Good luck B2Y. I know you've been hanging in for a long time, working till the last possible moment.

My doc and neuro didn't offer a lot of details on my assessement documentation, so what I did was carefully consider each that was mentioned, and expand on that with examples.

For instance, they both wrote "fatigue" as a debilitating symptom. I proceeded to define that by saying:

- sleep from 10 pm until 6 am
- nap for 2 - 3 hrs, anywhere from 11 am to 6 pm
- sometimes nap again, for 1 - 2 hrs
- insomnia lasting for one week to one month
- sleep 20 out of 24 hrs several times a year
- etc.

What they really need to know how these symptoms affect you, and your ability to remain gainfully employed.

Good luck!!

Cherie
