Two vertigo attacks a week. Crawling to the bathroom. Stressed and worried.
I tried everything: physio, a condescending TMJ dentist, a chiropractor, an osteopath, high-dose medication every single day. I even got Xanax from the ER. At one point I had a steroid injection into my ear on the calendar because I was out of options.
None of it was enough.
What actually changed it was a NUCCA chiropractor I found through a random Facebook group, and a female dental surgeon who treated the trigger points every other doctor refused to touch.
That was years ago. I haven't had a full attack since.
But I want to be real with you: it's not a clean before/after. I still manage it. Last night I felt that edge of fear creep back in after an osteo appointment. I didn't spiral. But I remembered.
The journey isn't over. And that's okay.
I'm telling you this because I know some of you are in the middle of something hard. A body that feels like it's failing you. Practitioners who aren't listening. A plan that isn't working.
Keep going. Keep asking questions. Find people who actually hear you.
You are not stuck. I'm proof of that.
Save this if it helped. Share it if you know someone who needs it. And drop a 𫶠below... let's support each other.
