My counselor has suggested ART therapy. Anybody tried it? What do you think of it? Most importantly, did it help with anxiety and/or PTSD?

Anybody have any tips or tricks to make sitting upright for a long time (1 hour+) more bearable. I have a celebration of life to attend this weekend and I’m dreading sitting still for that length of time.

What’s the consensus on pools? Does swimming make us feel worse, better, or neutral? 58f newly diagnosed with this very challenging BS.

Yesterday was a tough day. I had my evaluation at vestibular rehab therapy. And we had several errands to run in the car. Was “on the boat” bad yesterday evening. Had a good cry. I fell asleep around 11:00pm and woke up at 2:00am. I lied still and paid attention to how my head felt. No vertigo or dizziness after having it badly only 3 hours earlier. It’s around 4pm today and it’s been a nicer day than yesterday so far but still a little vertigo.

How do we feel after we’ve gotten off the riding lawnmower? I still feel movement. Ugh.

Just wondering if anyone had an anxiety disorder prior to being diagnosed with PPPD?

I have the vertigo where I feel like I’m moving when I’m not. I have found some relief rocking in my rocker/recliner. I think the movement somehow “satisfies” my vestibular system or maybe it confuses it. Just thought I’d put it out there. Maybe it will help someone else dealing with this horrible stuff.

Anyone with VM taking clomipramine (aka Anafranil)?

Do you “regular” migraine sufferers ever get the rocking, swaying, bobbing feeling or is that just vestibular migraine sufferers?

Do you feel better or worse while moving in a vehicle?

Are brain zaps/ head shocks part of VM? I’ve had them when coming off an antidepressant but I haven’t changed anything lately. I notice them a lot when I move my eyes to the side. Ugh.
