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.

Snoodles, get those papers and start working on them! I am probable MS and got SSD. You don't get it due to a diagnosis, you get it due to the symptoms. And it sounds like you have some profound symptoms. Be prepared to be denied, that's what the government likes to do. But after the second denial you get to have your say in court. Just remember, you can't be working and apply. There is a great SSD forum here, just go to the drop down menu and find it.
