Good luck with your SS appointment. I hope it all goes well. As far as the

looks. I think they know perfectly well that disease doesn't always " show " .

Still, you should try to avoid looking your best, if you know what I mean.

No makeup is good, put on your regular clothes. I know I myself always have

a smile on my face, can't help it. Especially in serious situations I stay

calm, it's just the way I am. I think you should try to be as natural as

possible, but don't say too much if you usually do talk a lot. Just answer

questions, don't give too much information. I only had the phone interviews,

the only time I had to go in was to prove the children I claimed on my

application actually existed. So, my experience is not first hand, it's only

the way I would imagine it and from what I have heard from others who had

gone through the process.

Let us know how it goes.
