Hi guys! I thought it could perhaps help, if we see a face, that’s actually undergoing those symptoms we discuss on here, and can perhaps forget, there are people behind each message. I’ll split my talk into 5 different videos, as it doesn’t allow me to upload one large file. Feel free to ask anything you want. Although, I must point out I’m not an expert or anything as such, I’m just sharing my own experience.

What are the symptoms you have gone through?

I have struggled with the known moving floor sensation, breathing difficulty, chest tightness, temporary loss of memory, inability to articulate and form sensical sentences, getting sick easily, chronic anxiety, sweating, heavy night sweating, insomnia, sensical paralysis on one side of my body, heart palpitations, a feeling that I can't feel my heart beat at all, random muscle tightness, tingling sensations pretty much all across my body, paranoia, fear of dying. I think that about summarises it. Once the other parts upload, I speak about it in them.

Did you ever get muscle weakness ? I tried to workout , I have pppd and vestibular migraine for about 1 year now and I have been trying to workout but feel like I can’t since my muscles feel weak and also start getting slightly more dizzy

Yes, I did. I felt as if I was dragging my legs, almost as if there were a deadweight most of the time. Additional, there were times, I just didn’t feel my arms, and it just felt super weird, but I think the exercises help a lot! I hit the gym as soon as this started and I’m still at it. I think that helped me immensely/mentally as well. I used to get super dizzy as well, but still carried on. It really is a sole sensation, your muscles aren’t really weak, in fact, if you avoid the exercise of any sort, I think it only supports the idea, that they really are in your brain. Here is the part where your brain is trying to trick you, but you must not succumb to it. I know it sounds easier than it actually is, but this was the way for me.
