insurance review today

Today I have a review with the insurance company so they can look me over and assess me as to the reason why I am not working I HATE these reviews, Why? Because I look as though nothing is wrong with me, and as you all know if someone doesn't look ill then there can't be anything wrong with them !!!!! Even educated people feel this way which makes it disheartening.
They don't understand that theres no normal sleep cycle, that you can start the day with being able to perorm a few tasks and then rapidly fizzle, or that you don't start the day til the afternoon. That one day u can walk around the block but can't the net 4 or 5 days. How does one expalin this?

Sharon yes you are right, people for some reason think if you look ok you are. The fatigue is so hard to eplain people think just regular tired. i always say it is like I am in a big vat of wet cement that is drying and I am trying to move with that hanging on me. Or another good one is tell them if they can remember the worse flu ever the aches and pains like that and they do not go away!!!
Let us know how you did.

No great words of wisdom, just a hearty good luck and hope all goes well!

Thanks for your replies, I just got back. The review went quickly, the rep told me that they thought that because I had gastric bypass, it would have relieved a lot of my symptoms, I only wish that were the truth!!! Are thee some good sides==positively, has it all gone away--could only hope
I guess that I have to remember that they're out to save money for thier company and the fact that they smile is out of protocol not because they like you. Now they will return to the company and decide what job I can do. If they find one that lets me go in and leave when I need and stay home for days at a time when I need, please tell me.
 

HI Sharon I am very new here and I have not even had my surgery yet. Did having the surgery help at all with your fibromyalgia?
