Default ssdi hearing

I dont think the judge invovled in my case had much of a clue about MG.
He couldnt seem to grasp that I told him I feel stronger in the morning than I do at night, that my eyes work better in the morning then in the evening.
Maybe he did, and he was just grilling me.
I was not nervous one bit, nor intimidated even a tiny bit.
He asked me to average things, and alot of times I just told him I cant average things, because each day is different for me.
I did find it quite disturbing that there was a vocational expert invovled and the judge couldnt get him to supply a list of jobs my qualifications were meant for as an alternate career.
Youd think after close to 40 years at one job, a job that earned me a good living, I would have stuck it out a few more years to collect ss retirement benefits, but was forced to retire.

I feel bad for people who have little means of support and have to go through what I went through today. I guess I was just naive to all this govt insurance stuff.
