It's Official!

ICD 11, the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases, was released today, including within it Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness. It won't change anything necessarily for me or for other PPPD sufferers, but it's a validation of sorts.

Definitely talk to your doctor about it. You don't want him/her to use the diagnosis code for this until you are sure that your insurance will cover it. It may take a few months for them to catch up. But it is a little morale boost to know that this condition is recognized by the World Health Organization.
