Default vestibular disorder from traumatic brain injury

Hello People, I was the pedestrian victim of a hit-and-run incident which caused sub-arachnoid and sub-dural hemotomas detected by CT scans taken while my GCS was 3 for more than 24 hours. That was more than a year ago. To date, I experience balance and proprioception issues. The biggest problem is when I stand with my eyes closed I tremble and shake increasingly more violently untill I fall. (I'm hoping teenagers don't invent a new dance named after me...) I have been told I should not drive, and am not employable at this time ( except as a "medical specimen"...no future there ) Has anyone here any experience with this? I understand each case is different, I would like to know how long someone else has had to endure something like this. Any knowledge or experience to share is appreciated. Thank you.
