I struggled with balance issues for a year or more, before I adjusted to the dizziness. I still fall over occasionally, usually in the dark or on an uneven surface, but now don't need a walking stick. In my case, I knew the cause (8th cranial nerve damage from too much aminoglycoside), and that I would adjust to it eventually.

I do get tired, really tired, at times, and I'm glad I'm no longer trying to work full time, because I just wasn't coping. My writing career taking off at the same time was one of life's synchronicities.
