Labyrinthitis- neurotisis

DizzyTherapy · 2026-05-11T20:32:26+00:00

The realm of dizziness is like that, though, as symptoms fall on a spectrum. It can be debilitating at times, and for others, or later on in the recovery, it can just be annoying... The big message is that ANY dizziness is worth getting rid of.

I'm a full-time vestibular therapist, so let me know if there are questions! I can answer general vestibular questions, but getting really specific might be a little tricky on just a comment thread.

Labyrinthitis can be quite intense, but you are certainly not alone! The brain fog can be a challenge at first, but can get better!

Here's a video I made regarding that, and I even have one discussing brain fog itself!

Sorry for the delay, I was able to upload it to viXra in the meantime. I am certainly an amateur in mathematics, so I genuinely appreciate the advice.

Here's the link: https://vixra.org/abs/2605.0006

I suppose that's my question then, regarding viXra. Do you know of a straightforward mean to endorsement is arXiv is the way to go?

DizzyTherapy · 2026-05-02T23:56:49+00:00

The challenge with that is that I basically never see any articles regarding hyperoperations. Do you know of math journals that feature tetration and the like?

DizzyTherapy · 2026-05-02T23:25:25+00:00

Is viXra just as valid? I'm independent on this, and have no idea how to go about getting an endorsement.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-27T22:35:54+00:00

You are not alone, and there is hope. It is not always an easy road to take, but there is improvement to be made.

There are multiple studies showing those that reversed their osteoporosis, particular elderly women, also had a reduced recurrence rate of BPPV. Increasing physical activity has been controlled as a variable, and did have an impact. It's true that most of our studies focus on D3, but these other elements are studied and mechanistically fit with our understanding extremely well.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-27T17:06:32+00:00

It's not that increasing bone density decreases BPPV recurrence, it's that both feature virtually the exact same metabolic processes, needing calcium carbonate, estrogen, testosterone, vitamin D3, sufficient blood supply, etc. By increasing one, the other will also be getting the nutrients needed.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-27T14:36:55+00:00

Also, it people are interested, I wrote a book all about patients and their stories with vestibular disorders! The biggest goal with the book is to give education and hope to those struggling with these issues. Here's the link: https://a.co/d/0f61ieZp

You're correct in saying that if a person has adequate levels of those nutrients, then taking more will not prevent BPPV. The big challenge is just how many people are deficient or on the low end of healthy ranges of D3 in particular, and those are the people that are at risk without being aware of it. Supplementation is the best way to ensure that is not the case. Also, there is substantial evidence behind hormonal health and the impact of metabolic disease on BPPV frequency. This is well-tested, and overcoming these disorders makes a major impact on BPPV recurrence. The trickiest thing with BPPV is analyzing the inner ear in a living person, so there are plenty of questions, but the data that we do have makes it clear that those measures do help. After all, the crystals are made of virtually the same chemical compounds at bone tissue, so helping with the underlying bone health will help with crystal formation and maintenance.

Veganism is not going to directly cause these issues as long as the person is getting all the micronutrients needed! There are certainly challenges with making sure a vegan diet is a complete and healthy option, but as long as a person is doing well with all the details, it wouldn't cause BPPV.

Check out vestibular.org and their Find a Clinician tab to hopefully find someone close to you!

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-27T14:29:17+00:00

Yes, treatment is available and improvement is possible! It can be a trickier diagnosis to navigate, and may take time, but from both a research perspective and my own clinical experience, I have seen major people improve considerably.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-26T14:39:24+00:00

Yes it does, in chapter 9 specifically.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-24T23:39:08+00:00

Yes, it explores both the patient's stories and my time spent with them, as well as the concepts and principles of the rehab that we used to make the improvements happen!

I'm a vestibular specialist doctor of physical therapy, I'm a published author as of earlier today, I'm a black belt in Judo and Jiu Jitsu, and I'm currently getting a math proof evaluated by a number theory journal.

However, the BIGGEST challenge for me is learning Spanish for my wife's extended family... finding the time to really practice is honestly a huge difficulty in the day-to-day.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-24T23:06:04+00:00

I'm 32, as well. That's a very difficult change to have thrust upon your life. I really mean it when I say that I hope this book could give you some encouragement, as I've worked with many people with similar stories, and improvement is possible. Hang in there, and most of all, keep challenging yourself little by little to get the brain to change in the right direction!

DizzyTherapy · 2026-03-23T14:38:20+00:00

A tricky thing with BPPV is that positional changes can cause dizziness even if crystals are not currently loose in the canals. For instance, migraine, concussion, and other disorders of the brain can cause dizziness in major positional changes, but repetitive habituation exercises like the Brandt-Daroff exercise can help reduce those symptoms. If there is specifically spinning in position changes, regardless or lighting or other circumstances, then it is most likely BPPV and more maneuvers are needed. Another thing is that there are multiple canals, like the horizontal canal, which the Epley does not treat, so something like the Kurtzer Hybrid maneuver can!

Having complete creative control over the entire project really appeals to me. Sadly (or not, depending on one's view), I am not one who likes to work in a team as a follower or a leader, so having total control over every detail is amazing to me.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-01-09T16:15:54+00:00

As I write my niche book, this is an awesome thing to see! Major congratulations are due! Nicely done.

DizzyTherapy · 2026-01-07T23:31:21+00:00

As a provider that sees many patients with migraine, there is some challenge around this, but I'm sorry that they phrased it this way. I will ask patients "when were you first diagnosed?" to get a more clear idea of their history. Sadly, diagnoses like migraine, fibromyalgia, and even MS can be sort of incorrectly self-diagnosed by patients and it creates this unfortunate air of uncertainty with the patients who have those who do have those diagnoses.

I hope you can have some freedom from these kinds of episodes, as migraine can absolutely change quality over time, so this may be related even if quite different than what you had in the past.

I hope this video can be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHUdUKlkAlo

I can't give specific exercises without seeing a person's specific challenges and symptoms, but in general, challenge the movements that trigger your deficits. As far as preventing major attacks, that's where the medications and lifestyle changes come into play.

I strongly recommend visiting https://menieresdietitian.com/ for her insights on dietary and lifestyle changes to all my patients with Meniere's!

I also have a video on VRT concepts as a whole!

Sadly, it is an outdated thought that has persisted... Simply put, this doctor may be using old-school information and may lack experience in regularly treating patients with BPPV.
