You don’t say what the symptoms were, how bad and how much you’ve recovered. I’m happy for you but this seems more like a promotional advertisement .
I broke my arm in 2016. Several months later I noticed my head turning to the left. Plus when I would lay head on my pillow at night it would lift a little. Luckily i found Doctor Bodner my neurologist who diagnosed me with focal distonia. He stated the dystonia came from the fall. I have Botox shots every 4 months and mine has never gotten any worse.
I literally feel the pause at 8:30 and the outburst (drop of tear) of all the mental trauma and emotional rollercoaster that you went through all those days. I'm exactly going through them now 😭 God please save me !!
How did you know at first that it was Labrynthitis and not Meniere's Disease?
The symptom presentation is significantly different in terms of onset, ear pressure and hearing loss.
Where did she experience tingling ?
You say they worked it out immediately .. what did they find out?
We were able to map out specifically which parts of her brain were directly impacted by her injury using advanced neurodiagnostic testing. We designed a rehabilitation strategy for her that was specific to her unique presentation.
With me it started when I was 13 years old. I'm 74 years old. I get botox injections. That's all. It ruined my whole life. I'm from the Netherlands and I guess the doctors here are not as advanced as they are in the States. I wish her neurologist would place some exercise video's on KZread.
Hi Hettie, I am sorry to hear that. I am a Dutch social worker and one of my clients, 75 years old, was just diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia. The neurologist offered to start treatment with Botox injections. We asked for some time to think about this treatment. That's why I am investigating this. It seems the only treatment available in the Netherlands?
Hettie, we work with people from Europe on a regular basis. We see patients from all over the globe. Please set up a consult call with one of our providers and we'll see what we can do to help.
I am like your Past Tense atm
Can you make a video showing your exercises?
I’m crying listening to this as I have had stroke like symptoms my body seizes up and I go stiff I can’t breathe. My abdomen seizes up and I can’t open my diaphragm to take breathe I want to heal and need answers I’m part of a pot’s clinic and get no help. I want to know I can get better ❤️🩹
Please email us at [email protected]. We will set up a consult call and see what we can do to help.
But what is the treatment? Just a 20 minute video of a woman crying.
Were mycotoxins part of the testing and B1?
Not in this case, however mycotoxicity can definitely provoke dysautonomia in people with HLA-DR genotype.
Thank you for coming out with this. Losing and forgetting a sentences and words for me feels like impossible. Very hard to live that way.
Going on 3 years and third neurologist. Why? It’s sad and really there’s no excuse for anyone to have to go through that.
Come back to spend thousands of dollars each time?
I want to be friends with this woman. I feel seen, just listening to her story.
£££££££$
ya what's up with Dr's gaslighting people when they cant come up with a solution to something
hello if i got med-induced dystonia can the treatment also help? thank you @northwestfunctionalneurolo5250
I have had Dystonia for 7 years. This month I walked without help for the first time in those years. Cervical Dystonia is amazingly silent. Tremors gone. I saw a huge change by changing my diet to a carnivore diet. I would encourage others to pursue keto or Carnivore removing all sugar and carbohydrates.
My head shaking till 13 years so can u give any suggestions
Did you get tremors when you moved
Identical to me
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! So happy you could be helped!
Can u lie flat on bed without pillow. I still can't lie flat on floor or on bed. I feel so dizzy. But yes can manage. Exercises and meditation helped me a lot in improving balance and headaches
I had this driving home from work. It was like a light switch and the world was spinning. Luckley pulled over and felt like i was going to pass out someone helped me get ambulance. Tried getting out my van collasped throwing up everywhere couldnt stand up. Blue lighted to hospital they thought id had stroke has i have high blood pressure. In from thursday till saturday end up on stroke ward after all tests then came back as this took me 5 weeks to get my balance back. It was horrible especially the thought of when will this end will i ever be normal again.
Hi there Have you recovery yet? Your story is identical to mine. Collapsed early one morning. Spinning out of control. Vomiting terribly. No speech unable to move my body .spent 7days in stroke unit .didnt improve at all .had the cat scans & mri .ruled out stroke but diagnosed with Vestibular neuritis & bppv also? That was 6 months now and I'm still walking with a crutch / I was bed bound for nearly 2 months an still unable to speak correctly . I'm still having accupuncture & physio for thr VN .trying to stay positive is hard as I guess you know ? Whilst my balance issues are still there ' not as bad as the first few months tho. How is your journey now if you dont mind me asking ? As I read up on this daily from here in uk I wish you well 🙏
@@Lovemy911 hi there, I'm uk aswell. I'm fine now it took around 5 weeks, till I felt normal again. I have heard peoples recovery differs from a couple of weeks to couple of months usually but as with yourself alot longer which is the worrying part when will it go but I just seemed to improve each day is horrible scary experience not know what's happening to you. I can't even say I did or used anything to help relieve symptoms it went naturally. Wish you all the best with your recovery
Happened to me also , I’m 3/4 days in , started day before myself and partner were going on holiday , I woke up to the room spinning at 100mph , I was then vomiting every time I tried to lay down in bed , got some anti sickness tabs and did BPPV exercises and the vertigo has eased massively, although I’m lightheaded and a bit dizzy still . Hopefully see the doctor soon for a diagnosis, I suffer with hearing loss and tinnitus on one side. Sounds like I have the same as you guys…Manchester UK
@@philipbayliss879Thanks for your reply. Glad your recovery went well As you said it's very very hard at first trying to cope etc Regards D
@@gerardregan6937Morning Its truly a terrible experience when it first hits you ' Literally thought I was dying 😮. Sounds like your going thru it too . I have read up on this massively in the last 6 months and I believe with tinnitus & loss of hearing they class it as labyrinthitus/ or menieres disease if I'm correct? If your in hospital I'm guessing theyll put you in touch with ENT specialist. And if needed MRI SCAN to rule out anything else.i had both CT & MRI on head an stomach ' went back for neck scan recently. As my neck has been in agony since.limited movement an the Vestibular migraine coming thru this area into my lower skull. Very cloudy & severe brain fog . is this the same for you too? I know it affects people differently and for varying lengths of time too.im 6months in now and still have zero balance and terrible vertigo. The medication does nothing unfortunately. Walking is still impossible without my wife & my crutches to help me .hence I only leave the house for appointments etc. We pray every day!🙏 Ps I'm in my mid 50s and also uk Midlands. I'd say push your drs/ demand a scan etc.snd try for answers as my experience is even the so called experts seem confused or divided on opinions with Bppv / Vestibular issues etc Hey I wish you well buddy 🙏
Are you still severely symptomatic?
Thank you!
I sustained TBI from a bashing to the head in 2205. I have struggled with seizures ever since & stopped meds in 2012 bcause of s/effects & some drugs were making the seizures worse. I am tying the keto diet.
27 year TBI survivor here from a bad car wreck from 3/31/97... I was in the hospital 26 days and in Physical Therapy 18 months... I struggle with repeating myself,poor multitasking skills,poor short term memory etc... I attempted and failed at several careers-(Special Education Teacher,Car Salesmam,911 Radio Dispatcher)...The combination of TBI issues,PTSD issues and Career Failures led to increased Depression,anxiety and Suicidal Thoughts... I FINALLY have a somewhat decent quality of life now... I FINALLY received SSDI-(Social Security Disability Income) after 15 years,4 appeals and 3 attorneys... I drive for a Car Dealership part time and build model cars part time as a hobby... These activities bring meaning to my life,help me deal with my TBI and PTSD issues,and improve my self esteem...
I am so happy for my Sister, she got cured of her Multiple Sclerosis just few weeks of using Dr Madida Sam herbal supplements.
I have found my hobby of Model Car Building very beneficial to deal with my TBI issues-( And it has given me a substantial boost in my self esteem as well!!)..
I am very limited when it comes to employment... I attempted and failed to become a Special Education Teacher,Car Salesman and a 911 Emergency Dispatcher.... After several years( and tears) of crashing and burning,I now recieve SSDI,Food Stamps,Medicaid,Medicare,and Section 8 Housing and can only work part time driving for a local car dealership...
TBI is one if the most misdiagnosed conditions... TBI is not a "One size fits all" condition... Since 1997,I struggle with repeating myself,anger,frustration,anxiety,depression,and memory.... TBI: Yoy only know it if you live it!!
When this girl can recover ,then i can too.😊

I supposedly have dystonia. My shoulder has been stuck elevated for 5-10 years. I don’t have tremors or head tilt. I have c0-3 fusion. I’m in so much pain on the right side of my neck into scapula.
Feel free to reach out to us and set up a call with one of our providers. This sounds like something we may be able to help.
I have had cervical dystonia four about 5 years and it is horrific!

Thanks for your sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story. It made me not feel so alone. I went through the same thing and almost four years later I am still not back to normal. I hope you are feeling better! You give hope to others. That concussion centre sounds amazing! They need to have them everywhere.

About the Doctors making you feel like your crazy
Michelle, unfortunately an extremely common response from untrained providers is to write off POTS symptoms as being only about anxiety. Our advanced diagnostics let us see exactly what is causing POTS symptoms, and more importantly, shows us exactly what we need to do to help your symptoms resolve. If you are still struggling with POTS, reach out to us at (503) 850-4526 or [email protected]. We will set up a call with one of our providers and see what we can do to help.
I can understand what your saying.😢

I know your pain 🧘🙏
Wow i need this treatment
My POTS and digestive issues responded well to Mestinon (Pyridostigmine). This medication stimulates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system. Pyridostigmine was developed 75 years ago, making it inexpensive since it's off patent. It also has a long track record for safety. Guanfacine/Clonidine further treated my POTS, since I have the hyperadrenergic type of POTS.
