Episode 14 - Recovery Isn’t a Straight Line

Recovery with a chronic illness rarely moves in a straight line. One week you feel stronger, the next you feel like you’ve slid backwards. It can be confusing, discouraging, and make you question whether what you’re doing is actually working.In this episode of The Dizzy Diaries, we unpack the science and reality behind non-linear recovery.We talk about why symptoms can fluctuate, how the nervous system adapts over time, and why setbacks are often part of the process rather than proof that progress has stopped.If your recovery has ever felt like a zig-zag instead of a straight road, this episode is for you.
