    thank you for posting on PPPD...I was diagnosed with this last September and it has been a very challenging and long journey to go through. The doctors also had me on klonopin for years and after researching this drug it is one of the leading causes of vertigo symptoms...I weaned myself completely off of that pill and my PPPD and vestibular migraine's went from an 8 to a 2 within 2-3 months. I feel so much better and feel like I'm finally getting my quality of life back. I also highly recommend taking Mindfulness classes as well. They tried to put me on another pill but I refused because I wanted my body to do it's natural thing and heal itself holistically and I'm so thankful that I listened to my body. Hope this helps you and anyone else that is reading this. There is light at the end of the tunnel :) Much love!

    I’m just ready to live a dizzy free life! I love that! I am too! I was seeing a neurologist but then covid hit and he got deployed to the the mercy ship. My treatment is now on hold. Thank you for doing this video. Gives me a lot of encouragement. ❤️ how many years have you been dealing with this? Mine hit about a month after I had our son, a year now for me. Looking forward to tour future updates.

    Can you share the link for the VRT? I have cluster migraines and I have suffered for years without success from my neurologist. I gave up on them and have to figure this out for myself and get my life back. I have not been able to work at all and driving scares me bc I don't know when an attack my hit. Thank You for sharing.

    Not sure if you have allergies but after I started using nasal spray my dizzy spells have pretty much stopped. I had migraines and dizziness and spent so much money on mris & doctor visits. Discovered on my own that it might be allergy related.

    Ive been diagnosed with VM and PPPD. Right now trialing Effexor. Currently on 112.5mg. Increasing each week. What dose were you on Effexor? I tried zoloft for 4 weeks at 50mg but couldn’t tolerate the side effects

    This is really interesting - are you finding that the Zoloft is helping you with the dizzies? My neuro-otologist in the UK whos apparently one of the leading in the country said that PPPD is just uncontrolled migraines and wouldnt give me a diagnosis as he said he doesnt think it exists. Im not so sure - I am still getting some issues in visually crowded environments but am generally better outside. Cant wait to hear how the Zoloft works for you as if it is successful ill definitely look to adding it!

    For the VRT did your dizziness get WAY worse before it got better? I tried it for 2 sessions and the dizziness and pushing pulling sensation applied tremendously.
