Limited work history

I worked for 10 years in the early 2000s, then stopped working to become a stay at home mom for 12 years. After a divorce, I went back to work full time in 2021. Late last year, I became disabled. I can do some remote desk work but my legs are paralyzed and my options are extremely limited.

I am told I am not eligible for SSDI due to not having 5 years of work history in the immediate past.

Is there any way around this? I have paid many years into SSDI. Just not enough in the last 5 years. I am getting desperate.

Thank you.
