Chronic subjective dizziness

I do get dizziness from time to time, I call it my wobbly day. I was diagnosed with Labrynthitis in October 2015 and was hospitalized for 4 days. It was a nightmare! Apparently caused by a virus which has left lasting effects of dizziness, lack of concentration, tinnitus with sometimes pulsing, certain noises (especially bass) can set it off, I have trouble staying focused and sometimes terrible anxiety. I never know when it's going to hit but certainly happens at least a couple of times a week and can last for days. Occasionally it causes nausea, if the symptoms are bad at any particular time I cannot drive and if it is sunny, or dark out shadows become a real problem for me so at times, I need a walking stick or cane since I love to walk. Exercise has been a challenge because my balance is not always optimal. I am also unable to work because I am not dependable if symptoms are an issue on any given day. I most often feel like my head is on a spring, and feels like it bobbles when my foot hits the floor. I was told at first, it may take a few weeks, then a few months, now, no one has any answers for me. Very frustrating. I have heard that someone else that came down with it after me was told that it was linked to Hand and Foot disease, which her two children happened to have when she came down with it. Interestingly enough another lady who came down with it about 2 months after I did, her 2 children also had Hand and Foot as well did my Granddaughter about a week before I came down with Labrynthitis. I've yet to have a doctor confirm it with my diagnosis.

I was diagnosed with the same type of virus in 1997, and I still get many of the same symptoms now and then. I don't have trouble staying focus or nausea, but I do experience the other symptoms, especially pulsing tinnitus (can hear and feel my heart throbbing) and tiredness. I wonder whether it really is linked to hand ad food disease.
