Oh your rehab lady as you call her hit it on the nose.

Its called central abnormalities and there is help for this. It will take a while but the neurologist if he does work in the balance and vertigo area can do some testing to prove it. Or he can send you to a physical therapist that specializes in vestibular physical therapy. Thats what I've been doing and
its helping me emensely. But I have other issues and I had them before my
accident too. But it could have happened just after.

I also can't walk a straight line.
I can't walk a aisle in a grocery store without feeling dizzy to a degree.
I get vertigo or dizzy if the floor moves in a place I'm in or I think it is.
I don't like bridges, heights or things that make me think I'm going to
fall.

I can't even explain it all. Before my therapy and in the first weeks of
my therapy I couldn't have made sense in this at all.

Or even looked at a B and did my exercises. But now I can do lots of these
things. And its also helping strengthen my body.
