Thank you all for your replies, they are very helpful. I feel like for some reason the vertigo is the hardest symptom to get used to, maybe because it is more unsettling rather than just pain, which I am pretty good at tolerating. I will heed the advice about taking more breaks when I get stirred up, and looking into Tai-Chi and other balance exercises like yoga. I am also going to look into treating my anxiety, since that is probably not helping me cope with any of this!
