I understand completely what you and others are going through. In short been there-done that. I worked in an office at a great job and then started having problems with balance, typing, walking, talking and wondered what the heck!!
Fortunately I had a great family Doctor who did tests and felt it was MS. The HR manager said "you can't work so you should apply for disability" so I talked to my Doctor about it and he agreed.
I did not even have a diagnosis although I was going through so many tests. I filled out the paper work had my Doctor fill out his report and sent it in.
I got a letter back several months later that my case would be considered if I would see a psychiatrist and I would not be considered if I refused so I made and kept the appointment.
I received my SSDI check for 6 months from date of disability. I was happy to have been approved yet sad that it meant I really was considered disabled.
