Hi,

I am not sure why you applied for SS Disability but this would make a big difference in what they might be looking for. I have Meniere's disease and life threatening allergic reactions along with some secondary problems.
When I applied for SSDI, I was very honest in that I do have some good days. They are definitely far less than my bad days- but on my good days, I do as much as I can and try to live. On my bad days, I can't get out of bed and do anything. I might make it as far as the couch or the bathroom.
I suffer from a disease (Meniere's) which is virtually invisible. People have no clue what is going on with you on the outside- but on the inside- your body is spinning, it feels as if you are going to pass out, you fall easily, your affected ear rings horribly loud and there is so much pressure in that ear that you want to stab it with a knife and then there is the nausea and vomiting that sometimes accompany the spells.
As I said, I included a letter with my application stating all of this. I explained that my symptoms are totally unpredictable and wouldn't allow for employment anywhere. Spells can last several days at a time and then they are followed by horrible lethargy in which I can not do much and certainly can't function for 8 hours.

I hope this helps some
