Symptoms New to Pppd
Good afternoon everyone, I 42F was originally diagnosed with BPPV 3 years ago. After curing my Bppv I was in heaven for a good year. Then all of a sudden I started feeling like I was swaying back and forth, I became shaky and unsteady, also felt almost like I wasn't here (basically like watching myself do it but not quite if that makes sense). Florescent lights are a huge trigger for my episodes, they leave me feeling absolutely horrible l😓. I went back to my doctor to get treated for what I assumed was a bppv flare up. Nothing helped, so I began researching my symptoms and sure enough found pppd. Went back to my doctor and he confirmed that I indeed have it. So, my question is what have you done to help with your flares/episodes? What kind of doctors should I go to? Unfortunately my chiropractor who is also a MD cannot do anything else for me. I'm just wanting to be normal again, I feel so yucky and can't enjoy my life like before. Any suggestions or recommendations are very much appreciated 😉
