Symptoms of PPPD

[GrEeNbEeNs]

Hi I have been diagnosed with PPPD the dizziness is driving me crazy and my memory and concentration has got worse,what I was wanting to know is if anybody who has suffered from this ever feel like they have got no patients and a bit aggressive.I feel as though i,m going mad I didn't feel like this until I took PPPD

As far as I can tell the symptoms associated with the PPPD label (which a lot of doctors don't think is a viable diagnosis because it is just a descriptive term - and apparently they are planning to drop the 'postural' part) often come hand in hand with vestibular migraine so irritability and loss of patience may be part of that. Here's a good paper about Vestibular Migraine which mentions PPPD and I thought the authors' comments about FND were timely and apt.

DOI: 10.1097/WCO.0000000000001257 (you may have to copy and paste the doi to find the paper)

The cog fog is horrible, I know, and I found it helpful to understand why it happens (and have my doctor understand that, too) and there is good information out there about cognitive vestibular interactions (eg on VeDA's site). Changing medications or taking new ones can also contribute to cog fog so it's worth discussing this with your doctor if that's the case, for you.

Your just getting distressed and caught in a loop.

Try not to be too hard on yourself, we all forget things and FND symptoms can be overwhelming at times.
