How I Recovered From Visual Snow TWICE | Neuroplasticity & MBCT

Can visual snow go away? Short answer: yes - but not necessarily in a linear way. In this video, I'm sharing my full visual snow recovery journey, from my initial diagnosis in 2018 through to getting ~95% better… and then what happened when it came back after Covid. If you've been Googling things like "can visual snow be cured," "visual snow treatment," "does visual snow go away," or "visual snow recovery stories" - this is the video I wish I had when I was in that spiral. I talk through what actually helped me reduce visual snow symptoms like static, afterimages, tinnitus, and oscillopsia as well as my experience joining the official MBCT Vision clinical trial with Dr Sui Wong. This isn't medical advice (just one very determined person figuring things out the hard way), but if you've just been diagnosed with visual snow syndrome and feel like there's no hope… there is. It just might not look how you expect. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction 1:12 How It Started & Symptoms 2:50 Getting a VS Diagnosis (Dr. Mark Weatherall) 3:45 How I Recovered from VSS 5:34 COVID Triggered Relapse 6:11 The MBCT Vision Clinical Trial (Dr. Sui Wong) 8:28 Oscillopsia & Vestibular Physiotherapy (Amanda Male) 10:04 Where I Am Now 10:40 Why Visual Snow Recovery Stories Are Hard to Find 12:05 The Mindset Shift That Helps Most 🔗 LINKS My Visual Snow Recovery Blog Post ▸ https://ailacollins.com/visual-snow-r...

I'm a Cambridge history grad turned corporate dropout ✨ After almost a decade in tech sales, I traded in the "grind" to redesign my life around the things that actually matter to me. Currently, I split my time between my home in London and hopping between apartments from Tokyo to Bangkok as a part-time digital nomad. I'm building a business with zero experience, getting back into creative pursuits, and trying to live more intentionally (less scrolling memes, more actually doing stuff) 👀 Expect candid thoughts on self-development, business, and travel... and come along if you're also trying to build a life that feels like you, or if you just like unfiltered internet humans 🥸 📸 FILMING GEAR Video: iPhone 16 Pro Max + DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Sound: Rode Wireless Micro Editing Software: Descript #VisualSnowRecovery #VisualSnowSyndrome #Oscillopsia #Neurology #neuroplasticity #VisualSnowTreatment
