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.

Welcome ransa,
Hugs to you
. I don't have any personal experience with those effects, myself. That does not limit my sympathy for you though
!
I had a subdural hematoma caused by my head hitting the ice by a fall 3/07. I was watched closely by neurosurgery, but thankfully did not require a stint afterall. The fall on the ice intensified the side effects of my brain surgery 3/06, and brought seizures back. My experience has been a little dramatic (imo), and has touched every part of my life. That has been the hardest part for me to accept. Acceptance has been a huge struggle for me
!
I therefore do have a slight understanding of your position. Wish you the very best
