The worst thing for me at the time before I knew about this however was being told that it is “all in my head” which frustrated me until I heard of this. Hope your recovery is going well.
Thank you for the inspiring story, I had meningitis about year ago, I went deaf in my right ear, I just got 45% in my left, I woke up after coma, n couldn't move, it's been long year. I'm just as dizzy today as I was when I came home- from hospital, good luck buddy, I hope ur 100% soon.
I know you mentioned in your previous video about pretty much learning how to walk again. I feel like I sort of still struggle with that. & walking side or walking at like an angle gets me. What kins of videos did you watch for that? Or any other tips? Please I’m just trying to do everything I can I feel like I keep commenting on all your videos lol!
What helped my migraines and eye strain with computers was switching back to an old CRT monitor. I know it sounds weird but it was instant relief. A neuro optometrist suggested this so I thought I’d pass that on. The glasses help too.
Yes.. go through my videos and I give exercises. See if any of them resonate with you. Most of mine were visual and I feel they’re almost fully recovered
I get migraines frequently and find working on a computer and looking at electronic devices all day contributes a lot to them. I have some cheap blue light glasses off Amazon but I think I'll give these a try!
Hi. I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but if you can write something encouraging, I'd be really grateful. I've had unilateral vestibular hypofunction for 2 months. I do the exercises every day, and I've bought a balance ball too. There's a 24% decrease in one ear (vestibular nerve), and they don't know the exact cause. So far, my situation hasn't improved much, and I'm under a lot of stress because of it, struggling with university as well. I'm 22 years old. I experience oscillopsia, mild nystagmus, fatigue, and dizziness when I move my head, along with brain fog. It's really hard to stay persistent, and I don't know when I'll feel better. They haven't given me any medication. Your videos help me a lot, but right now, I feel really bad.
You are an inspiring, strong person! I am a 19-year-old boy and have had this for almost 4 weeks now. Thank you so much for your videos and for everything you share! The symptoms fit perfectly and especially working on a computer makes things worse. I have ordered the glasses but wonder if I should shorten the screen time and whether it will help the symptoms. Thank you again!
Hi Sean. Did you recover completely, or does it flare up for you sometimes? I'm 3 weeks in and trying my best to stay positive but this has completely changed my life.
Sean can you please give us an update on your progress and some more inspiring videos..please.. This is so hard.. At times you just feel like you want to give up..😢
Hi Sean. I haven't popped on here in a while, but I'm glad I did. I use F.lux on my computer and I have an array of glasses too (including theraspecs). I'm kind of curious what your neurologist has suggested? Like you, I had a confirmed vestibular weakness from a virus, but although I'm basically 99% better I have had 2 flare ups over the last two years that end up taking a month or two to resolve. I'm seeing another neurologist bc this last time a doctor suggested I take amitriptyline and it seemed to help resolve the dizzy/imbalance/visual reliance in 2-3 weeks. Anyway, it's all weird and as you mentioned a jumble of stuff that no medical doctor really fully understands. But it's clearly a visual thing and light sensitivity that persists. I find I always need sunglasses outside now, otherwise I get a few little floaters in my vision. Though I will say, I'm still taking a low dose, 10 mg of amitriptyline, and I think the visual sensitivity has improved (and I've only taken it 3 weeks).
Hey there.. my neurologist said it was just anxiety lol. But then i through out some potential diagnosis's and he said "could be". To be honest, most of my visual issues have improved overtime
Did you ever get an MRI on your inner ear canal? I got one, and they found a small benign tumor that was pressing on the vestibular nerve, and it was the pressure that caused the imbalance. I had the tumor irradiated to shrink it and relieve the pressure.
I have light sensitivity too. But I was wondering if you experienced this symptom where when someone points there finger or maybe points a finger and it makes your eyes hurt. I didn’t know if this was a symptom from the balance issue.
Hey Sean, how ya feeling these days? I got diagnosed woth Vestibular Neuritis about a month and a half ago. Ive got much better at all the PT they have me do but still seem to he persistently "dizzy" im curious how long it took you to feel better and if you do now
I've always got better after the first nine months and it was mostly an upward trajectory. Some ups and downs along the way. It's been 5 years and I'm fine and doing everything normal. I'm not exactly 100% but it sure feels like it from where I was
@@seanpangs7131 Thanks for the response Sean, I really appreciate it. I was one a solid upward trend for about 3-4 weeks. Then out of nowhere the past week has really brought me backwards. I preform my PY exercises great but I constantly feel the "dizziness" Much more again. Of course my Dr. is on his honeymoon... It has me concerned something else is going on
Hi there I was just wondering how you were doing with your vestibular symptoms I haven’t seen you post in a while were are you able to find More relief from your symptoms and if so what are you doing that is helping now thanks!
Hey there, I'm doing good- just kinda living life regularly now, with very minimal problems. Basically I go on daily walks on my lunch time and still do eye exercises for maintenance before bed. Hope you're well.
@@kimg2022 no prob, I've been holding off making a new video but your comment has inspired me to do an update one to let people know I'm better. Thank you
No they don't make things zoomed in. Primarily they help me with computer work/headaches/fatigue, not sure how they'd help with driving. I could wear normal glasses driving
@@Who-cu9eu I have.. not as good as FL41 glasses. Also, check into a company called Payne glasses. Message them via chat on how to order FL41 glasses (they don't advertise it on the site) I got prescription ones for like $50ish CAD
@@seanpangs7131 There’s a chart on the Theraspecs website which compares Gunnar to Theraspecs but the picture doesn’t explain which lense colour that Theraspecs is meant to be comparing too
Its interesting I do my vor excercises outside and found wearing polarised glasses gave me more stable vision,dont know why....I'm 3yrs in,mine was a central vistibular problem, and have found the balancing with closed eyes on foam block very helpful...I feel like in another year I might be as good as I get,was wondering if you feel back to normal by now ?

They changed everything for me with regards to computer screens. It was my biggest “trigger” and thanks to these it’s so much better now
In the same boat!! I just got them today. Computer screens and TV trigger me so much, how long did it take you to notice changes?

I do love my Thera specks and they are a game changer..
I’m definitely going to try these. I’m also light sensitive & migraines. Thanks!
They're worth it :)

Hello! I’ve been getting migraines more frequently lately and have been looking into better options for reducing symptoms. These look great!
Light sensitivity is REAL. It's good to find others with photophobia.
Yh it’s rare to see people in public wear fl 41 glasses people always give me weird looks in public wearing em

Yeah they helped me between 15-20% better than normal blue light glasses

Thanks for reaching out. Computers definitely aggravated the symptoms but it’s very manageable now. Reducing screen time will help for sure
Hi Sean. Did you recover completely, or does it flare up for you sometimes? I'm 3 weeks in and trying my best to stay positive but this has completely changed my life.
Recovered around 95%, which to me seems like completely. Ppl recover at different rates, stay strong and continue to be as active as possible
Please make another video. Would love to see where you are at!
I'm doing well, back to normal!

I have been using a blindfold just to walk around my room. I'm hoping I can use something like this thar is more practical. Thank you for the review!
Absolutely! I felt that method worked for me too
There are multiple versions on the site. Do you have a link to these specifically
I have light sensitivity too. But I was wondering if you experienced this symptom where when someone points there finger or maybe points a finger and it makes your eyes hurt. I didn’t know if this was a symptom from the balance issue.

not too long at all.. 3-4 days tops!
