I can't tell you what is best for your situation, but I can tell you that I had to stop working and focus on recovery. I was out of work for three months initially (three months of hell). I went back to work half-time after three months even though I still had intense symptoms. I did it mostly because I didn't know better and because I needed something to make me feel "normal" and not be in the dark room panicking all the time.

But after several months of working a demanding job even at half-time, I realized it was keeping me from making improvements. All of my energy and effort was going to those 4 hours per day I had to work, and then I had nothing left for the vestibular therapy and other things I was supposed to be doing to get better, not to mention quality time for the family. I actually was starting to get worse and not progress, so I knew I had to stop.

For me though, I was lucky because I had work. comp. payments that let me not work and still receive money. I am still not working 7 months later, but making vast improvements health-wise.

I guess we can only say to listen to your gut and your body. If you are having suspicions that work is getting in the way of recovery, it may just be true. I was very nervous about telling my partner that I felt I had to stop working. But after I did, my partner was very grateful because otherwise she would have never known what I needed. It is a serious decision for the whole family, but if you have people that can help you through financially and otherwise, it may be what you need to do.
