Kelly,
I hope everything goes well for you at the hearing. When I went to the
hearing for my disability, I was so scared and nervous. My lawyer told me
that my nerve problems is what got my disability approved. I had tried on
seizures alone 2 other times and got turned down. If they see how much it
bothering you emotionally, it might help in the outcome. My thoughts and
prayers will be with you when you have to go. Take care.
