From the beginning, we counseled our client to make sure her doctors were documenting the chronic joint pain, extremity swelling and severe fatigue. Through testimony the claimant explained that she experiences good days and bad days, with the bad days causing her to lie down all day due to her pain and fatigue. Also, she described that fatigue sets in with any exertion. Lastly, her condition causes her to lie down a third of the day.
