Hi, great to see you doing so well. This condition is so life changing. I like to hear you say it was a condition you 'had'. Thank you for your upbeat approach. I'm going to tell my son about you as he's in the depths of the awfulness of vestibular migraine and vestibular neuritis. That sword analogy 👍. Choose happiness, choose joy, everyone is searching for hope. Thank God he pulled you through those dark days 🙏 he will use your experiences for good. Jesus is our rock, without him we're lost.
Thank you for your positivity and for making such an uplifting video. Also you're very kind, I read some of your comments below when you were helping a person on here who seemed in dire straits!
Just want to thank you for this video. Honestly thought I’ve found every video out there on vestibular conditions. And came upon yours today. Kind of by chance too. Needed to hear every word you said. So thank you.
Hi Eric, I was thinking about you. My VN was diagnosed in May 2019. Listening to yourself I echo all your views. I’m a happy go lucky person. Feeling great. Having a positive outlook is best way forward. Challenging myself to tasks. Started running again. Feel fabulous. Happy 2021.
Thank you very much for your care and kind words. I hope you continue to stay positive as well. This all is a mindset. As lo bf as I get sleep and stay positive I feel great! Stay strong and stay happy!
Hey Eric sorry to disturb u again but I feel my symptoms get triggered in flight feels like heaviness and something is moving inside my brain depersonalised feeling so all these thing happened to u when u was ill?
Hi, my vestibular neuritis crysis actually started like that. Like falling inside of my head. It was totally terrifying. After that I would stay dizzy/feeling pressure in my head all day long.
@@MindyParker my VN crysis lasted all of 2020 since the end of February due to been misdiagnosed in the middle of the pandemic, I was pretty much 90% normal by February 2021. I had a short relapse in August of 2021 caused by the covid vaccine. How are you doing today?
@marcomoscoso7402 I'm a lot better infant I'm about 100%! I worry it'll come back. Ironically mine happened 2 weeks after covid vaccine also. Would you say today you are back to normal? How long have you been better and stayed better? And how long did your short relapse last?
@@MindyParker I'm so glad for you! That relapse lasted for like 4 months but I think mostly because I didn't give up on alcohol and that made me had mini relapses I had to go through. That was 2021. Now in december 2022, unfortunately I got a very bad strep throat and I relapsed badly again. I'm still recovering from that, but overall I would say I'm in a solid 80%. Just some really bad motion sickness while I'm in a car and insomnia/fatigue.
What did you do to get better? Can you show us some of the exercises you did? Also. how did you get the diagnose? I went to see an ear doctor and a neurologist and non of them gave me a diagnose and my symptoms are very much like yours. The neuro said I have migraine, because I have daily headaches and, of course, he gave me pills to take (2 migraine pills every night for 4 months) and the ear doctor said I might have an imbalance between the two ears and told me I could benefit from vestibular exercises.
You want the best advice? Stop going to the "traditional" doctors. They know nothing. They are merely glorified drug dealers. Check into functional neurology.
@@ericfixler I spoke with a lot of people that took Effexor and many said they had a hard time getting out off it. Terrible withdrawals. My doctor wants me to take the 37.5mg. I don't think I will. Did you experienced the Allice wonderland syndrome? Where you see things bigger then they are or smaller than they are or too close or too far?
Hi. Do you think vestibular neuritis is more temporary than vestibular migraine? At first I thought I had neuritis but it has been 6 months and I have not had one single day without brain fog/derealization. Do you have these symptoms? I’ve been nearly bed ridden this whole time with a bunch of crazy and scary symptoms. This all started back in may when I went on a road trip. I think it had something to do with the air pressure change
It just depends VN seems to be but you will have random bouts with it most likely for many years but only mainly when you’re not sleeping and tired. Hope you start feeling better!
@@ericfixler i have vestibular migraine iv got intense depersonalization with it, will the depersonalization go away or not? Im absolutely sick to death
When I focus my vision on an object, the background splits in two. That is normal. However, I am aware of that and I feel dizzy. I never being aware of the background like this and it never bothered me. I also have daily headaches.
Dude try b2 vitamins! They work ! They are A prevention med ... stops migraines 👍 and this is gonna sound strange but...take your shoes of and find a hill or get some sort of ramp and walk up and down about 10x Each, first down normally then walk backwards down the ramp/hill then if you feel comfortable with it walk down while closing your eyes then do it backwards and engage all your feelings like the bottom of your feet your arch, your calf’s your toes etc...if you stick with it you will see change! When doing this please get someone to watch you when you walk backwards and when you close your eyes...good luck
@@JIMMYJREVIEWS_thaiM-A-F-I-A Good morning. Those exercises are for balance? I don't have balance problems. I will definitely try the B2 vitamins for the headaches. What dose show it be? 200mg or 400mg? Thanks man.
It’s dependent on sleep and a set routine that over time will work in your favor. Look up the rock steady program and watch her videos. Sleep is the biggest helper. Practice VRT and start working out. Get on a pill like Effexor at least at 50mg eventually and you will see overtime it all makes that go away. Seriously.

My pleasure, I pray your son finds healing and in time He will. This I’ll was will create strength in him he never thought he had.

Thank you Natty!
Awesome video!!! Thank you for the encouragement.

My pleasure, be strong Dianne. Whatever you’re going through pales in comparison to your resilience to rise above it. 😊

Not feeling good 3 weeks 😭but thank you for this help me get through this🙏

Yea a lot of the feelings you get are subjective but ultimately yes I know what you mean and I did have symptoms similar yes.
Did you experience the dropping sensation? Like the feeling like you fall for a split second in your head

@@marcomoscoso7402 how long did it last and did it completely go away

I feel you 🤗
In it together. But I’m also better now. Thank God!
@@ericfixler awesome🤗
Thank you for the update..i am planning to fly in the next 3 weeks..thank you for letting me know what might happen
Also is there a diet your sticking to?

I would practice grounding balance techniques and VRT you can also get on a pill like Effexor which can help. You need at least 75mg.

@@ericfixler How did you feel when taking Effexor? Was the coming off hard? Did you have withdrawals?
@@ericfixler Did you have withdraws when coming out of the Effexor?
post more pls these help so much
Are you still on Effexor? Thank you for the positivity on this video!
Yes I am! And thank you!
Are you going to get vaccinated? If you have, did it worsen your condition?

I have VN but both can mimic each other. Effexor and VRT help a ton and make you feel normal over time. Be strong!
It just depends VN seems to be but you will have random bouts with it most likely for many years but only mainly when you’re not sleeping and tired. Hope you start feeling better!
@@ericfixler i have vestibular migraine iv got intense depersonalization with it, will the depersonalization go away or not? Im absolutely sick to death
What made the depersonalization go away how long did it take and what did they call your vestibular disorder
Hiii Eric just wanted to know at which month u feel that ur normal again
I had my first break of feeling better after like 3 months then I would go in and out for like a year or more
So your depersonalization and deralization completely went away?
hello wanted to ask you had vestibular neuritis
Have you had one side head pressure?
Yes you’ll experience that from time to time.
When I focus my vision on an object, the background splits in two. That is normal. However, I am aware of that and I feel dizzy. I never being aware of the background like this and it never bothered me. I also have daily headaches.
I’m sorry you have the daily headaches! The dizziness can be battled with grounding techniques in my experience.
@@ericfixler You never had headaches during your vestibular migraine?
Marcos Carajol I did sometimes but not often.

Consult your doctor about Effexor and med options.
@@ericfixler will this depersonalization definitely go away even if the migraines don't go
@@laurenbaldwin6068 if you mean the internal off dizzy feeling yes that will go away.
@@ericfixler i mean will the depersonalization go away? The detachment feeling from my own body DPDR im absolutely fed up
