When applying for SSDI they did some of those mental ability tests on me and I couldn't do them, it almost HURT to try.
Yesterday I did some filing at home, just filing bills into the cabinet and the zillions of papers from worker's comp into their box. Took about 30 mins. It WIPED me out. I broke out into a sweat, couldn't think anymore, felt almost dizzy.

If I'm tired, or trying to do one thing, I can't try to pay attention to anything else. I miss things, forget what was being said etc. I also fall asleep at the drop of a hat if things are complicated (I try to read the news on my computer, sometimes it makes me fall asleep).
I hate it, and I hate not being believed when I try to explain it.
