Thank you for your story. My daughter has heard this so many times and lost all of her friends, family members and every part of her childhood and teen years. I’m so excited to come to this clinic
These videos are inspiring. That people are getting better, but they don’t offer ideas on how they got better. Please provide what you did to get better. That would be very helpful.
Since there are thousands of people sick right now we are all looking for a way to get better. It would have been nice to hear about medicines and treatment you had. This video really doesn’t help without letting people know how you were helped.
This video would have been a lot more valuable if you had actually shared what you did to get her better. I got diagnosed with Pots after 2 years of Post Covid suffering, but am yet to hear of any real treatment other than salt, compression and light exercise (which does absolutely nothing for me). Ivabradin has brought down my insane HR but has made me exhausted to the point of being barely functional and brought back the insane brain fog. I get that the channel is trying to attract customers but a lot of us are from overseas and have no access to your facilities and no idea where to go. (I have seen 15 doctors before even getting diagnosed and there doesn’t seem to be a „functional neurologist“ anywhere where I live.) If you could share some treatment details, we could perhaps talk to our normal neurologists about it. Thanks
Here is an interesting link...Can this simple treatment transform patients with POTS and Long COVID? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-retGCkEuE5A.html
I have really been struggling with POTS. I was told by the 3 doctors I saw that they think I have POTS. I am 100% positive I do and trying to find a knowledgable provider that does more than tell me to take salt and electrolytes and send me on my way. I am close to Portland so I will be contacting this clinic. I am so happy that you are being helped bc that gives me a glimmer of hope. Thank you and God Bless you.
Thank you so much for this video ❤ i cried cause im going thru it too and it is scary, but this video gives me hope. I was diagnosed about 2 months ago. I use a wheelchair and walker but you are making me believe i can do it too! Thank you so much 💗💗💗
I had my second worst vertigo attack was back in oct 2023 and since them em struggling with it. Finding it what was it actually was a big deal since symptoms start getting worse, I still am not functional anymore there is always a feeling that i might get faint due to vertigo attack, and if not faint i get super disoriented and all in all it is just aa bad as any weird disease can get.
We have patients come to see us from all over the world. Email info@northwestfunctionalneurology.com so were can set up a consult call to discuss what we can do to help.
Watching this and can’t avoid crying. I have all the symptoms that you have mentioned and a lot of other that I just don’t want to even think about it. I HAVE ISOLATED, I AM TIRED OF TRYING TO EXPLAIN AND EDUCATE OTHERS, ESPECIALLY AFTER KNOWING THAT MY DYSAUTOMIA/POTS IS CAUSED BY LONG COVID. I AM DEPRESSED, I FEEL OVERWHELMED AND SOME DAYS TIRED OF EVEN BEING HERE.
Please drop us a line at info@northwestfunctionalneurology.com. We will set up a consult call with one of our providers and see what we can do to help.
I had a few of these symptoms years ago, before C19. You need to have your upper cervical spine check by an Atlas Chiro specialist and find a good "neurohealth" practitioner in your area that can help calm the dysautonomia you're experiencing. I'm six months deep and I am slowly recovering. Yes its frightening and depressing, I couldn't even drive myself.
This hits home for me, everything you described I have been through at different points in my pots journey. So glad you are creating a recovery video! Keep it up! ❤❤❤
I have this condition long enough and I haven’t found any relief solutions despite I tried so many treatment options included Botox injection which is the main treatment of cervical dystonia and I did also prp injections and some meds but none of this works! I am desperately looking for a reliable relief solution for my health problem but safe and effective! I am from Los Angeles California county. Thanks in advance🙏
Please reach out to us at info@northwestfunctionalneurology.com. We will get a call set up with one of our providers and see what we can do to help. Be well!
The treatment was a specific set of exercises to resolve the discrepancies in her visual and vestibular maps, coupled with therapies to promote better function of her basal ganglionic system. More information can be found here: www.northwestfunctionalneurology.com/blog/what-is-a-dystonia
I literally feel the pause at 8:30 and the outburst (drop of tear) of all the mental trauma and emotional rollercoaster that you went through all those days. I'm exactly going through them now 😭 God please save me !!
@@northwestfunctionalneurolo5250hi , i had vertigo for same secons, not are loss hearing, but i feeling sounds and ringong in my ears, my test audicion is clear. Whae sinyomps did you have? Thankyou, and excuse me for my inglhis.
We were able to map out specifically which parts of her brain were directly impacted by her injury using advanced neurodiagnostic testing. We designed a rehabilitation strategy for her that was specific to her unique presentation.
With me it started when I was 13 years old. I'm 74 years old. I get botox injections. That's all. It ruined my whole life. I'm from the Netherlands and I guess the doctors here are not as advanced as they are in the States. I wish her neurologist would place some exercise video's on RU-vid.
Hi Hettie, I am sorry to hear that. I am a Dutch social worker and one of my clients, 75 years old, was just diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia. The neurologist offered to start treatment with Botox injections. We asked for some time to think about this treatment. That's why I am investigating this. It seems the only treatment available in the Netherlands?
Hettie, we work with people from Europe on a regular basis. We see patients from all over the globe. Please set up a consult call with one of our providers and we'll see what we can do to help.
@northwestfunctionalneurolo5250 Hi I'm jack I have had cervical dystonia for 21 years since I was 16 I'm so desperate I have tried everything I used to be really happy with life before I was 16 Since this it just feels a existence every day If you know any that may help please I be so appreciated 🙏
That would not be helpful. The exercises that we create are specific to the individual. What helps one person could be the opposite of what someone else needs. Everything we do is determined by precise neurodiagnostic testing. There is no cookie cutter approach to treating dystonia, every case is different.
I’m crying listening to this as I have had stroke like symptoms my body seizes up and I go stiff I can’t breathe. My abdomen seizes up and I can’t open my diaphragm to take breathe I want to heal and need answers I’m part of a pot’s clinic and get no help. I want to know I can get better ❤️🩹
I have had Dystonia for 7 years. This month I walked without help for the first time in those years. Cervical Dystonia is amazingly silent. Tremors gone. I saw a huge change by changing my diet to a carnivore diet. I would encourage others to pursue keto or Carnivore removing all sugar and carbohydrates.
Can u lie flat on bed without pillow. I still can't lie flat on floor or on bed. I feel so dizzy. But yes can manage. Exercises and meditation helped me a lot in improving balance and headaches
I had this driving home from work. It was like a light switch and the world was spinning. Luckley pulled over and felt like i was going to pass out someone helped me get ambulance. Tried getting out my van collasped throwing up everywhere couldnt stand up. Blue lighted to hospital they thought id had stroke has i have high blood pressure. In from thursday till saturday end up on stroke ward after all tests then came back as this took me 5 weeks to get my balance back. It was horrible especially the thought of when will this end will i ever be normal again.
Hi there Have you recovery yet? Your story is identical to mine. Collapsed early one morning. Spinning out of control. Vomiting terribly. No speech unable to move my body .spent 7days in stroke unit .didnt improve at all .had the cat scans & mri .ruled out stroke but diagnosed with Vestibular neuritis & bppv also? That was 6 months now and I'm still walking with a crutch / I was bed bound for nearly 2 months an still unable to speak correctly . I'm still having accupuncture & physio for thr VN .trying to stay positive is hard as I guess you know ? Whilst my balance issues are still there ' not as bad as the first few months tho. How is your journey now if you dont mind me asking ? As I read up on this daily from here in uk I wish you well 🙏
@@Lovemy911 hi there, I'm uk aswell. I'm fine now it took around 5 weeks, till I felt normal again. I have heard peoples recovery differs from a couple of weeks to couple of months usually but as with yourself alot longer which is the worrying part when will it go but I just seemed to improve each day is horrible scary experience not know what's happening to you. I can't even say I did or used anything to help relieve symptoms it went naturally. Wish you all the best with your recovery
Happened to me also , I’m 3/4 days in , started day before myself and partner were going on holiday , I woke up to the room spinning at 100mph , I was then vomiting every time I tried to lay down in bed , got some anti sickness tabs and did BPPV exercises and the vertigo has eased massively, although I’m lightheaded and a bit dizzy still . Hopefully see the doctor soon for a diagnosis, I suffer with hearing loss and tinnitus on one side. Sounds like I have the same as you guys…Manchester UK
@@gerardregan6937Morning Its truly a terrible experience when it first hits you ' Literally thought I was dying 😮. Sounds like your going thru it too . I have read up on this massively in the last 6 months and I believe with tinnitus & loss of hearing they class it as labyrinthitus/ or menieres disease if I'm correct? If your in hospital I'm guessing theyll put you in touch with ENT specialist. And if needed MRI SCAN to rule out anything else.i had both CT & MRI on head an stomach ' went back for neck scan recently. As my neck has been in agony since.limited movement an the Vestibular migraine coming thru this area into my lower skull. Very cloudy & severe brain fog . is this the same for you too? I know it affects people differently and for varying lengths of time too.im 6months in now and still have zero balance and terrible vertigo. The medication does nothing unfortunately. Walking is still impossible without my wife & my crutches to help me .hence I only leave the house for appointments etc. We pray every day!🙏 Ps I'm in my mid 50s and also uk Midlands. I'd say push your drs/ demand a scan etc.snd try for answers as my experience is even the so called experts seem confused or divided on opinions with Bppv / Vestibular issues etc Hey I wish you well buddy 🙏
I sustained TBI from a bashing to the head in 2205. I have struggled with seizures ever since & stopped meds in 2012 bcause of s/effects & some drugs were making the seizures worse. I am tying the keto diet.
27 year TBI survivor here from a bad car wreck from 3/31/97... I was in the hospital 26 days and in Physical Therapy 18 months... I struggle with repeating myself,poor multitasking skills,poor short term memory etc... I attempted and failed at several careers-(Special Education Teacher,Car Salesmam,911 Radio Dispatcher)...The combination of TBI issues,PTSD issues and Career Failures led to increased Depression,anxiety and Suicidal Thoughts... I FINALLY have a somewhat decent quality of life now... I FINALLY received SSDI-(Social Security Disability Income) after 15 years,4 appeals and 3 attorneys... I drive for a Car Dealership part time and build model cars part time as a hobby... These activities bring meaning to my life,help me deal with my TBI and PTSD issues,and improve my self esteem...
