I'm actually surprised they didn't already award it to you! Just get your Dr to say your SC"s will never get better, they'll either stay the same or get worse during your lifetime. You have some serious issues, I would fight it all the way!

What you might want to do when you go for the exam, take some copies of your civ. Dr reports that help support your claim and let the examiner read them. Some Dr's I understand won't even look at them, but at least you have them handy if they do. Go in there likes it's the worst day you ever had, pain, ache, etc. You want them to know and see how you really are at times. If they ask you how you doing today, don't say fine thankyou! Tell them something like "not so good". because they write everything down. You don't want your C&P exam report stating SP4RVN1971 arrived today for his exam feeling fine. I'm not saying to lie, but tell them how you REALLY feel. When it's over with check to see if you can get a copy of the exam. It might take a couple of days, if they give it to you at all. The examiners statement in the report helps you understand where your claim is heading as far as a successful claim or not. Other than that, good luck and never give up!

ps I stopped taking the cymbalta the other day. That's some wicked stuff!
