Hi Steve! Well done for the achievements! Hope you get 100% symptoms free soon. Would you mind sharing a little bit about your experience with councelling/therapy? Where can we find a good therapist in the UK, especially one accustomed with PPPD psychology stuff

Hi Alex just gota get over this flu first then I’ll crack on and I’ll do my best and one day I WILL recover! My psychiatrist is called Orla I’ll post her website below! For me it was CBT mainly learning to see and experience things differently, allowing trapped emotions and stress away from my body. Not focusing on my symptoms and how to deal with panic attacks better! She’s been brilliant and easy to talk to! Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to get help as it’s really worth it! www.orlacounselling.co.uk

@@steveslong-covidjourneyPPPD Hi Steve, forgot to ask, did you get your diagnosis via the NHS or privately? Is it worth going through the NHS GP with PPPD? I doubt most of them know about the matter fully

@@alexdiaconu7979 no problem I’m here to ask anything on your healing journey and will answer what I can! Tbh the NHS wasn’t great, the Audiologists did all the tests so I’m grateful for that as it came back with no problems! I had private insurance with Bupa and saw Neurologists, chiropractors, Orthopaedics, physios etc had an MRI on neck and head and all ok! Think the best person to see is a physiotherapist that either specialises in PPPD or does somatic therapy. I visited Roger Duckworth and he was inspirational and knew all about chronic pain and dizziness and helped me understand the body, mind connection along with the nervous system! Acceptance is a big deal with this and it will set u on your journey!

Hi Steve, Happy New Year to you and your family! Really good to hear you are feeling you’re finally getting somewhere. You’re even looking better! I still have the dropping sensation, assume it’s still anxiety? Good luck with the increase over the weekend. Hope all goes ok 😊

Thanks Julie, yeah I guess it’s still the anxiety side making quick rash decisions for me, it’s then where I need to tell my brain and nervous system I’m ok until it learns! How you feeling? Any progress?

Started Noritriptyline yesterday as I have PPPD and VM. Therapist thinks it may help with both, so giving it ago. Still unsure, but I can always change to Sertraline if nothing improves. Obviously early days. Hope your weeks been ok and you have a good weekend 😊
