Gosh. To be honest, I know now (6 yrs post injury) that I started driving again way too soon. At the time I thought I was fine, but self awareness is part of many (my) tbi/pcs deficits. About 2 years post injury I reflected on how far I'd come in recovery realizing to my horror that I put lives at risk by driving before I was truly ready. I discovered a problem with night driving vision so I avoided that, but continued daytime driving. However, nobody told me I could or could not drive after 3 months. My suggestion would be to train for a new job when you're ready, but only you can make that decision.

I was a webmaster and am now disability retired because I couldn't do my job anymore. We're all different. In my case memory issues are a stumbling block to learning a new career. It takes time to know what you can or might not YET be able to do. Change is the constant.

Regarding the dizziness - the first 6 months I was dizzy even laying down with my eyes closed. So miserable. Nausea meds helped. Later on the doc determined mine was/is not vestibular - it was due to proprioception, motion and the visual center in my brain. Just know there are other causes for dizziness with different treatments so there are other options if one doesn't seem to be working. Also, determining if you feel off balance vs you or the room spinning helps diagnose the cause.

I wish you all the best.
