Hi everyone,
I have been living with vestibular neuritis since 2014 and have been working remotely as a software engineer almost full-time ever since. Work was stable until recently, when the company asked me to re-submit my medical paperwork in order to continue working from home and using personal devices such as a large monitor (to reduce eye strain and dizziness).

The problem is that they send a long questionnaire with questions like “What limitations affect work performance?” or “How would your doctor suggest improvements?” – which my doctor frankly said they could not answer due to legal concerns and not knowing the specifics of the job. This doctor is extremely reputable and is currently very difficult to reschedule (4–6 month wait).

I feel caught between an unrealistic administrative requirement from my employer and a healthcare system that does not support this type of paperwork. I am considering hiring an attorney to defend my ADA rights.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation? How do I get through this without burning out? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!
