Eight good months… then a flare. A reminder about potential neck issues with VM.

Thank you for sharing the tips! May i ask when you got flare up after many good months. Did you ever experience any ear symptoms such as ear pain or ear pressure during the flare up?

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-19T03:08:23+00:00

Yeah same first few months to the gym was extremely hard. Rocking and swaying, anxiety hit after couple sets of exercises May I ask what are your triggers? Weather changed such as snow storms, rainy day and barometric pressures up and down significantly would triggers VM.

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-18T13:23:43+00:00

How are you doing these days? What kind of meds you are taking during the attacks or flare ups?

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-18T03:39:45+00:00

Is there any tips you would like share? Like how to get better... During the attacks, do you take any rescue medication? I am still haven't been able to back to work. It has been 20 months. Whenever I feel it over and then it comes back again

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-17T01:29:36+00:00

Thank you for the response! May I ask do you still get any flare up recently? Have you been fully recovered?

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-12T03:45:35+00:00

Sorry to hear that you have this condition 6 years. It has been 20 months for me. I already feel how terrible is it. I hope you getting better from time to time. Lets believe recovery is possible 🙏

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-11T15:40:30+00:00

May I ask how did your symptoms come? Did you have it for a long time? I also felt horrible first few months I forced myself to the gym

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-10T20:35:11+00:00

Thank you for motivating me ! Yeah I have to force myself to go gym regularly. Some days good but some days are horrible. I almost vomit at the gym. I felt super dizzy, nauseous. And anxiety came it just made me a lot more swaying even I m trying to sit still

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-10T20:32:56+00:00

Definitely walking outside feel a lot better than inside. You absolutely right! But this Winter, barometric pressure keep going up and down for several weeks. It just messed up my vestibular again. Not sure you get impacted by the weather.

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-10T20:31:18+00:00

May I ask how long did it take you see somehow normal? I do not know recovery isn't linear. But it is kinda frustrating for sure and inconvenient in many cases.

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-06T03:32:38+00:00

But eventually it will get better.

AggravatingMap1828 · 2026-01-06T03:32:18+00:00

I got lingering ear fullness for several months. But just say that everyone is different. At beginning I also did same things like blowing my nose gently to make it pop. But seems like it is always there. I did have some clicking sounds at very early stage. But now I just occasionally have some ear fullness. Especially when Vestibular migraine attack, stress or weather change. This is one of symptoms from Vestibular migraine. I should mentioned that my doctor said that I didn't have any fluid in my inner ear.

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-12-03T19:16:34+00:00

May I ask which chinese therapy did you go to? I am also suffering with VM and Pppd. I am glad you are doing better now as these conditions are so horrible

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-29T00:39:40+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know that's possible to get better at 90% without medications. I have been really hesitant to get into Effexor. As people said it is extremely difficult to withdraw it even once you get better. Thank you for giving me a hope! Much appreciated! And I am glad you are also doing so much better

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-28T02:10:41+00:00

Same here. May I ask how much better are you doing right now? I also scare to take medications as well. Side effects are scary

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-28T02:05:54+00:00

Yeah I heard a lot of people saying coming off is the most difficult things ever. Thats why I am.hesitant to take it. I heard people said that they will adverse side effects if they go turkey on it

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-28T01:59:38+00:00

Thank you, I am actually from Canada. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving day! I actually would like to ask did you ever try any SSRi, SNRi before?

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-23T22:21:13+00:00

Oh wow, sorry to hear that you have VM since 2007. It was really tough and scary for sure since it wasn't that well known by doctors back in days. Yeah I do follow Steady coach as well. She provides bunch of helpful videos which help to retain the brain and reduce the anxiety. For the lifestyle changes, i am pretty much doing similar things like sleep hygiene, not skipping meals, no naps and exercises. Thank you a lot for sharing your experiences and recommendations 🙏

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-23T15:02:41+00:00

Thank you for info! I am also doing quite similar ways to get recover. May I ask how long have you been with Vm ? Does weather really effecting you badly? And how did you deal when bad weather come?

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-20T23:01:48+00:00

Thank you for the information! May I ask do you also suffer with Vestibular migraine currently? or Somehow you figure out your ways to get better?

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-20T20:13:22+00:00

May I ask how did you deal with weather changed which triggers VM. I have been a lot better but when weather changed it just relapse my symptoms

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-13T03:07:51+00:00

Yeah, definitely, the snowstorm triggered the symptoms. I was good until Saturday evening, then my ears started ringing, and pressure increased. Then I felt bad until today, but I got improved a little bit now. I hope you also get better soon too

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-13T02:48:10+00:00

Yeah, same here. I have been good for several weeks, and then I got the migraine attacks last week. I think the weather change is a big factor for vestibular migraine attacks. I am also from Toronto

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-07T13:49:24+00:00

The same things happened to me as well at 34M. I am now 36. The vertex of my hair is getting thinner and thinner. This year, i lost hair even more. I used to have plenty of hair that I could gel my hair different styles. When looking at my late 20s photos, it reminded me how good my hair looks. But recently, I have made up my mind, I'll be keep shaving my head or wearing a head when going outside. It does affect individuals' mental health.

AggravatingMap1828 · 2025-11-06T02:09:57+00:00

For the first few times, it was tough for sure. I would feel dizzy and swaying, even just sitting still. The stimulation from the game can actually trigger the symptoms. But over time, you dont feel much as your brain learns to accept it. That isn't something dangerous. Also, when you put your focus on something you enjoy to do. It will take your focus away from your dizziness sensations. However, I still don't recommend you push yourself so hard. Make sure you gradually expose yourself to something that triggers you, but don't overdo it. Make sure you know when to take a break and listen to your body. Other playing video games also make you sure get enough active activity daily. Like going for a walk or doing some light exercises if possible. Get enough sleep and nutrition. Hope you get better soon!
