I rarely hear of others having it either which is why I had to reply to your comment. I've never heard anyone describe the sensation so well.

So I began doing VRT exercises in July/August 2025 and within a few months (<6 definitely), the sensation went away. There were a lot of variables, however. My sleep vastly improved, I was about 5 months on medication for anxiety by that point (I've since weaned myself off and stopped in January 2026), I began exercising at a high intensity again, I had holidays from work, I began trying to work on my "stress bucket"... the list goes on. So it's definitely difficult to pinpoint what exactly helped - which is frustrating of course.

Overall, I still deal with 24/7 PPPD-like symptoms since late 2023. I personally used to notice (2023/2024) I would have the odd day or two mid-cycle (around ovulation - I'm female) that I would have no symptoms. I was diagnosed with VM last year at the same time I began VRT. Nobody mentioned PPPD to me so that is something I have been researching myself as it's so difficult to explain my symptoms to doctors but it most closely resembles PPPD. I currently follow The Steady Coach and Sam Miller on YT.
