Always be truthful with the examiner — describe your worst days accurately, never exaggerate. An inadequate exam (examiner didn't test flares/repetitive use, ignored your reports, or the report is internally inconsistent) can be challenged (see Nieves-Rodriguez; DeLuca/Mitchell for orthopedic flares).
