Dizziness for 7 months and still going

I woke up one morning to the room spinning and feeling really sick, was unable to walk without holding onto the walls or getting help from someone. Went to the doctors and they said I had vestiblur [vestibular] Neuritius [neuritis] and it should setting down in 6-8 weeks (virus of the inner ear). I began driving again after 2 weeks but still feeling like I was in a dream world. Have been to ear guy and had a MRI and all the other tests but nothing to target only that my hearing in my right ear is damaged. I have been able to live and work ok with an attack about every 2-3 weeks but can still do things. Doctors have told me that it can take some years to settle down or it may never go but you will get used to it over time (great). It does were you down and make you tired and effect what you can do in your leisure activities.
