No. 12-20720
Judge which patiently sets out in extreme detail the relevant facts and findings
regarding Catching’s conditions, principal among which are chronic fatigue
syndrome and fybromyalgia. In the end, we find no reversible error, concluding
that, as the Commissioner’s brief summarizes, “Catching fails to prove that her
alleged chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia equated to medically
determinable impairments” and “fails to point to any medical evidence that
suggests chronic fatigue syndrome or fybromyalgia caused additional functional
limitations not already included in the ALJ’s residual functional capacity
finding.”
AFFIRMED.
