Please share success stories
Hello,
I used to be an extremely active person. I ran, did strength training, swim team, water sports, roller coasters, travel, etc.
In the last five years I've suffered with chronic dizziness episodes - dozens of trips to a vestibular therapist. I've probably done the Epley like 100+ times. Some have definitely been BPPV and confirmed with PT/nystagmus. I suspect a lot of PPPD is thrown in there and potentially VM issues - although I have not been formally diagnosed with these last two things.
Please share success stories with me. I have returned to strength training, although not as intense as previously. But I am anxious about traveling (planes/boats). I avoid roller coasters and theme parks now. And most importantly, being in water frightens me. And I'm such a fish. I'd love to be scuba certified. To surf again. To wakeboard again. To do flip turns in a swimming pool. I used to be very adventurous and down for anything and now I struggle physically and mentally with being more sedentary.
If you've experienced chronic BPPV or chronic dizziness from VM or something else, can you confirm that you've returned to a normal active lifestyle? And also any tips if you have them?
Thanks so much.
