dont use makeup to cover the tiredness or wear from pain. dont dress too well. be yourself. look the judge in the eye when you answer. answer the question asked. dont go into a lengthy answer unless it is really called for. they dont ask too many open ended questions except maybe what do you do during your day. if its a long hearing, ask the judge if it is ok to stand for a while if you have pain issues. think before you answer a question, every question, take a few seconds. if you dont understand the question ask the judge if they could repeat it or rephrase it. if you dont know the answer to a question say so. unlike mz migraine, my hearing only took about 10 minutes tops.

good luck
