I Am Scheduled For A "functional Capacity Evaluation" After Christmas.

Due to my continued decline, my PCP ordered this and today I found someone to take my insurance which is marginal. Has anyone had one and if so what can I expect? They said it would take 2 hours. Thanks for any input you have to share.

Hi Andy ,A functional capacity evaluation (FCE) is a set of tests that are used to identify a person's physical skills, functional capabilities, activity endurance.

Also, I have a psychiatrist, psychologist, and a case working helping me. Please keep in mind that others here are working hard to cover all the basis and I'm have been a VA researcher. I have some ability despite my illness to dig in, listen to my doctors, my mental health workers, and my own voice.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, I googled functional Capacity Evaluation, I think it sounds like a good thing. I would be happy to have FCE testing. Good for you, trusting it will be easy and they find a diagnosis. Best Wishes. 🌻
