What to expect and chances of getting in?

I applied for my grown daughter. She has been sick for over a decade at this point, and had to take a medical leave from work and was fired when her FMLA ran out and she was still unable to return to work. She got sick and it took a LONG time to diagnose the initial problem. When they finally did (years later), they are treating her for that (no-so-successfully). But ever since she has had a whole host of random symptoms popping up. She now has all these weird random symptoms, and can rarely leave her home. She can't even turned on most of her lights because her head hurts too much. She has ZERO quality of life. We set up the appointment and did the questionnaire, and was rejected almost immediately. I know my answers to the questionnaire were the problem. The questions didn't really apply to her situation, and I know it didn't tell the story at all. Is there any appeal? We have a HUGE binder with her medical records to paint the picture. She lost the whole decade of her twenties to this and she should not have to be homebound for the rest of her life because the doctors can't figure it out. It took so long for her to agree that we needed to do it, and then she gets rejected. I'm completely gutted by this response. She has no life and is in constant pain. I don't know what to do to help her. What can we do? Please help us.

@clwbarry, I suggest calling the Central Appointment Office of the Mayo Clinic location your daughter would like to visit. The numbers are listed here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
