GOOD NEWS! Disability approved!
Thought I would share with you all the GREAT news I got today. The disability company who has taken 5+ months to make a decision called at 5pm to say I have been approved!
What a relief. I had spent the day on the phone with attorneys and other consultants regarding protecting my ADA rights since it didn't look like my disability was going to be approved before Monday. No need for the long details just that I am estastic the long wait is over.
This disability is provided by by company and is only for 2 years since it covers my disability only as it relates to my job description. After the 2 years it's the same as SSDI, unable to meet any job description.

To Erin, Cass, Cyndi, NiCee and GG: Thanks for kind words thet are are very much appreciated !
To GG: This disability was only my company provided disability claim. I dread doing this with SSDI but will start that process on Monday as I have been out of work 5 months which is the minimum to be able to file or start the process. My company plan is good for 2 years so I hoping that either I will stay in remission or that SS thinks I have a valid complaint with the vertigo by the time my company disability is up. I had 3 attorneys in employment law tell me this week that I should make SSDI ...eventually.
I hope you feel better after the steroid pulse. Hang in there!

Last Tuesday, when I was falling apart so quickly and hard, the thought crossed my mind - Holy Smokes - I can't meet the demands of my job description! And the demands are a lot (Echocardiography)!
I'm over my IVSM pulse on Monday, and I'm slowwwllly feeling better, but I may look into SSDI. I just don't feel "disabled" enough, or I'm deluding myself. I know, every day is different. I'm hoping I can hang in there a while longer.
Again, congratulations!
