@joybo99 I too have pppd for 4 years now. It's always present when I'm on my feet. It has really changed my life and I've become more isolated. An ENT diagnosed me but most other specialists aren't even familiar with it and not. sure how to treat it.

@joybo99 Oh, that's so unfortunate. May I please ask if your dizziness and imbalance started with an inner ear condition and did you feel as though your head was congested? I don't have vertigo but terrible imbalance and it comes and goes. I was treated by an ENT with steroid injections in my ear and now using a nasal spray bottle with saline solution and liquid steroids for nasal passages and head fullness. Seems to help a bit but still have daily bouts of unsteadiness to the point I am fearful driving anywhere by myself. I am an independent person so this is clearly affecting me big time though I try to stay positive to believe that it will pass in time. Just curious if you presented with the same type issues when this diagnosis was given to you. Thank you!
