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

Good luck on your phone interview. My mom had hers and the person was very patient. Mom had just had brain surgery so you can only imagine how that call went. My sister was on the other line just in case.
