I had to go on FMLA recently because I started having issues at work. I started having moments where I would blank out and when I would come out of it I wouldn't know where I was at or what I was doing... This is especially dangerous as I drive 18 wheelers. As soon as it started happening I took myself off the road. My psychologist and neurologist are trying to figure out what's going on, meanwhile I don't have a income and my wife is on disability. It's especially worrisome because I can't go back to work unless both doctors sign off on it. I don't think that's going to happen. Anyone have any ideas about diagnoses? Should I file for disability? I'm 52 so I don't think they will consider retraining.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
