This is Part Two of a 2-part series, where Daniela shares her story, if you haven't listened to Part One you may want to start there first. We deal with so many different emotions when experiencing vestibular symptoms; when we are misdiagnosed, or mistreated by the medical system, and even comparing our symptoms, treatments, and how we deal with each obstacle as it's introduced into our lives. Our reactions to the symptoms may vary may that be through guilt, self-pity, anger, feeling like a burden, sadness, or any of the other emotions we all deal with, and yes, we all deal with them very differently. Daniela shares how her behavior and emotions changed when symptoms arrived in her life, she is recovering as a better person. Her story is so relatable. I hope you find that too. . Today Daniela shares her story of working in academia as a college professor when her first bothersome symptom of visual disturbances began.  From there the symptoms only increased in intensity and over time she was finally diagnosed with PPPD (Persistent postural perceptual dizziness); neurovascular dizziness caused by jugular compression and thoracic outlet syndrome, along with third window syndrome from cochlear-facial nerve canal dehiscence.  So many things changed her life, but I will save all the details for her to share with you in this Part 1 of a two-part series.
