a VERY important discussion to have, but I doubt it's the entire story.
@TheSteadyCoach Thank you, that was very informative. I'm not a scientist, but just from life experience, I'd say the whole body and its experience play a role in health. I'm not a fan of picking one thing as the cause for illnesses. Like you stated, cancer is complex...most illnesses are. To treat any one facet of a patient solely is really to do that patient a disservice, imo.
Omgggg I found Megan too 😂 She helped me get better! I spoke to her on Insta and she was so helpful. I'm so glad I found her as soon as I did. I feel like she saved my life ❤
Dear Dr yo. I don’t know you remember me or not. I was asking about trampoline walking all the time. The good news is it has gone away. I wanted to thank you. I’ve recovered about 95% after a year of having pppd . Recovery is possible and You are the only one that understands how tough this condition is. I was suicidal. But now here I am. I wish I could hug you and say thank you for making me believe that I can recover. I’m writing this in tears. if anybody reads this comment please don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t recover and just cope with it. I’ve heard it 1000 times in the groups. Don’t believe it. If you really want to recover just believe that you will recover and Don’t lose hope ❤️
Omg! I think I remember you. Are you on the pppd recovery group on fb? I am so so HAPPY that you have recovered this much. Amazing! I have been in the same place mentally and it’s a horrible place to be. You must have a new lease on life!! What do you think helped you the most? 💕
Rose!! Of course I remember you! I think I had the chance to “meet” you in one of the Q&As here on YT last year. This comment brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful that you took the time to share this with me (and the many other other people going through this). YOU did this, you should feel incredibly proud of my courage and determination it took. So happy for you, Rose.
@@shandymontewhat is the Facebook group called?
Can i get your watsap no
what did you do ? did u trampoline walked ?
To everyone reading this. You're going to get better. Trust the process and incorporate the practices you learn here. Progress can come slow for some. I was on this channel every day months ago, desperately searching for relief. Somatic tracking, which I learned from this channel, changed my life. I hardly think about dizziness anymore and even when it shows up, it no longer bothers me. I am actually entertained by it when it shows up.
Thank you for that reassurance!!
Wowowow amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to comment! You made me smile and more importantly you will bring hope to the many people who will see your comment.
@@TheSteadyCoach I cannot thank you enough for all the content you put out there. I can't believe how little is known about neuropathic pain/dizziness in the medical community. I saw so many neurologists who just kept prescribing Botox and medication for migraines and dizziness, but you are the first doctor who actually talked about fixing the root problem and made me realize my brain wasn't "broken." You and Alan Gordon are my heroes
This sounds like a relief❤
What is somatic tracking ?
I like this guy. Hes very calming and makes me feel like things can get better. When i first started watching videos i was like yeah ok. But these videos are what is helping me. Not any Doctor ive seen. Thank you Dr. Yo and all of these wonderful people Giving hope to others.
Anxitey, depression, fatigue, brain fog and visual symptoms are what im struggling with daily. Glad to see someone with similarities in symptoms fully recover. Massive weight lifted off my shoulders as i have hope again. Just under a year living like this and its been hard. Time to look inside and take care of myself. Membership here i come!
Thank you for this Dr Yo and brock
You can do this!
The visual symptoms are horrible. Unbelievable how my vision fluctuates so much from bad to worse
@@J.T845me toooo 😢
Did You had any static snowy vision?
Brocks story is my story. Thanks for sharing! Anxiety is real. It is a long and tough road. When I realized this was Anxiety I was given Hope. I'm still in recovery and it is a slow burn! Now after a year of testing, MRI's and seeing many doctors I know what I need to focus on. It is amazing the symptoms we all have in common. But the thing that rattled me was the shaking from certain situations. All I can say is I'm on my way back. I have some good days and some not so good days. But I know this. I can do this. I will get my life back. I'm gonna do this by only watching videos. Thanks Dr Yo, you are a life saver! Getting one person back to feeling okay is great, but you help thousands!
This hit me like a truck, especially at 13:15. That head rush sinking feeling I also get when I'm trying to sleep and doctors always dismissed it like "oh I don't know what that could be". I heard that and instant tears, I felt so validated. I have that and many other symptoms from these success stories (brain fog, internal dizziness but the room isn't spinning, fatigue, that delayed feeling while driving). Thank you for sharing your story Brock and thank you Dr. Yonit for everything you're doing. You've given me my life back.
I am so glad that you found these stories ❤
@@TheSteadyCoach Me too, I happened to come across someone mentioning your channel in a dizziness forum I was desperately searching through for answers. I don't know what I would've done had I not found your channel.
Thank you both! I have struggled for over10 years. Seen Dr after Dr. No help. I plan to follow Dr Yo !! I am 82 and not given up. ❤️❤️🤗🤗
You are not alone, Carol! Check out my free course if you haven't already thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Thank you both for sharing. I have pretty much every symptom Brock talked almost to a tee. Makes me feel reassured and absolute hope this will not only get better, but be 100 percent free of symptoms.
Thank you so very much for everything you do Yonit. You are a blessing.
Thank you for mentioning the feeling of the flu! This is exactly my experience every day. I hadn't heard anyone else say this. And thank you for also addressing the derealization and hopelessness, because that's all too familiar. This is a very hopeful video. I'm so happy to hear you've recovered :)
Ahhh someone sent me this video as they heard me being mentioned- so awesome to hear people relating to my story and feeling reassured ❤❤
Thank YOU! You were the first person to "get me" :)
Listening to this with tears in my eyes! Thank you Dr Yo from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do and bringing hope to us who are in the thick of this!
Dr Yo it's amazing we all are so similar
We suffered so long in shame then you came along🎉
You're very welcome, Terri ❤ It is truly my privilege!
When he said he came to the place that this is just life now and he's got to just figure out how to deal with it, I feel like I was in exactly that place until a couple weeks ago when I found your channel. Finally something makes sense after 3 years. I don't have an official diagnosis but I am pretty sure this is what my deal is. I have a neurology appointment this month and I'm going to ask him about it. In the meantime I am devouring your videos and these recovery stories are super hope bringing. So thank you so much!!
I am so glad that you found us!
Congratulations Brock! What a great success story. It is especially difficult in our culture I feel for men to admit they need self care. You are so strong and courageous!
Women are told it’s always anxiety so we’re all screwed
Literally this!! I am going through exactly this, everything you are saying Brock, I am going through or have been through in the last 12 months. It's so great to hear you've managed to recover and I am so sorry you had to go through this awful experience. Dr. Yo, I found you about 6 weeks ago and I am 75% through you're free online course and I've also bought your workbook. You are an absolute star and an amazing human being, providing all of this expert advice for free. I am beginning to feel better, still have symptoms most days (fatigue, dizziness, delays, headaches, tinnitus, brain fog, visual symptoms) but they are reducing and I am getting back to some sort of normal life again. I cannot thank you enough, you are amazing.
Oh Stephen, this is SO FANTASTIC to hear, I'm so proud of your progress! Hang in there, you are obviously on the right track!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 I can again relate to so much of this. It took me 18 months to be symptom free, 6 months after discovering PPPD. 2 weeks ago the dizziness hit me like a hammer again and after trying to ignore it for a few days I’ve finally accepted that I’ve been doing too much and need to take care of myself again. Back to the workbook and taking some time for self care. Keep up the good work Dr Yo 🙏
Oh man, I’m so sorry this happened!! I’m so glad you’re stopping and listening to your body. It will NOT always speak to you this loudly- over time you will become friends and it will be a lot less likely to pump up symptoms this much. You are going to be ok.
Congrats Brock, great work man. I relate to so much of your story, our symptoms are a bit different but coming from mostly the same source. Thank you for sharing your story and playing a role in mine. I will be you.
Thankyou very much for sharing your story, this has given me so much more hope as I have been living with very similar symptoms for nearly 5 years now, and I am definitely off to look into getting the books and the membership to do more research and most definitely going to try looking after myself more.
Please keep recording the success stories as they definitely help.
You're very welcome, Claire! There is hope!
This is unbelievable! So many similarities to my situation. I'm so very grateful to Dr. Yo for putting all this out there, and thanks Brock for sharing this! Really really appreciate it!
I relate so much to this story. I am a calm person too but my body is sending me so many messages that I’m in stress. I have super tense neck muscles and struggling to relax them which makes my dizziness worse.
It’s so good you’ve noticed this- our body speaks to us in ways that are more indicative of our nervous system state than our thoughts. My suggestion is to use the body - there are lots of different options for sending messages of safety. Breathing practices are one, but there are others you can find on UA-cam- just look for vagus exercises.
So glad I found this video. Started this crappy journey 3 months ago. Been to the dr’s and waiting to see more.
Thank you so much for this. It gives me hope that Things will get better and better and I will be healed. ❤
Yes! There is hope!
New here... Symptoms started for me in June 2024. I have chronic dizziness, brain fog, upper leg fatigue and the left side of my body feels temperature differently than my right. I found this video 2 weeks ago and have been learning so much. Thank you for your story, and all the other stories on this channel. It gives so many of us that are struggling hope!
I'm only 18 minutes in and I completely relate! Got me choked up! So happy to have found your page and so thankful to Brock for sharing his story! Going to finish watching now, and after almost 8 years since a horrific fall and brain injury and whiplash, I feel some hope!! Thank you so much!!🙏🙏🙏🥰
This story hits home same symptoms including taking testerone and donating blood. It's easy for doctors to just dismiss you. Glad I found this channel
Amazing! Thanks for everything Dr. and Brock, Manuel here again. I’m putting the work. Will get better. I’m learning so much with these interviews.
This was a fantastic interview, thank you for sharing your story it really resonated with me. People always told me what a "calming manner" I had. I think its so true, we appear calm on the outside because we keep so much in.
Great interview and success story .
Well done Brock and your recovery
Congratulations Brock so awesome!! So happy for you!
Beautiful interview thank you for sharing Brock, gives me much hope 🙂🌹
Great interview. I could not agree more that to hear ‘it’s probably just anxiety’ feels so dismissive. Patients hear it’s not real, it’s all in your head etc. and when you’re feeling physical manifestations it creates resentment towards the world around you. So glad Brock has made it to what I like to call ‘the other side’.
Yes, exactly!
Symptoms are still 24/7 but the mindset towards them has definitely changed with the help of your channel. Thank you!
Keep going! You can do this!
Did you recover completely now?
Thank you Brock for sharing your story. I can relate to you most of all. Almost the exact same symptoms and onset scenario.
His symptoms started out like mine...and I can so relate to all his others.. I will have to definitely watch this again..thank you Brock for doing this interview . n the visual and derealization and sensory stuff is the worst part of it..
@janice can i ask you, what do you feel when you feel visual sensations? I am most worried about the feeling that everything i see feels like my brain catch up with a bit delay...when walking or people moving etc...is this something you also experience?
@@ariannesmakman5639yes it is very much. The vision stuff is so hard to explain. Looking through a fishbowl. Thick eyes. Delay. Things are too sharp and too bright like looking in HIGH Definition. But too much. Also get blurry.. Feel like I'm very tall perception is off...it's just crazy. The more the fear and anxiety is the worse it is and hearing gets muffled and things are way to loud..feels like I'm high
Oh My , I just realized what I have, i went through all of this. 😔 I started all this in 2016. saw every Dr you could thing of. All my test came back normal. I felt I was going crazy! Thanks for you info.
You are not alone, Lupita! So many people have gone through this as well.
The part where he touches on the depression….. so relatable! This is so so hard! Wonder how his wife and family took part in supporting him through this?
What would you consider “support” from your partner in a situation like this?
Amazing question and I'm hoping to bring on a spouse of a recovering person to talk about this!! We need a whole panel to discuss this topic! It is so important- CRITICAL to recovery.
I cry every single day
Hello Dr. YO, from Honolulu, Hawaii, I just saw a video of your interview with Brock Girard and Holy Moly , I FINALLY THINK MY SYMPTOMS ARE PPPD... it'll be too long to explain here, because I've got this dizziness/lightheaded feeling 24/7;EVERYDAY since Oct 2019..... I will be watching more of your videos, because your vids could be my cure!!! Thank You , Dr. Yo!!!
You're very welcome, Rey! I am so glad that you are finding answers. Please check out my free course if you have not already done so thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Thank You Dr. Yo, I'll check it out!!!
Thank you Dr Yo and thank you Brock. I have, I assume PPPD, head pressure, neck pain etc but I also describe it as like having flu all the time. Mine too came on during covid times though bc of a traumatic event during that time. Brock, you are the only person who has described that flu like fatigue which is relentless. I know all symptoms vary but hearing this helped!
I am so glad this resonated with you, Fiona!
This interview was very interesting. My physical therapist suggested I check out your channel. I’ve taken the free course and bought the workbook. I’ve started the course a second time, using the workbook. I’m interested in joining the community. I need to get to the root cause.
Fantastic! It sounds like you are on the right track!
Thank you very very much ❤
Happy to your Brock, I'm having same issues for 5 months now. You give hope. And you too Dr.Yo Just discover your channel days ago.🙏
Absolutely Inspirational to hear thank you thank thank you to you both a lighthouse in the darkness ❤💡
These stories make me feel like soon I will also be able to be someone to share my success 🙌 today im joining your program online im excited and can't wait
I can't wait to hear your success story one day!
Great treat for the 4th.
It is always wonderful to hear the success stories. It keeps me from giving up....thank you for this channel.
You're very welcome, Christopher! You are not alone!
Thank you Brock, I’ve been having the same symptoms for the past year. Everything you said made me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you Sir.
@dr. Yo All your video have helped me so much. The biggest was telling myself I AM safe. Now it’s time to download your program. This is a big step for me coming out of denial that I need someone other then myself to help. I’m just really glad it’s you and your Angelic ways. Thank you for being you.
Thank you for these kind words, Caroline! I am so glad that you found us!
Hi just listening to brocks story everything he has said I can relate too all of his symptons I myself have been suffering the last year and half you start to believe you have got to learn to live with it its hard to explain anyone what it's like for me it's like constantly having a head cold and sometimes off balance it's very stressful all round but after hearing brocks story I think I think it's all about self care so I'm going to focus on that now well done to brock x
There is hope, Mandy!
I had a panic attack after being told I had high blood pressure. I didn't really but couldn't let go on holiday in Greece thinking what will happen if I have a heart attack. I developed this off balance feeling and had it since May. I cope well with stress as a teacher but this got me. I now know Im fine and I walk everyday but don't do too many head shakes etc (I was doing 3 hours excercises). Seeing an ENT soon but I know what it is now. Hoping it subside soon.
You are an amazing human being. I love telling teachers that they are amazing at there job but you are on another level in terms of working selflessly for others. You are just amazing!
brock is real deal man :) awesome talk
I love these stories
תודה!

I‘m in this for 2,5 years now- exactly like His story…. Hope i‘ll get out of this… thank you - it began with cristals in my ears on 31.12.2020
There is hope, Nadine!
What you said about 'coping too well'...YEP...that was me....I tell people those who are anxious and fearful like I was aren't weak at all...they're too strong and refuse to acknowledge what they/their body needs. We pay for it in our body/soul/spirit but worse we pay for it b/c people judge us as weak, as losers.
🙏🙏🙏 hyper responsible, incredibly competent people are the ones who tend to get this
This is absolutely crazy! I found your videos after watching your interview with Dan about pain and dizziness. I found him whilst watching recovery videos from Raelan on CFS/Long Covid.
Here's how my story goes...
I was in a very abusive relationship for 3 years. In August 2020 whilst still in the relationship, I started having very mild dizzy spells. My GP sent me to hospital for a blood test. It came back unremarkable. The mild dizzy spells lasted around 2 weeks then went away.
In January 2021 I left the relationship. I was having panic attacks and felt traumatised by my experience of it. I was having mild stomach pains on and off. In April 2021 I caught a bad cold virus. After 2 weeks I was getting over it but felt unbelievably dizzy, with head pressure, fatigue, coat hanger pain and severe anxiety and panic attacks. It was absolutely terrifying.
My GP told me it was a burnout, but I knew from past experience of a burn out that it wasn't that.
After lots of research I diagnosed myself with PPPD and asked my GP to refer me to ENT. I started vestibular rehabilitation exercises on myself at home whilst I waited to see ENT. By the time my ENT appointment came around in August 2021, I was getting much better. They confirmed I had PPPD and told me my prognosis was good since I'd started treatment on myself so quickly.
At the end of September 2021, I caught Covid and was significantly unwell for 3 weeks. I seemed to recover for a few weeks then I got hit with an avalanche of post viral symptoms. In December 2021 I was diagnosed with Long Covid. I was completely housebound for the first year with CFS type symptoms, then started to see improvements after learning about the role of the ANS and brain in chronic illness. I'm still not back to normal but better than I was. The connection between all of these conditions has blown my mind and left me in no doubt that you have hit the nail on the head with your teachings! Thank you so much ❤
I am sorry that you went through all of this, Clair! I am so glad that we all are helping connect the dots for you! ❤
Wow! Brock has described me to a “T.” I had my initial vertigo attack on September of 2021, and I have had the same symptoms as Brock. I have improved some, but I still have symptoms with me every minute. I’m beginning to implement the same practices as Brock. So, now I’m trying to change my mindset and take care of me.
I really enjoyed Brock’s “x-ray” vision joke. 😂 Thanks, Brock and Dr. Yo.
Hang in there! You'll keep moving forward. Brock is awesome.
I’m so excited after listening to Brock’s story it gives me such hope. Just wondering if he experienced any nausea during his journey.. I find that’s a big issue for me.
I’m not sure that was a major issue for Brock but many people have told me that it is for them. So sorry, nausea is miserable.
This story sounds like me gives me hope
There is hope!
Hi , am 25 years age , Am going through light headness /Dizziness, low concentration , Fatigue and sometimes inner ear pain. I am suffering since 4 months. no able to concentrate on work. Medication helped for a while and it came back again after pushups. I feel so sad every single day , am losing confidence , I have no one in my life , I have no father ,mother.
I am sorry that you are experiencing this, Iam. You are not alone. Please consider taking my free course on healing thesteadycoach.com/free-course. There is hope!
Hope you are improved. I am experiencing stuff too.
Wish this finds better.
Dear Dr Yo. I am very thankful to you that my mostly problems of balance and marshmallow walkings are recovered 100%. but my still problem is that whenever I driving on bike. my near and far focus and speed acceleration disturb me a lot. It feels like my head spinning condition but not any spine occured. during drive I bend down forward and left side stance disturbe. heartbeat speed rate high and vibration on stomach. So what did I do. before started your exercise I was not walking balance. but now all walking and turning head issues solves. I have near 1 month about excercise. and result is 100%. but my motorbike driving issue disturbe me. maybe I am working on computer screen about 8 hours. and my near view focus still and far focus disturbe. so when i driving near and far distance maybe effect on my mind eyes etc. please help
That’s how my legs feel they didn’t in the beginning but now they do. I try to workout and they become extremely fatigued and tight.
I can also totally relate to him saying he is a calm person - I thought the same. How can this be? I don't appear to be a very anxious person. But really, I was like a duck - seemingly calm on the surface but paddling like crazy under the surface.
Exactly, Moreen!
Superhero x-ray vision 😅 I love it, that’s what I experience, it’s like everything is too vivid and bright, I can count all of the leaves on the trees one by one…I’m gonna use that phrase for sure, it made me laugh so much. 😅
Me too that's exactly how it feels
I have such a similar story as Brock in regards to symptoms. This really gave me some hope! My only struggle is trying to figure out if my NCD is just that or if it has come because of perimenopause..and if it has come as an extra fun side effect of fluctuating hormones...can we still be rid of it before our hormones settle down? I guess regardless the efforts to move past it are still the same...
Started watching videos and can really relate to Brock.
Have any of you in the community had a stroke and then about a week or so later after going to PT, have these symptoms start?
Have had all the medical test and Dr.s keep going after the ears. I don't think it has anything to do with my ears.
I am thinking about joining. Just not sure if anyone relates to this after stroke.
Thank you Dr. Yo and Brock for your time.
I'm wondering if it isn't stress or the trauma that caused pppd as a result of you being overly scared after your stroke? Not a doctor but just curious. Basically from what I understand, pppd is the results of a very traumatic event such as a bad panic attack, a vestibular event like bppv or vestibular neuritis, that makes you get scared of dizziness so your body hyper focuses on it and therefore you create all of these crazy symptoms.
Dr yo can give prob answer better than me since I'm not a dr lol
I think you are onto something here, Mindy! If the stroke did not affect balance centers in the brain, dizziness can be a post traumatic response that has nothing to do with tissue damage from the stroke.
@TheSteadyCoach you Have taught so many of us so much. You have no idea how much of a blessing you are to your supporters. Thank you for doing this for us. 💓❤️
Thanks
Dr. Yo, do you know if Brock's fatigue and brain fog were from anxiety after he had the anxious episodes and went to the hospital? Or do you know if the fatigue and brain fog were part of his chronic dizziness symptoms? Or maybe they're one in the same? I've been dealing with some anxiety over my symptoms recently and am curious how to separate the two! Headaches and visual symptoms are pretty manageable, but the recent bout with anxiety has made life difficult and has caused other physical symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, etc.
OHHH GOOOD....My first symptom was delayed vision as well and that started the cycle of massive anxiety which lead to 24x7 lightheadedness and other visual symptoms...I can 100% relate with Brock
I am sorry you are going through this, but I am glad that this interview resonated with you.
Hi Dr. Yo, which sleep meds did Brock take? I’ve tried some, as poor sleep is my biggest trigger, but they just added on to my already high level of dizziness. I hope to hear from you. Thanks.
Jeanne, Brock says he had hydroxyzine and at one point a small dose of Ativan for sleep.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you!
I’m curious if Brock testosterone levels balanced out by themselves eventually? I went through a similar thing where the doctor told me to start taking testosterone and after I started it, I started getting dizzy, but it also corresponded with me getting Covid so I’m not sure if it was the testosterone or Covid, that was causing the dizziness. I had only taken one dose and stopped taking it there after. But I’m just wondering if Brock started it again or if he is still off of the testosterone supplementation. Thanks!
Hi Dr. Yo! Curious on if you think the fluctuating barometric pressure, especially when it’s lower, can affect PPPD?
Ask Dr. Yo: why do biological and environmental triggers bring on or worsen my dizziness symptoms? ua-cam.com/video/StYWlDFkFjM/v-deo.html
It effects mine!
Thank you for another success story! When you asked him if vrt brought up symptoms.. with vrt I went from being bedridden to at least be functional with still symptoms daily.. I still have symptoms doing my vrt exercises, especially fatigue in my head and eyes, the symptoms I struggle the most. does it mean I should keep doing them? Thank you
Congratulations on the progress you’ve made! It is totally ok to have symptoms during VRT exercises and that does not mean you should stop doing them. Use them as a way to show your nervous system you are safe.
I was the same as you. You need the exercises to trigger your symptoms so you can expose yourself to them and teach your brain that you're safe. I'm fully better now.
@@clairchetwood9777 Thats good to know! How long did you do VRT?
@@TheSteadyCoach So I’ll keep doing them!
@DiamondForevah It was quite a few months. I got PPPD in April 2021 after a virus and a ton of stress, started the exercises around May 2021, and by the August I was better. Unfortunately I did go on to catch Covid end of September 2021 and have had long covid since but I'm very slowly getting better 19 months in. Good luck 🙂
I hope that I will be a success story soon!!!!
I can't wait to hear yours, Dorothy!
1 more thing as follow up on my question here before🙏
I "feel" this delay of my tired& scared brain with all i do. I feel it when moving, and doing stuff. Especially when i look, go around, it goes in trough my eyes and straight trough my brain, where it gives me pressure like all is unfiltered. It makes me feel unstable when walking, standing, etc. I wish that was all i felt. HOWEVER...i get scared because of feel my brain processing so slow and making me feel like this. I am trying to find out why i feel this like scared. To be able tolet it just be..
I think i am scared because when i move around outside, when processing is too much slow, i feel like every moment i maybe cant take it anymore. Like my brain can totally NOT process it anymore at all...like for instance, now i feel a bit off balance all the time when walking..but maybe suddenly it can be all too much when i get to tired of it, and my brain will TOTALLY not be able to process anything anymore and maybe i will not be able to go on anymore😳...
maybe this sounds stupid... but this really is my fear. This thought is driving me. It makes me feel scared of what my brain is doing all the time...
So...my question is...
If you recognise my delay issue...the pressure and unbalance stuff i feel, the constant slow processing sensation with all i do and see because of my brain/ inside my head....how realistic is my fear of my brain totally loosing it and not be able to process anything at all anymore🙈 does this happen? or should i think, this...what i do feel now...this is it. Its UNcomfortable but not possible to totally not function anymore becailuse of the too slow brain😳
I actually am.not that tired. But just tired in my head...from being scared and worry and thinking about these stuff all the time.
I would so much like to just go with my symptoms i have now...and just be sure that this is it and those worse case scenarios...wont ever happen...hope you have a last peace of advice for me here🙏🥰
What you describe (the fear of going crazy) is something I see a LOT in my clients and especially in those with very high anxiety and OCD. The sensations are very scary and they can make ANYONE question their sanity of course, but when someone is really stuck in that fear, they tend to need some help from someone who specializes in anxiety and OCD. This is NOT because the sensations are psychological- they are REAL. However the nervous system will not let go of them if there is ongoing very very high levels of anxiety and fear. You have done so much and worked so hard to get better. Like you said, it’s the fear that is keeping you stuck.
Hope you are better?

A question for brock
How did you cope and what did you do to help with the dropping sensation
I have it many times aday and it is horrid
Thank you
I'm familiar with that sensation, but since I've been dealing with PPPD, it was not one of my reoccurring symptoms.
Is there a link between positionnal vertigo and neural circuit dizz ?
Definitely, people with NCD are more likely to develop BPPV and some people develop NCD from BPPV.
I'm stuck in the freak out mode when my symptoms are high. How do I get out if this loop?
How do you manage the head rushes without panicking
It is so hard. It’s going to make you panic whether you want to or not. The key is how you respond to the panic. Knowing how to calm your nervous system quickly is key- words of safety, breathing, talking yourself down, connecting to others.
Question for Brock: was the dizziness going away gradual or you just woke up one day and weren't dizzy anymore?
I cant place my reaction🥺
Again a great video. Loved watching and hearing another recovery!
I have a question again! But, 1 that i can find nowhere in a video here🤔maybe i missed it..
Dr Yonit, when i look up the ceiling (head totally backwards) the ceiling starts to turn almost like bppv, but, not completely. It always spins like 3/4 and than stops. When i than look down at my feet, the same! I sometimes try to do these things to see if it still feels like this, and its still there. However when i start testing these looking up and down, the first time its really bad. The second time a bit less spanning and after like 6 times, its getting less and less. I try it sometimes and every time its like this...
I feel this always as scary, because i really have to hold on to something if i look up with my head back or my head to my feet...if i dont hold on, i will fall or almost fall for sure. So, the result is; i dont move completely natural...i do everything but a lot is carefully or maybe a bit more slow. And i dont look up or completely down if i can avoid it...so...this problem stays😳
Its because i dont know if these are again cristals or something (like with bppv) that i am afraid to really move my head. I dont want that spinning sensation of bppv again😅so i act carefully. But if the cause is not bppv/ cristals than, why do i feel this?! And....should i actually move my neck more or just not...i tested bppv (falling 90°c falling backwards) but than there is no spinning at all...
So...than..is it my neck causing this?
Or, just the neural circuit dizziness
Or bppv cristalls still...
And what should i do to feel better from this sensation...
Should i do excersises (i dont now) or is just going on with life and just keep moving enough...and only focus on getting my mind back to relaxing instead off fear and stress and danger about all this stuff....🙏🙏🙏
Generally speaking- the best advice is to get out of “fix it” mode and back into living your life mode.
Crazy no one doctor mentioned migraine...
He was diagnosed with vestibular migraine.
When i take anti anxiety pills all these symptoms stop.. As soon as i stop medicine the symptoms return... The only thing i figured out is fight it out.. Do neck excersize.. Deep breathing.. Continue with pills if you can!
A lot of these symptoms sound like BVD as well.
BVD is often a normal abnormality. A large number of people have it and are asymptomatic. It does not usually explain symptoms like these.
Brock speaks extensively about ER visits prior to being diagnosed for anxiety. But can symptoms of diagnosed anxiety ever be severe enough to legitimately send you to the ER? Has anyone here ever gone to the ER even though you know for sure your symptoms are anxiety driven?
Absolutely.
Brock you never mentioned your symptoms of dizziness and how they felt. Was it rocking swaying abd bobbing.dropping feelings. Pulling and head eye pressure I too have all the visual symptoms you described abd the derealization.. Did you have sensory overload like hearing. It feels like I'm looking through a fishbowl or through plexiglass. But the sharpness and blurry too.. I've had all the tests through the years too no answer...but I do know I was under extremel stress for too many years. Taking care of elderly in laws and mother.. And stressful job. Also have suffered with anxiety since I was 9.. So I know it was a bucket overflow... Thank you for this interview.. The hopelessness is hard to deal with... I never liked merry go rounds as a kid. Lol 😇
Mostly visual, fatigue, lightheadedness, feeling like he had the flu
I had the fishbowl feeling, dropping feeling, visual symptoms, light headed feeling, felt like I was walking on marshmallows, I also had the feeling like he did where he would look at something then look back and feel super dizzy. I also had tinnitis
Oh and u also had the hearing sensitivity. I felt like my Brain would vibrate with noises and it would make me dizzy
@@MindyParkeryes Mindy! How are you doing now?
@@janiceince1965 I would say about 100% better
Hello mam from last one month I am feeling off balance, feeling like I am on boat, light headed ness, feel like I am gonna fall, getting nervous due to this went to doctor they say this is due to anxiety they give me anti depresent nothing is wrong with you. One doctor told me to check vitamin b12 and vitamin d3 checked I was severely deficient jn vitamin d3 but the dizziness 24/7 feeling of falling feeling off balance while walking and climbing the stair
Mam please answer my comment I am scared all people around me making fun of mine and telling rubbish to me. It even feel more when stressed and in public gathering
Mam also going through some vision being not clear symptoms please reply
All time feeling of low energy, getting exhaust after doing some work
Please Please
Do you feel the floor is bouncing high and low under your feet? How imbalanced are you? Have you fallen?
@@sherriquest414 no I have not fallen but imbalance problem is there while sitting and standing it feels like I am shaking it makes me anxious
Be very careful cuz I did fall and I had a tree limb go through my leg I'm disgusted with everything I can't stand this any longer
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I had this EXACT same thing especially the falling feeling, the weird head sensations, feeling off balance, extremely sleepy, vision issues, sensitive to hearing, I was even dizzy in my sleep. I've done everything she says to do and I'm so much better now. You will get better
I guess everyone has a bad or different because I don't think Brooke had it that bad if he was able to drive and work and go to concerts all the time with his son cuz he wouldn't give up concerts I had can't even walk through my house that's how bad I've got it
I'm sorry you feel so bad. I agree with you that everyone has different experiences with our condition. As bad as I felt for 2 years, I am thankful that I didn't have the rocking/swaying/spinning that so many have; I know that would have been more debilitating. As a parent of 3 and a husband, regardless of my symptoms, I wasn't going to allow my family to suffer along with me. When my 8-year-old came to me while I was lying in bed and said, "Daddy, I hope you feel better soon", I made the decision that I would push through and fake it until I made it. I wasn't going to put that stress on my children, too. Did I have to go wait in the car after only making it halfway through the children's museum? Yes. Did I have to let my teenage son drive us to some of those concerts (it's not that I wouldn't give up concerts; I wouldn't give up on my son). Yes. Would I have rather stayed in bed instead of getting up and going to the desk job that made my symptoms worse. You bet. But, as much as I felt like a victim, I refused to be labeled a victim. I know that these recovery videos helped me tremendously to heal and that's why I felt it was so important to do one myself. If only one person could relate to my story and it helped them move forward in their recovery, then that was a win. If my story does't resonate with your experience, I hope you find some that do and they help you. I believe you can and will heal with the knowledge that Dr. Yo is providing us all - Brock
Brock, you lovely soul. What a beautiful response. I know how devastating this was in your life and how much it took from you. I also witnessed the incredible courage and determination it took from you to make the changes you did.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you 😊
Welcome to my word. Learn to live with it.
It is such an awful thing to be told 😔
Do you believe cancer can be caused by emotional trauma?
In short: maybe there is a link, but it's not clear at all that it's causal. It's clear that the psychoneuroimmunological axis is real- that means psychological distress has a clear effect on our biology, including our immune system. And yes, long term immune system malfunction can lead to cancer. Unsurprisingly, there is also research indicating that childhood adversity is linked with cancer and other health issues. However, I think that the jury is still out on a "causal" link between all cancer and emotional distress. Cancer is incredibly complex and multifactorial, and I think that trauma universalism ("everything is caused by trauma") is overly simplistic. I think it's a VERY important discussion to have, but I doubt it's the entire story.
@TheSteadyCoach
Thank you, that was very informative.
I'm not a scientist, but just from life experience, I'd say the whole body and its experience play a role in health.
I'm not a fan of picking one thing as the cause for illnesses. Like you stated, cancer is complex...most illnesses are. To treat any one facet of a patient solely is really to do that patient a disservice, imo.
Omgggg I found Megan too 😂 She helped me get better! I spoke to her on Insta and she was so helpful. I'm so glad I found her as soon as I did. I feel like she saved my life ❤
Thank you so much for this. It gives me hope that Things will get better and better and I will be healed. ❤
