Thank you for sharing your story, Pablo. As an 8 year sufferer of something like MdDS, first time in a while I’ve had hope. These videos are life saving in a literal sense. Hope you continue to feel well! And thanks to the Steady Coach for being a voice of reason and reassurance amongst all the clueless doctors.
@@pablobano2464 Thank you Pablo.for sharing your story. Its been tough and l really can relate. So looking for the inconsistencies in the symptoms l will try and do...at the moment l feel like lm stuck.
@@pablobano2464 @janiceince1965 19 hours ago (edited) Paublo did you have the sensory issues with this.? Loud noises and visual dependency? I know those are symptoms of anxiety fight or flight response... So basically all you did was stop fearing them and just believe that the brain was causing the symptoms no other techniques?.. This is the 3rd time I've watched this.😢
This story brought me to tears. I can really relate to Pablo because I had my symptoms when there was barely anything on RU-vid and it was years of torture trying to do vestibular exerices and seeing chiropractors, neurologists and you name it. Also the trying of every single antidepressant, I know how that feels and that hopelessness is the worst feeling ever. I was really moved by your story Pablo, sometimes I doubt my own ability to recover because I've been at that 80% but it just came back with a vengeance but it's totally possible!!! Excellent story
I have been suffering from MdDS for months. Nothing has helped, medications, doctors.. I have a family to provide for and the condition is taking a real toll. This video gave me hope. Thank you.
Great insight. I have been told i have possible pppd.. But listening to Pablo story I have exactly the same symptoms of Mdds. The rocking and swaying.. Driving a car I'm fine, sitting on a train I'm fine. I too couldn't wait to go to bed each night as my symptoms were better whilst laying down. This has been going on a year now and changing my thoughts on the symptoms do help, try to focus on other things rather than the symptoms does bring some relief.. I have a way to go yet, but Pablo's story makes so much sense, just got to keep trying.
Thanks to you, sir, I was able to visit my mother and go out for a birthday meal for the first time in nearly three years. It was both terrifying and wonderful. Thank you so much. And my gratitude to the Dr.!
Absolutely delighted for you and your family Pablo, your story is truly inspiring. I wish you only good things on your journey through life. Stay well my friend!
Thank you Pablo , I have suffered for 18 plus years was diagnosed eventually last years with unilateral hypofunction, PPPD and vestibular migraine your video moved me to tears .
Thank you once again dr Yo and Pablo for this interview. The take away is overcoming the fear , it absolutely takes work everyday like an effort to push through and make myself do the things I enjoy . The hope is the most important thing that I found and received from dr yo , I have had this since 2017 and now I take one day at a time , most are good and some are less than good but I am beyond grateful to the care and genuine concern from dr Yo . I am living a productive life and this will not stop me .
Absolutely awesome Pablo. I'm 20 months in and found Dr Yo April 2023. I have plateud now for several months, and it's so hard to move forward. Bless all struggling from NCD and Dr Yo.❤
Thank you this has been very helpful. I’ve just been diagnosed and I’m going to get back to my life and stop fearing it. I know this will take time but perseverance is the key!
Thank you so much for sharing this story! I've been dealing with pppd symptoms since last year summer after having a panic attack during a very stressful period. I've found this channel last winter and it has been very helpful, I often listen to these success stories when having less good days. While I'm much better than at the beginning, my main problem remains walking, I often feel unsteady/trampoline feeling and have a lot of fear for the symptoms. It is worse when I'm more stressed, but I also have periods or days where it's much better. Last week I went to a yoga class for the first time, I was very anxious to go alone and was afraid of having a panic attack, but after I felt the best I've felt in a long time and walked home not feeling dizzy at all. Thank for having this channel dr!
Thank you for sharing this with us. As someone diagnozised with pppd -mdds type I'm always happy to see that we can fully recover. I really hope I can do it soon🙏
Hi Doc. Yonit l appreciated Pablo story it is bitter sweet , l learned new things from all your videos. Thank you may God continue to bless your family.
Thank you for your story Pablo. Im 3 years in and this is inspiring. I have a similar analytical and verging on obsessive mind, but didn't think I was a worrier. It's clear that I am wrong and that I hold on to things. All the very best and thanks again! Thanks Dr Yo!
I would say next step is live with that bit of fear next to you and ignore it to the best of your abilities, don't answer the fear, just let it be there😊
My story is same like Pablos , I am having MDDS since the last 4 years , I am a sailor & working on ship on rotation. This video gives me hope for remission & I am very keen to do the same as Pablo mentioned in this video, Thank you Yonit for the inteerview & Thanks Pablo for sharing your story
Hallo 😊 Pablo, i feel like i needed to hear your story. When you said: windsurfing... i was a kitesurfing teacher for 10years when one day after the busy day i start beeing dizzy... i am runing around doctors for 2,5 years.. my life change a lot... i am still doing my sports and busing myslef but while i am doing sports i am ok., when i stop i feel even worst. I am so happy i have found your chanel Dr. Thank you. I need your help
I’ve had reoccurring MDDS for 2 years. Everything you focus on with stress and trauma is true in my experience. Started after a cruise, but also trauma. Each time it has taken me about two months to get symptoms to ease with lots and lots of stress management basically. Finding you has and your success stories has confirmed I was on the right track and not imagining this process. Grateful to you and all your clients that share their journeys.
This was SO good!! I’m nearing my 3rd dizzy anniversary and not every success story resonates anymore but this one definitely did! My baseline has gotten slightly better but still dealing with a lot of dips and setbacks. I try to think of them the same way I think of lets say a headache - it’s annoying and sometimes it requires extra rest, but you wouldn’t panic about “what if it never gets better” over a headache. But after a couple of days of strong symptoms old fears start creeping in so it’s still a work in progress. I will say though that for most part I don’t let my dizziness rule my life anymore. I still have some obsticles I need to fully face but I don’t avoid 90% of things and hopefully that keeps improving. This was much needed motivation to hear right now after having a couple of bad symptoms days.
Maja I've been thinking of you and wondering how you were. Did you join the group the movement within on Facebook that someone from the steady coach started?
I am at 12 years now of sensations. I have been doing the work for 3+ years. Most of my fear is gone but it has been replaced by anger at times. I have improved, but extremely slowly....something is better than nothing I guess. I do most things, I just dont feel well doing them even after doing them for years.
I am exactly the same. Ive rationalised it all but its still like being in a dizzy dream. Im not frightened of it, but was at first. I do everything but I feel shocking and its hard to really enjoy things fully!
@DonHalli I'm the same. I was terrified the first couple years and then once I got on the mind body journey, I realized nothing was wrong and just went on with things the best I could. The problem is...like you said it's hard to fully enjoy anything when you aren't feeling well all the time *shrug*. It is what it is I guess....I just keep working on messages of safety because I know nothing is truly wrong with me.
What an amazing story You are proof your hard work dedication and really asking questions paid off You are amazing and give so much hope for others Thank you 💙
Thank you so much for sharing your story Pablo. All your advice and what you did is so inspiring. It's a horrible condition but you have recovered and definitely gives hope to all.of us.
Woooow Pablo!!! He llorado escuchando tu historia. Me siento muy conmovida por testimonios como el tuyo. Yo llevo 10 años viviendo una auténtica pesadilla de mareos y otros síntomas muy incapacitantes 24/7 y aunque ya en 2017 oí este diagnóstico, no quise adentrarme mucho porque lo sentía un poco vago y tuve que complicarme viendo a cientos de médicos (no es una exageración), decenas de tratamientos y pruebas e incluso tratamientos intravenosos de 15h cada semana durante un año… e incluso hace 10 meses una operación muy dura que me dejó paralizada media cara durante cuatro meses… y todo para nada porque sigo igual o peor. Siempre intentando saber lo que me pasa (investigado incansablemente desde lo médico, lo mental, emocional, lo energético y espiritual). Para escribir un libro 🤦🏻♀️…. También soy de Madrid y me alegra mucho saber de un madrileño que lo consiguió ❣️ Ahora, el mayor inconveniente que veo para poder profundizar con herramientas prácticas (más allá de los vídeos) es el idioma. No sé si ya habéis dejado más contenido en español porque no veo la manera de acceder a un coaching sin hablar inglés fluido y siento que tengo algunas dudas aún. Gracias por compartirte y ser tan valiente. Entre todos remamos mejor 🙏🤍💫
@@pablobano2464hola Pablo! No se que pasa que te respondí a tu mensaje aquí pero ahora no lo veo! Te decía que no me deja mandarte mensajes privados por aquí. Te di mi nombre en Ig por si querías hablar por ahí pero te he encontrado, así que, si no te importa hablamos Por ahí (ahora te escribo)… o si sabes la manera de hacerlo por aquí u otro medio, me da igual. Gracias!!! ❣️
I want to help in german. I have simular symptoms. I dont know if it is PPPD or MDDS. But i know i can recover from now. Thank you so much for giving hope to ill people❤
I have rocking swaying bobbing and my anxiety is thry the roof my whole body is off seen numerous drs Neurologist said i have an oversensitive vestibular system I dont want to live like this anymore 😢
dr yonit arthur, thank you very much you have been my support for 2 years through this story with Pablo it is time to move on. For 2 years I have been looking for solutions to a problem. it's not there it never was. I have struggled with panic attacks for years and this story was so recognizable! I've decided to unfollow you on RU-vid and move on with my life. because that is the only solution. I don't ignore my MdDs because it was never there, it's a problem in my head just like my panic attacks. keep up this work I'm so happy for the support I got from your videos but now it's time to live again. you are priceless, remember that. Somehow I also find this farewell quite difficult and I am sitting here with tears typing this because you have no idea how important you have been to me over the past 2 years. thank you very much for that. ❤️
I consider my job well done if I get "goodbye" comments like these. Isn't the whole point of this work to get you BACK TO LIVING LIFE so you don't need to do dizziness stuff anymore? I sure think so. GO LIVE YOUR LIFE, JESS! There's nothing wrong with you!!!! And put a note on your calendar to come back in a year and update us, or send us an email telling us how you're doing (info@thesteadycoach.com)
@@TheSteadyCoach Yes, I will definitely do it! Today I had a very good day thanks to Pablo's video, I haven't had it this good in a long time. I have written down your email and put it in my calendar. I remember the first video I watched of yours, you asked the question "ask yourself why do I suffer from these complaints" and I did a search for that answer and when I watched Pablo's video the pieces of the puzzle fell. together. I have had a very difficult life, I am 37 and I have needed these MdDs to process the pain, sadness and anger. what I already responded to your last video on Sunday, it brought me a lot and now I realized why I had MdDs, I needed all the things it brought me to close my past. and I know it won't go away tomorrow, but I know it will get better every day. and I know there are people who, like me, walk with their soul under their arm, but remember, you will also get out of here and everything you learn from this time will only make you stronger.
Thank you Pablo and dr Yo. Couldnt stop crying, why does his story seems like mine just im 8 months in. im tired.. still dont want to give up for myself for my kids for my husband
Wow! Thank you Pablo for sharing your story thank you, Dr Yo for sharing this as well. listening to this it brought me to tears. I have just recently joined Megan group to help me with my recovery. It’s only been a week I have learnt so much already however I feel the more I’m thinking about these things the more my symptoms get worse. The more I try to put these things into practice the more my symptoms and even new ones that are so debilitating like it’s attacking me, it’s trying to stop me from recovering. I guess because I want this so bad and I’m not seeing any progress or improvement I start to lose hope. After listening to Pablo I realised how hard it is to recover. I really don’t know what else to do being a single Mum I really want that freedom again to be able to enjoy time with my daughters. ❤🙏
Such a great success story! Thank you so much for sharing! Dr. Yonit, quick question, I have been dealing with dizziness for years now, but never officially had gone through vestibular rehabilitation. It’s possible I had neuritis or BPPV at the beginning of it all. Do you think vestibular rehab is necessary or worth doing at this point?
Nothing stops me from going out and enjoy life, but summer season hits different. The unbearable heat makes all the symptoms worse. In that case, should I stay home..??
Think of heat like a contributor to your stress bucket. The less stress in your bucket, the less the heat will affect you. When you have a lot of stress, the heat will affect you more.
Thank you so much for this story. @yonit, i have a question. I'm dealing with pppd for a while now and starting to feel better. Doing that by somatic tracking and feeling my emotions better. Yesterday i went on a boot for 12 hours. Although i knew it was the boat that moved, i found the feelings of wobbling very frightening. Now i'm off the boat and i feel bad. Constant swaying and moving. It scares the hell out of me... does this mean i got myself mdds on top of pppd? 😢 I rationally know that even if so, i have to deal with it the same way as i do with my pppd, but i really could use some reassurance.....
In1997,I felt off balance . Then my Dad died. Shortly after I couldn't focus my eyes......every thing was disappearing upwards. At the same time I kept falling forwards. I felt dizzy ,tired and like my sinuses were blocked. The Doc admitted me to hospital ... I was there 6 weeks my first m.r.i showed a shadow no_one knew what it was and a week later I had a completely normal scan . After 6 weeks I was discharged and was told,'Dunno what it is _ learn to live with it! ' I'm now 63,still very fall over, eyes still wobbly and blurry amongst others. I hope it is neural circuit dizziness.
Thank you. Congratulations. I’ve had my issue for 13 years and have been studying and implementing TMS for 5 years starting with Dr Shubiner who set me back by instilling fear in me. I had to start getting over fear first. Mentally I’m better and somewhat physically.
Thank you for taking the time to reply but I do not agree that nothing is wrong: not being able to walk without feeling dizzy; that's to say, feeling as if I am always on a boat, is not what the overwhelming majority of people would describe as everything working as it should. I feel as if the spirit level in my head is not working properly but I do not know why?
Hi Dr. Yo! I want to thank you for this platform you’ve created because it has truly made an impact in my life and recovery along with many others. I do have one question. About 9 months into my MDDS journey I developed really bad eye floaters (have always had one that rarely bothered me) but now I see multiple all day and they make me naseous. Is this something you see often and something that resolves? Thank you!
@@sindi13 ugh I am trying to do that but it drives me crazy when I am trying to work and worry it is permanent. thank you for sharing that you are dealing with it as well :)
Pablo, what did you mean by fear weakness? I have inconsistencies in my symptoms but very different from yours in someways did you have any balance issues? Mary-Anne
I have balance issues along with Pablo's symptoms plus horrible head roar tinnitus, vertigo and dizziness...I'm in my 5th year...I was better for 2 years on meds but the meds stopped working and I'm back to square one...some days I'm almost normal, but most days I'm not. My diagnosis is vestibular migraine and I do meet the criteria, going all the way back to childhood and continuing to age 70 with the classic pattern over 6 decades....however I also meet the criteria for Menieres and MdDS....I'm seeing a neuro-otlogist next month for a 2nd opinion b/c of the inconsistencies I've noticed in my symptoms...I'm beginning to suspect I have TMJD b/c I have bruxism which can cause head roar tinnitus, balance issues, vertigo and dizziness. I also have forward head posture and neck pain and I have a history of whiplash, more than once, which can cause my symptoms due to cervical/neck issues. I'm inclined to think I have vestibular migraine plus another issue or possibly two. And to throw one more thing into the mix, part of the work-up which led to my diagnosis of vestibular migraine was an MRI which showed a cyst in the maxiallry sinus on my left side..when all this started I had a stuffy ear, stuffy nose, some ear/head pain on that side which could be due the cyst putting pressure on the eustachian tube, forcing fluid into the middle ear which would also cause tinnitus, dizzines, vertigo and balance issues...the ENT doc I was seeing at the time had to do a myringotomy to drain the fluid trapped behind my ear drum. Said all this to make the point that sometimes it's not just one thing going on. It's important to notice the incosistencies and consider there might be a couple of things going on.
I’ve been diagnosed with PPPD twice by neurologists. My symptoms are terrible. The only time I get any respite is in a moving vehicle. Could this be MdDS instead??
dr Yonit, can i ask you, would you say that for my problem, (delayed processing of information , and therefore problems with balance all the time and dizzy), the same approach is the right one? So stop the anxiety and focus and fight against the symptoms? Is my problem the same cause and approach?❤
Thank you both!! I want so badly the realizations to make improvements but I need to ask …. Does anyone have any difficulties with writing or speech? All of my tests have been normal, so far but I’m still feel like maybe I’m broken.
Yes, for me when it is flared up I have a hard time processing and it is scary, which makes it feel worse and the cycle goes round and round. But the moment I get beyond the worry over it it seems to all subside with enough distraction and lowered anxiety in my case.
@@Tmariethompson Thank you so much! It’s like the second I realize I’m writing or as soon as I hear myself have trouble saying a word, it just gets worse!
Can someone help me: why is it we can drive cars without symptoms but when we walk we are dizzy, surely the issue is our movement (walking) rather than movement around us (driving) what is going on?
While you are feeling temporary better (while driving or exposing yourself for a passive motion) you are back in that perfect balanceprogram the brain created for you when you was exposed under a prolonged time of a passive motion event. When you are on land standing still again, that balanceprogram is not perfect anymore because you are not in that state anymore the brain expects to be in, you are on land. If you want to recover faster from your dizziness I recommend you not to expose yourself for passive motions and give the brain a chance to reprogram it's balanceprogram for walking or standing still on land as we were created and born with. There's nothing wrong with you or your body, everything works as it should.
Don't expose yourself to passive motions for to long time especially not with stress as that will make your brain habituate to the movements it think it should be in to make you not fall and hurt yourself. Mdds is not just a mental problem it's a physical problem.
None of the conditions we talk about are mental conditions. All are sensory processing problems just like MdDS. And i respectfully disagree with the blanket recommendation to avoid all passive motion but 100% support what helps you ❤️
@@TheSteadyCoach When I wrote mental I ment stress/anxiety. I didn't wrote "to avoid all passive motion" I wrote: "for to long time"; meaning it's about the length of time you're exposing yourself, not doing it to much: like if you're driving a car for 20 minutes a day versus driving it for 3 hours back and fourth with no rest; that's the source as trigger mdds in the brain. Once mdds has been activated it will get harder to get out of it because you are in a panic state, the panic state makes the balance program in the brain stronger, and exposing yourself for passive motions then is not a good idea because your only simulating the passive motion event as triggered your mdds in the first place which doesn't give the brain a chance to recover while you're on land standing.
Thank you for your story Pablo. I have a quick question, how did you not pay attention to your symptoms. The more i try ans not pay attention the more my brain panics. But if i have a light focus on my symptoms i feel less panicked ans more accpeting. I realise this is paying symptoms attention though. My brain then just goes round and round in circle of you need to stop paying them attention and i try not to then my body panics. I just feel so stuck
That is because you fear the symptoms and you need to keep "watching" them. You will learn to live with your symptoms without paying attention to them...and then they will stop happening all together...easier said than done I know
Is everyone on a disability pension? How does everyone get by? I’m lucky I own my house, but we have kids going to private school next year, I can barely work without feeling dizzy all the time. Not sure I can go on, especially with the type of work I have. Physical and a lot of bending over required.
Balance gets worse with eyes closed and sometimes when lying down in bed with a normal head pillow my head and body vibrates internally which makes me wake up with fear and going back to sleep becomes tough. Anyone with such symptoms?
I used to have this I promise you it gets better with time once the nervous system is able to calm down.. I used to hate having to go to sleep because of this vibrating sensation in my head!!

@@janiceince1965I came to the realisation that there was nothing wrong with me by finding inconsistencies which eliminated the fear associated with the symptoms which ultimately leads to recovery
