@kndaustin71 I have been dealing with life altering dizziness for 6 years. It came on somewhat slowly after the first episode of COVID, which was before there was a vaccine. I took the vaccine when available and now I can't say if it was the disease or vaccine. But, I decided it doesn't really matter which it was because I am already affected and can't change it now. I think the vaccine saved millions of lives. But, each day I wake up wishing I could do the things I love, but can't any more. I have decided to keep following the best advice I get and keep learning about what is new and maybe someone will land on a solution. But, even if they don't in my lifetime, I will just try to keep on living my best life even though it isn't the one I would choose.

@kentkemmerling1949
Mine was sudden onset, Jan. 2021. Have you looked up PPPD? My neuro just prescribed venlafaxine which may help, they say. Also, seeing a new PT who specializes in PPPD. Had to give up driving. Grocery stores, social events, etc. So, I do understand. Like you, trying to make the best of what I can.

@kentkemmerling1949 I have recently been diagnosed with NPH. Look up the symptoms. It frequently is a missed diagnosis. Ask your Dr about this.
