I took the LSAT twice, and improved 9 points on the second take. The first time around I was quite ill, had to use the bathroom mid test, and was generally so incredibly nervous that I psyched myself out.

However, I also spent a lot of time focusing on my weakest section before the second take, and that helped me to improve my score as well. Should I list both of these issues on my addendum, or just the illness?

Just the illness.

How much detail should I be going into about my illness? I don't want to get into the gruesome details, but I also don't want them wondering what the hell "I was feeling ill" refers to and wondering whether I am making up stories.

Just say that unfortunately you were ill during the test.
I gave a couple more specifics, saying that I was ill and unable to sleep the night before.
Don't have to be specific.

Mention that you had to go to the bathroom etc.

tell them that you had the runs during section 5
