Symptom tracker??

For the last five months I've been writing down my symptoms in a monthly planner. It was good for a while, but I'm soooo tired of doing it. It's basically the same things over and over. Neck pain, back pain, dizzy, etc. I need something easier. What's everyone else using?

i created a spreadsheet that has the date and each day broken down by morning, afternoon and evening. i also have columns for each major symptom along with an overall column for health as well as another column for what protocol i'm on. i've been doing this for 2 1/2 years and yes it does help immensely when i want to go back and look at things.

yes it sucks to do every day but a log is very important.

i use google sheets so i can access the spreadsheet anywhere there's internet

There are phone apps you can look into as well - just google 'Lyme disease symptom tracker' and there are a couple of sites that will pop up with apps described.

I also encourage the use of the spreadsheet located in the "New to Lyme?" thread - VERY helpful.

It's also time-consuming to log 50 sx every day but don't overlook how useful this info is in keeping track of your reactions to tx and detoxing, food, etc. If I hadn't done this I wouldn't have been able to make some critical decisions I've made.

But the good news is that over time, as sx fall away (and they should!) the daily intensity lessen and your daily list becomes a weekly list... and then that becomes a monthly LLMD update (mine is now 3 pages, but I couldn't function in these appts w/out those pages - and my appt is now only 30 minutes).

Soldier on, good people!
