Meet charming Amie from Quebec. Amie had a spell of BPPV but did the maneuvers and just went on with her day, like the resourceful and driven women she is. Symptoms didn't go away, however; instead, they got worse. Soon she experienced 24/7 symptoms like vertigo, pain, nausea, headache, balance issues and more. It's hard to tell today from her bright and happy appearance, but she was depressed and downright miserable. When doctors, medicine and physiotherapy didn't work, she started looking elsewhere.
Learn about the hallmark inconsistencies in her symptoms, the benefit of exercise and how her history with OCD played a role. We also get to hear about how she worked with her thoughts and emotions in her recovery work. Today Amie is 90% recovered and easily handle the little symptoms occasionally appearing. Also, she's learned about the emotional connection to her symptoms and how to handle that.
