Were you stressed / burnt out when MAV hit?

I voted no. It was a vague virus and mild ear infection that started my vm.

I wouldnt say I was stressed or burnt out either. I do however have several chronic health issues, Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility syndrome, hypothyroid and Low B12. Whether any or all of the above have predisposed me to balance issues now, because you know I dont have enough to contend with apparently, I dont suppose I’ll ever know.

Its what makes me think the PPPD criteria is a crock, because its strongly linked with anxiety and depression, and I certainly had neither when I started feeling unbalanced. 7 months later however, I hold my hands up.

I voted no. I can find no direct trigger from stress, foods, or environment. I recently started the migraine diet exclusions and taking magnesium. This seems to have helped as I have been vertigo free for three weeks. I will hold off on a final judgment, as I have had longer good periods in the past only to be walloped with a severe vertigo attack seemingly out of the blue.

Wow that’s a good analogy.
