Hello Celiac brothers and sisters - this is my first foray into asking for
help.  I was diagnosed (biopsy and TTG) April 2001, was anemic and 113
pounds at 5' 9".  I have since gained all my weight back (and then some)
being gluten free.  But I am still feeling fatigued to the point that I
cannot work full-time.  I manage 5 hours a day, should be 7.5, and have real
trouble getting up in the morning.

My question is:  Is there some site where I can find medical documentation
to support my situation?  This is for disability insurance purposes - my
doctor figures I should have been up and running months ago, and even though
I wish this was true, it isn't.   So, I am looking for actual verification,
if it exists, that explains how long it might reasonably take before I feel
strong enough to work full-time.

Thank-you for your support - this is a great list, and I have learned lots,
and am very grateful.
