Anybody that comes across Dr. Yonit consider yourself lucky. The very first day I saw her videos I got out the bed very dizzy and I started to clean. Yes holding on to the walls. I could not go to the store, drive, or do anything. Now, that I have gone back to school, I am driving again, taking my kids to activities, and having a better quality of life. I am not 💯 percent cured, however, I am the best I have ever been after everything started. This doctor has changed my life. Thank you 🙏 doctor. I hope you read this. You are making a difference keep going. I know that many people need this. P.s going to the stores and looking up and down helped me tremendously, at first you think you are going to pass out but after some time you will be able to go to the store by yourself.
Love this what did you do x
Hi what did you do to get better x
Ok what if from the beginning I never stopped doing everything I did before this started and yet there's no progress
How did it takes for you to be at your condition right now? And how are you now? I feel better 85-95%. In one day, sometimes i feel ok, but sometimes 3 hours/ day i feel my head light and pressure
Thanks for sharing I needed to hear that it is possible to get back to my activities
These videos are sooo helpful! Not even my neurologist or ENT Dr bothered to explain any of this or give me any hope of healing! Just said it's either "due to anxiety" or "we may never know whats causing it, just learn to live with it" even though irs debilitating! I have been working with a therapist on anxiety for awhile, just added vestibular physical therapy although I can't do it, so you are basically the only person that can help me heal? Just by explaining this all so well! 💖
Ugh, this is in line with so many other people's experiences. I'm sorry you had to come to UA-cam for answers. My job is to explain things, your job is to put them into practice. You're the one who has the hard job, but I know you can do this!
Same experience with the doctors! You can do this!!! 😍
@@jessicaamber6623 thanks! I'm trying and now that I understand what's going on I'm more confident in that 💖
I think this condition steals our sense of agency and that’s the scariest thing of all. I remind my self that despite the s/s I can Go On and that’s the most important thing for me to remember. The strength to Go On is still there!
YES!!! Agency is HUGE, that's why I have this channel. Understanding is huge part of gaining empowerment and feeling like there's something that can be done.
We may not be able to change our environmental factors, so we need to change how we deal with it. Thanks Dr Yo❤
Hi Mam , I m from India.... I have no words to explain how your videos really helpful what I m going through since last 6 months.....no doctor understand my situation😭 they just said it's ur anxiety and gave me ssris which doesn't work for me as much ...., even my parents are also depressed about my health 😭😞..... I recently found ur UA-cam channel, to be honest I started crying while watching ur videos that there is somebody in universe who understand my situation❤ plzzz don't stop making such content on your channel .....thank you so much for awaring people about this situation......🙏
Hey friend you are not alone in this even I am facing this pppd from last 4 months …. I am struggling too but don’t loose hope we ll be fine
@@AaishaSingh-oc6xz me too. And we will get better and leave this behind.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours Dr. Yo. The explanations are so clear and I love how you take us through the steps. It can be very difficult to focus when experiencing symptoms and anxiety and I really appreciate your clarity. Thank you!
A dizzy Mexican here listening to another excelent video.
I have been dizzy for 15 years now and no one had told me why, Now I have the answer thanks you so much for all your help Dr Yonit, you geve me hope .
15 years been dizzy? Are you able to work or function at your daily life? I have been dizzy since 3.5 months ago, i found dr Yonit only 1.5 month ago. I feel 85-95% better now. I did somatic tracking and counselling. Sleep enough
I am so glad that you have found my channel!
I love every aspect of this content + get it. I practice noticing that there’s ALWAYS a story with the thought, feeling/emotion, behaviour so i roll it back + remind myself to feel + allow only the “whatever” with NO STORY. The stuck energy moves faster so it’s with this evidence that we learn that if we allow it all + not attach or grab the story we can have some space which leads to trust. If i could add a 5th factor after the 4th of how would l prefer to respond …..it is “what would it feel like” if i didn’t have whatever it is. Sitting with this for even a moment takes the possibilities to a new level. Ty as always Dr Yonit.
Thank you for your wonderful videos and thank you for not charging us 💰 to watch them they help me so much
My privilege!! I am so glad this helps!
This video was so very helpful as I took a ton of notes and made list of stressors while stopping and re-watching. This video in particular was so great that it goes hand in hand with the self recovery course at your website. I'm nearing my 3rd year with PPPD and after countless discouragements and specialists without answers, you're the only doctor who's ever given me sense of hope and real help. God bless you, I can't thank you enough for all the work you're doing.
I am so glad you do this! I don’t know where I would be if you didn’t start this channel. And if anyone reads this comment. It does get better!!! Slow for me and some days are bad! But it does get better! There is hope!
❤❤❤
Just mentioning here that my off balance challenge caused by stress is like an attack and the way I can describe it is when you walk up some stairs normally and you're thinking about something and you miss a step and nearly fall, it's the same thing and in any scenario except safe place like home, so even stepping onto a bus or sitting down in a car or riding the stair lifts, talking to someone, walking in busy areas. Hope you understand and hope this somehow relates and helps.
Amazing. Dr. Yo, you always manage to send out a video that represents a timely topic in my healing efforts. My anxiety is my worse enemy. My therapist asked me to buy a baseball bat and a punching bag. When I’m experiencing a heightened amount of energy, anxiety, I take the bat and beat the bag until my energy level drops.
Thank you! 🙏🏽 I wish I found your channel years ago..
This is so helpful as I often worry and stress about everything with these symptoms. I will start putting this into practice, daily. Thank you!
You are amazing!!!!♥️♥️♥️
Love this video and all the videos I have done over the past month. Life changing.
Do you have a video on what to do in the moment of a stressful situation when you are alone with the person/event that is causing the stress? When your emotions are uncontrollable and can’t even think clearly? Try to breathe, get to a safe place, I know all of that now, but in the moment, things can get out of control. Like a STOP button on our brain! Immediately. I need one of those.
I have one coming soon about what to do when you’re in a crisis! That might help a lot. Stay tuned.
“I allow”. Brilliant! Not resist but allow!❤
This is an excellent video and Yonit thank you for speaking more
Slowly. I love all your videos and appreciate everything but sometimes I feel more bamboozled and triggered from the speed of info. This video was perfect for me. Thank you 😊
I felt about 98% better for months and got stressed about an upcoming trip last week and now I feel like I’m back to square one. I know I’m not, but it feels like that in the thick of the symptoms. Stress is the worst 😅
Wow I'm loving this thank you so much Yo❤
Thank you for such a great video and sharing this with us it really helps.
Another brilliant video. I had to listen to this one a couple of times.
Thank you so much for this video. I just had a mental breakdown last week and my chronic dizziness is back to full force.
I am also in the same place as you. Dealing with anxiety all my life and dizziness for four years. Had brain mri seen ENT they just told me to drink more water! Love these videos but feel really hopeless right now just cry every day. X
Hang in there. It's bumpy with lots of ups and downs. Joella describes this so well: ua-cam.com/video/kd-915rCHo8/v-deo.html
This was exactly the message I needed to hear today. Thanks, Dr. Yo!
Just what I needed to hear today! Difficulties with family, friends and other loved ones sometimes throw me off my healing path"ways" but this definitely reminded me that I can have stresses in my life and still make a full recovery. Sometimes I get scared about that! Thank you Dr. Yo.
Hi dear Dr! It's priceless what You do, kudos 2U!
I am so incredibly grateful for you and these videos. Stress is such a long standing ‘friend’ for me that feels like it ruin my quality of life. Xxx
Thank you for this video this is an amazing and well said video that makes so much sense what I was doing and now what I have to do
I will be putting all this in place to live a more positive peaceful life
This video I needed to hear why I wasn’t recovering the way I should
Thank you for all the time you put into your videos
From everyone down under ❤️
I am so glad I found your videos. Experienced a very bad fall 6 months ago with concussion and brain bleed. Was told by all medical staff I would fully recover in less than 3 months but am still experiencing severe dizziness. I am under extreme personal stress at this time but had no idea this would affect the severity of the dizziness. Thank you for helping me to understand and accept.
I'm so glad you found me. YES stress can affect how your nervous system responds! But this is still reversible and by working with your nervous system, you can get better.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you.
Thank you so much, I am having symptoms on and off. More on the off these days. I’ll put these steps to practice. It’s been 2 years and I’m kind of frustrated to be honest. It’s like I know I can come out in the other side of the door but can’t find the key. 🙏🏽
I hear you. Hang in there.
Thank you so much for this actionable video, it definitely applies to me. I know that when stressors get larger my sensations get worse. Mostly, I can manage them without added fear, but the nystagmus is scary to me and I don’t know how to manage that. Any tips on that specifically would be helpful. Thank you for all you do.
Everyone has the one symptom that freaks you out. You’re not alone! Try the somatic tracking for visual symptoms!
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you so much. A reply you sent to somebody else about Nystagmus really helped. I also did one of your parts meditations on anxiety and it really helps.
I really appreciate your videos although I'm still not sure how/why stress affects rehab. What is the mechanism? Or should I just accept and test it out - one less thing to stress about.....
Hello Dr Yo, you have helped me so much! Question: Can fear and emotions alone cause nystagmus? Thank you!
Hi! So happy to hear the things we talk about here have been helpful! Nystagmus is simply a sign that your central nervous system is making some kind of error in processing sensory information as expected, so yes, it can be part of a neural circuit or neuroplastic problem. It is harmless as long as there is no tissue damage or disease root cause. Some people are even born with nystagmus and are completely unbothered by it.
I have dealt with PPPD for 3 yrs. I followed your channel for a while. I just wanted to pop in to say your videos are very helpful, but I feel like it doesn't exactly say what the actual cause is. I just kinda figured it out on my own. Idk if everyone is the same, but mine is caused by OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality disorder). Now that I've figured it out, I'm already feeling better rather than constantly wondering what is wrong with me. I'm taking the proper tools to get better. It's a great feeling finally knowing, and my symptoms are already decreasing 😊
She can't diagnose us, it's up to us to try and work out what has led us here and try to move forward...easier said than done but worth it ❤
What tools have you used? I suffer anxiety and ocd. Have my whole life. Would love to know how you got to that conclusion and what you did. The steady coach is amazing x
@michellebenjamin4632 I suffer from anxiety also. How I came to the conclusion is that I realized I was ruminating a lot and I also have perfectionism, low self esteem, and more symptoms of it.. when I went to the dr about it he said it's ocpd. I am taking medication to help, and I'm also doing meditation, light exercise, and listening to music a lot. I keep myself distracted. When I catch myself ruminating, I tell myself I am ruminating, and it's not helpful, and I let the thought go. Getting rest helps. I also take vitamins like multi, fish oil, ashwagandha & L-theanine, d3. And I feel like what has really helped the most is getting OFF SOCIAL MEDIA!! I'm still on youtube, but I only watch the things I enjoy, and I stopped constantly googling, too! No caffeine has helped, also. Trying not to stress easily over little things too.
Thank you x
Can I ask what meds? X
Thank you dr.Yo for another great video! I’ll try to post here the comment that UA-cam deleted, but I god pppd after I was told to cold turkey Xanax that was given to me because of tinnitus, I got so sick I was in bed for months. After vrt I started to be more functional but still with many symptoms, vrt keeps triggering my symptoms so I still do it sometimes, do you know why it works for me when for many with pppd its useless? I’m getting better but very far to feeling well, sometimes I get discouraged seeing that people who got pppd from withdrawals seem to have it worse in intensity and duration, do you think we can still heal? Sometimes I wonder if the withdrawal haven’t cause a permanent damage..
Hello I suffered from this 15 years ago before videos like this and I managed to stop the anxiety process loop after an all clear from a brain scan. But It has recently returned after waking up slightly dizzy my generalised anxiety disorder wouldn’t allow me to stop thinking and catastrophizing about the dizzy sensation I’m now a month in and it’s all I think about from the moment I wake up. I’m so annoyed with myself as I have beaten this before but I keep doubting myself and thinking Is this the same as before? Have I got something serious? Also from what I hear from peoples stories is that my symptoms are milder than others( can you get mild cases of pppd?) it feels like visual lag with head movements worse when standing but better when laying it has yet to stop me functioning day to day other than being a tad down but no falling no sight problems bit of brain fog but not sure if more than normal lol.
Thanks so much for what you do and apologies for extra long message x
Dr Yo, have you heard about Havana Syndrome? Govt are likening it to PPPD,VM ETC but saying it was due to other factors I won't mention here. Interesting...
Doctor my last blood work results came a lot of my inflammation markers are high and also i have elevated TSH levels but my t3 and t4 are normal. My ESR levels are high, do you think PPPD symptoms mimic Multiple sclerosis? Scared and any insights on this
I had relatively stable PPPD conditions, but after taking a week of an antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin), my symptoms increased noticeably and I am having trouble with bringing them back to baseline. Have you seen antibiotics causing stress to the system or increasing PPPD/MDDS conditions?
How do I get information about your course ❤
thesteadycoach.com/free-course
The earthquake we just had in New Jersey did something to my equilibrium. I was much better after watching your videos since last year. Do you know anything about how an earthquake can disrupt the equilibrium? I was feeling better and now it's back. 😪
Hi there, I remember experiencing a 5.5 when I was a teen and my adrenaline was through the roof the rest of the day. This did not disrupt your equilibrium, it turned on your stress response system. Your body is responding to the perceived danger. Don't let it fool you- it's a false alarm now that it has passed.
@TheSteadyCoach thank you so much for reassuring me that's it just the stress response ❤️🙏
Hey Dr. Yo, i’m wondering what you think, cold plunges, and warm showers give me short term relief from my migraine with associated dizziness. I’m wondering if you would see this as evidence that it is a Neuro-circuit issue?
DR. YO TAUGHT US APART FROM BIG PHARMA - PRT (PAIN REPROCESSING THERAPY) IS THE WAY TO GO
Last week the Cleveland Clinic put out an article stating that PPPD never goes away completely and that it is a lifelong condition. But that it can improve greatly with time. I’m at a point now that I can do just about anything and it takes a lot to increase my dizziness symptoms. But my baseline dizziness is always there and has never improved. This article was hard to read and I love your videos and what you do, but I can’t help it now and want to give up. I’ve kept my hope for 2 years now through this and tried many ssri and snri s and believe this is the best I can get. I’m now truly lost because I don’t think I can accept feeling this way forever. 😢
I do love your content Dr. Yo
You’re truly a blessing
Pls tell me it gets better or am I stuck like this?? It's almost a year for me
They are (a) WRONG and (b) have no idea of the harm they cause with that kind of nonsense. I’ll be addressing it in a short next week. But this is another one on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/LeI9M1ffREA/v-deo.htmlsi=znJkKtD8HyWvMhGL
Thank you for continuing to give me hope Dr Yo
Again I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.
