Scheduling & Journalling

Many people with complex health conditions find it difficult to keep track of all the things their healthcare providers recommend (let alone all the other things they would like to do each day). Fortunately, there are several resources that can help you stay on track with your pain management strategies.

As always, I do not endorse any of these items - they are listed for informational purposes only.

WEB-BASED PAIN TRACKING RESOURCES

 JOURNALLING SHEETS

Here are some resources that can help people manage their health routines "the old fashioned way": by writing things down. As an alternative to the linked documents, many people use day planners to keep track of their symptoms, activity levels, and pain management strategies.
