Journal or diary

Do any of you keep a medical journal or diary for doctor and/or disability purposes? If so, how exactly do you write it? Do you just keep track of all of your aches and pains, etc in detail?

I guess I am having brain fog this morning because I can't think of how to begin and what to write. I am wanting to write one for disability purposes as I have been told that having it can help. I am assuming you just keep to the facts only, is this correct? Any help would be appreciated.

Sharon,

If you go to Fibro 101 on the top of the page, you will find some informative links for pain charts and journals. It is no. 13.

I bring any new symptoms to my doc's attention. Each visit, I'm required to fill out his inventory of pain levels and physical capabilty. I see my rheumy every 10-12 weeks and sometimes every 6-8 weeks depending on my condition.

Hugs, Robin
