Neuroplasticity: How to Rewire your Brain and Heal Dizziness/PPPD 

Yes! This is awesome. Sounds like you have learnt a lot. Keep going 💪🏼✨

Are better now ?

Thanks for sharing Kelly. Every day you have the chance to start again, please don't give up hope. You absolutely have to keep going. Try to get out of your head and into the body, focus on your lower legs and feet. Try to recreate a new sense of balance and steadiness. Neuroplasticity will work for everyone, it can work for you too! 🙏🏼

I have these symptoms also...Kelly are you recovered now?

That's a great attitude to have, I hope you have a speedy recovery 🙏😊

Thanks so much I appreciate that!

Thank you for your kind words and you're very welcome 🙏🏼😊

Wonderful! Best of luck to you 🤞🏼🍀

How are you Emma? I would love to see you make more videos 🙂 🙏

Thats amazing! We all have to start somewhere, keep going! I'm so pleased you're finding improvement and starting to heal 🙏🏼

Good luck with your rehabilitation! You can definitely heal and get better 🙏🏼 having a positive mindset is helpful but it's also OK to feel other emotions too, we are only human! ❤️

What rehab and therapy are you doing?

I also had dizziness after my first covid jab in April 2021. It came on overnight with no warning. I have only just got in to see an ENT specialist, and have an MRI booked this month. The specialists so far have mentioned labrynthitis, Vestibular migraine. Only agreed it could PPPD when I suggested it. I hope the videos will help. The Steady coach on You tube is also good to watch

You can heal from PPPD from nueroplasticity. I’m about 60-70% healed after about 8 months. Got PPPD from Covid / BPPV. Also, rock steady is an amazing book and really helps! Lots of self compassion & continue to live your life and take your dizziness (mine was really visual) as a no big deal approach!

You definitely can! 💖

Try "The Way Out" by Alan Gordon. He also has a great recent Podcast Episode called "I’m Trying So Hard to Get Rid of My Pain, Why Isn’t It Working?" His Podcast is called "Tell Me About Your Pain". He has very up to date research on these matters. He focuses on pain, but the same techniques apply to dizziness, as he states in the podcast. Good luck & love from Germany

Yeah

Always remember you can't die from dizziness, find and prepare safe zones and positions where you know you don't get dizzy, or the least worse, and have something ready that will distract our thoughts like a DVD you really really want to watch.

Yes due to the hormone changes, I think particularly with estrogen, this can affect dizziness symptoms so you are right to notice that around your period you may feel a slight increase in dizziness

Please can you share more details? Was your dizziness 24/7? I got VN from covid and i am in a very screwed up situation i feel no difference 3 months in. Its messing me up please advise

@@Mano0f of course, how can I help & what would you like to know? It’s tough, I know.. hang in there… you will recover

I have that exactly.

I'm sorry your in such a bad place with it. I never took any medication although I was offered it. It's a very personal decision so discuss with your Doctors and do whats right for you! People with anxiety, worriers, introverts, ocd etc can increase the chances of developing PPPD but that doesn't mean you can't get better. You don't need to change who you are as a person there are many strengths in those personality types and you should be proud of and love who you are 💫❤️ but you need to change your perception of the dizziness. You don't need to love it or be positive all the time about it but start by showing yourself self compassion and self love. Be your biggest supporter! You have to be, because no one else can get better for you, it has to come from you! Feeling hopeless, frustrated, down and depressed etc is so common and I honestly do get it, its hard to pull yourself out of a dark place but everyone has to start somewhere. Feeling negative and constantly judging/ blaming myself never helped so I had to make a change. What sort of support do you have right now? Do you know where to start to get better? You can check out my Instagram @balanceyourlifenow as well as my other RU-vid vids to help get you started 🙏🏼❤️

@Ashley Hume - For what it’s worth, I was prescribed Alprazolam (Xanax) and I resisted until one day I was so dizzy with my ears ringing so bad, that I broke down & took less than 1/2 mg and within 20 minutes, it was like a miracle - I felt normal for the first time in 4 months - I also was getting raging migraine headaches - it was a trifecta of misery - i then was also prescribed Nortriptyline, an antidepressant, but I think that was prescribed more for migraine prevention than the dizziness - so, I continue to take as small amount of both as I can - I feel so much better, but towards the end of the day when it starts wearing off, I can tell that I don’t want to give it up yet, but hopefully, can gradually get back to completely normal without any meds - so, I feel your pain & hope you get better soon - blessings to you from sunny Central Florida ☺️ and p.s. I definitely do feel that anxiety & stress can play a part in everything

​@@balanceyourlifenow1651 you are such an Angel..Thank you so much. How long was your path to recovery since you started Neuroplasticity?

Hi! ​@@Melody-285Are you still taking Nortriptyline? Did you experience any side effects?

Shad Helmstetter the power of neuroplasticity ❤️

Hi, I'm sorry your doctors are pushing you away and saying it just anxiety as I'm sure from what you're saying it could be more than that and you should be getting more support. Please try to understand that the dizziness is safe and it won't hurt you. Once I learned this I could train myself out of feeling so threatened by it. This will help to control your panic attacks to the point that in time they will disappear and the dizziness will be less aggressive. Have a look at my video how to deal with unwanted emotions. Learn to sit and feel safe with your symptoms this will retrain the brain (Neuroplasticity). Hang in there, it does get easier. Yes the beating sensations in your ear can also be related. It's like you can become oversensitive to the different sensations and noises that your body make so without realising you overfocus on them. Again, they are all safe. But please consult with your Doctors if concerned as I don't know you so can't be sure of what symptoms you are describing

Same

That's why I have lots of videos on my channel that gives you a ton of free info to further help you on your healing journey 🙏

I'm feeling amazing thank you! 😊

Hi there, what you are describing is common and can be healed using Neuroplasticity which is where you retrain the brain to feel your desired sensations. As a place to start I would recommend reading and learning about Neuroplasticity so you understand the principles of how it works. It is a process though and takes time, so be kind to yourself 🙏🏼

@@balanceyourlifenow1651 thanks for this video, my dear! Is it possible to have this for a life time? Heena who has commented up, says her mother has this for 25 years!!!!! Though i am here with this after 2.5 years, i can feel im healing, but very slowly...have triggers when i dont have a good sleep, noises, crowd, exertion, stress anxiety etc... but living with this for decades, is hell !!!

They said I had bppv as well when mine started 5 years ago finally got a second diagnosis and it was pppd and I’m starting to see recovery with the help of an anxiety med and retraining my brain

@@curtiscooper490 im taking anxiety meds too myvhead always trembleling what medication that gave you?

@@MonaGlam10 busbar

@@MonaGlam10 what does anxiety meds do for dizziness??

That's absolutely not true. You have no idea what I've been through or how this experience has been for me. I had several months where I couldn't exercise at all. I had time off of hockey. I had time off of work. Movement actually made me feel better most of the time, I was at my worst when sitting still, but for some it's the opposite, so actually no two people with PPPD are the same. When you say "most people" I speak to people daily who suffer with this condition and the majority can walk or drive for longer than a few minutes, there are exceptions of course but you have to respect everyone is on their own journey. My videos are purposely positive and aimed to motivate and inspire others. How can I do that if I sit and complain about how excruciating the symptoms were for me. There is lots about my journey I haven't shared here. Many people say listening to people complain and describe their symptoms in a negative way makes them feel more dizzy! So I try not to focus on symptoms and more on recovery 😊

@@balanceyourlifenow1651 “ many people say that listening to people complain and describe their symptoms in a negative way makes them worse .” Wow There’s a statement . Who are these many people ? So this is a fact that this happens ? Or just maybe a lot of people are suffering do much they can’t play hockey and drive etc ? What’s your medical qualifications on this illness ? Or are you purely going from your own experience and what “ many people” apparently tell you ?
