I humbly disagree with the poster that said don't write too much. The more detail you provide the SSA, the better your chances. It gives them more opportunity to approve your application. It's particularly important to describe symptoms with frequency, duration and severity. Add units of measure, minutes, distance, etc. if possible and use descriptive language.
I've done a lot of research and people who write lengthy answers are more successful.
