I write down what I want to go over with doctors. my experience has always been you have a limited time frame for your doctors appointment. I found myself always forgetting to cover important things with the doctor. Writing things down works for me most of the time, unless of course I forget to take the paper with me to my office visit.
Yes you can. It probably helped you having a bad day. You get a copy of their report where the marks are so you can challenge the findings if it goes against you. Good luck.
I really feel for all of you who struggle to get Benefits for this cursed illness. When I was interviewed for Work Placement I was hyperventilating, physically shaking, in tears & a proper mess. I had to hang onto hubby as I could barely walk. So thankful the guy saw my need & put me on a Disability Pension. It got me through the 2yrs+till I was eligable for Age Pension. God was takung care of me, that's for sure. So much better these days but don't take that for granted either. God Bless you all. xx
