How To Treat Dizzy,wobbly Legs?
Dizzy, wobbly legs not really holding me up, looks like a drunk walking around ( I am not drunk) except the wobbly legs lasts about an hour, if I try to carry on as normal as I can. But yesterday that was impossible my legs were too bad to carry on, I sat down, not laid down, passenger in a car after about an hour of sitting down things settled down.

Dear patient. Thank you for your question.
Without a proper physical examination it is very difficult for me to point out what the problem exactly is however I can help you narrow it down
1) Nerve conduction abnormality: Peripheral Nerve degenerations can lead to such symptoms
Diagnosis: Motor Nerve and reflex examination and Nerve conduction test which is diagnostic.
Causes can be Diabetes, Gillan Barre syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis or Myasthenia Gravis.
2) Muscle pathology: Conditions like ALS or Fibromyalgia can result in such symptoms however this is extremely rare and my money is it that is is probably a Nerve degeneration disorder
Again I apologize I could not be of much help however the history you provided was less and a neurological examination in such cases is warranted
