Had an inner ear infection like that once. Vertigo and balance was so bad I couldn't walk. Had to go to a doctor every couple of days and get my ear washed out. Very surprised just how much gook could come out of one ear. Finally got rid of it by going to a specialist that rinsed my ear out with creosote (yes like they coat telephone pole with). The rinsed the ear out really well telling me not to try it at home because if any was left in my ear it would eat a hole in my brain.
It had some good parts. one was I found how nice a local pizza place was. On the second day in a row I ordered delivery he asked if I was okay. When i told him about my balance thing he said I could call and order any restaurant or grocery store times I needed and he would pick them up for me. Not just the stuff off their menu. Sure got me as a customer for life.
The other was an amazing trip from OKC to Dallas. Dropped two friends off at the airport, but drove down myself because I couldn't fly due to the ear thing. Had a Jeep Cherokee Limited and got with a Corvette and hot rodded VW Golf and spent most of the drive from OKC to Dallas well above the top speed on the Jeeps speedo of 85mph. Had to drive thru the DFW airport to get to friend we were visiting in Dallas. Called and the friends I had dropped off at the OKC airport had not arrived yet, so stopped at the airline terminal on my way thru. Picked them up as they came out to catch a cab. They were FREAKED at how I could drop them off in one city, they fly to another and there I sat waiting to pick them up.
