Has anyone been forced to take FMLA?

I was forced to take FMLA this year. I did not request it. My walking had become more challenged but I was (and am) ambulatory. I was able to drive to work every day. Since becoming more sedentary at home, I discontinued my driving. I feel being put on FMLA caused me to lose function and a career I worked 18 years for. I am still angry 😠!!
