Dont know if your Uk...but i get disability as i had to retire on ill health grounds...like you i have worked all my life...and it wasnt my choice. But i think for some of us we get to a point ...where symptoms are overwhelming and flares become normal.

Get lawyer that specializes in disability and only gets paid after you do. Make sure you go to all dr wants done like xrays, mris. Put on form that you have seizures too and depression anxiety whatever. Keep all paperwork from drs. If dr will write letter in your favor that helps. Good luck!!
