00:00 Intro
00:46 People with PPPD, MdDS and vestibular migraine diagnoses can all have variations in how symptoms are affected by motion
02:13 ALL of these patterns of changes of symptoms in response to motion or stillness are brought on by a brain prediction error
03:26 Your brain uses different patterns of prediction based on different environments and situations
04:16 With symptoms that go away with motion, like with MdDS, the brain is predicting motion even when you're still
05:15 Your diagnosis doesn't matter- this is all neural circuit dizziness
06:14 With PPPD and symptoms that get worse with motion, the brain is predicting stillness even when you're moving
07:06 The brain can adapt and use the correct predictions - this will stop symptoms
07:50 Fear, anxiety and stress prevent adaptation
08:20 Our brains make mistakes all the time- this is normal and your brain can adapt
09:00 When brain is in danger mode when symptoms happen, it starts a cycle of danger-fear-symptoms
09:35 These sensations are normal- it's just the degree to which your brain is turning the volume dial up that is causing symptoms
11:19 If you have sensations that get worse or better with passive motion, this can be corrected with correct information and managing stress

Great explanation! Walking is what gives me the most dizziness, and this video makes me think that it's because of all the time I spent running to my bed and just laying there to feel better (when I had migraines, getting off meds, fatigue, etc). Seems my brain thinks bed and stillness is safest! I love your somatic walking exercise and my walking is getting better. I went on a 1.5 hour walk at the dog park yesterday - and didn't keel over when I got home lol!

Great video as always! 😊 My symptoms were worse when walking, WAY worse when sitting/laying still, and then totally fine on a bike, car etc. So random!!
-
I love the way you explain things. So simple and yet so profound. Many thank you's. I will have to think like a computer to process and find the answers to fixing this neural circuit dysfunction.

lying down in bed is just the worst. fear and anxiety provoke symptoms every night. I do deep breathing and lisent to podcasts and then eventually fall asleep. I wake up fine. Crazy and annoying, but I'm getting better at not panicking. Thank you for all your help and all you do. So So helpful. Rehab helps tremendously and talking to yourself consistently.

After having this lightheadedness for about 5 yrs, I found one of the triggers is my depth perception. So at the gym I keep focused on something 6-8 ft on front of me. It helps.

It's weird that I feel different in different places. It's like my brain switches gears of dizziness from when I am at work to when I am at home. 2 different kind of dizzinesses!! Plus I feel fine driving.

I really appreciate your videos. I have been experiencing symptoms of MDDS for almost 2 months after a ferry ride and was in misery. I feel that maybe I am getting a bit better, and your channel is a part of that.

I just want to say as a MdDS sufferer, that I'm so so so grateful to find you.

Excelente explicacion👏.

Great explanation ..thank dr yonit

I always feel a weird sensation after escalator or elevator usage. What I guess: everyone feels a bit off, but my (past) anxiety disorder relates dizzyness with anxiety --> stress --> feeling gets worse. It's all in my head; when I don't do alot of compulsions around symptoms they lessen. That is what I found out

Great video as usual. I am very appreciative of the work that you do. Your explanations are clear and l have been helped by your videos over the past few months. Thankfully, l am far more educated than l was at the beginning of this journey and l am definitely on the mend. Thank you very much.
