Symptoms don’t always come from one clear trigger.

It’s often a combination of small things building up over time.

Poor sleep
Stress
Too much visual input
Busy environments

On their own, they might feel manageable.
Together, they can overwhelm your system.

This is often called the “pile-on effect” in conditions like PPPD and vestibular migraine. Understanding your triggers can help you respond earlier and reduce flare-ups.

Today’s the first day of Steps 2 Balance. 🚶‍♀️

This is your chance to get involved in a way that actually feels doable. Walk, swim, run, or move in whatever way works for you.

You can also create a peer-to-peer fundraising page and be part of raising support for the vestibular community. Every step, every share, and every dollar goes toward resources and support for people navigating dizziness.

And if you want a little extra motivation, there are perks this year. Urban Poling is donating poles to select fundraisers, and they’re offering 10% off with a portion of proceeds going back to VeDA. https://urbanpoling.com/urban-poles-and-activators-vestibular-disorders-association-veda/

Showing up, even on the hard days
Pushing through, even when you don’t feel steady

That effort matters more than most people realize

Wishing you a gentle Mother’s Day 🤍

After just 10 days in space, Artemis II astronauts had to relearn how to walk on Earth.

Why?
Because changes in gravity can disrupt the vestibular system, balance, and coordination.

That’s why they go through vestibular and physical rehab when they return.

A powerful reminder that balance isn’t something we think about… until it’s disrupted.

April is Stress Awareness Month, a reminder that mental and physical health are closely connected.

People living with vestibular disorders often experience more than just physical symptoms. Anxiety, depression, and social isolation are common challenges for many individuals navigating dizziness and balance disorders.

Stress can also worsen vestibular symptoms for some people, creating a cycle where dizziness increases stress and stress increases symptoms.

Learning stress management techniques such as relaxation, mindfulness, and other coping strategies can help people better manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.

As spring arrives, weather patterns often shift. Changes in barometric pressure, light, and routine can influence symptoms for some people living with vestibular disorders.

If seasonal transitions feel harder on your body, that experience is valid. Awareness can help with pacing, planning, and self-care as the season changes. 💚
