Don't take this the wrong way, but 46 pages is not very much history for a severe illness that has been going on for many months/years. Several hundred to a couple of thousand pages would not be extraordinary.
Also, it's best to provide the information they need, in a format that is easy for them to access. If you have multiple conditions, make sure you have letters from the docs focused on your most serious issues.
Please see the sticky "Don't Start Your Claim Unprepared." Also, NOLO offers an excellent guide to the SSDI application process.
