Members shared a variety of approaches to tracking pain for medical appointments, with several preferring traditional notebooks over apps because they're easier to carry, show doctors, and don't collect personal data. Those who recommended digital options suggested My Pain Diary for iPhone, TracknShare Lite from the App Store, and experimenting with different apps to find the right fit, though some members noted they gave up after finding the tracking repetitive or interfering with daily phone use. A recurring theme was the challenge of remembering pain details accurately due to fibro fog and medications, with one member mentioning a helpful paper diary from Amazon that includes body diagrams, space for external factors like weather, and medication logs.

TracknShare Lite. Great app thru App Store

I've removed almost every app I've tried from my mobile, as they interfer with normal daily use. Plus they all seem to get hold of a lot of personal data. I prefer to use an old fashioned note book too, easy to keep with me and show doctors. I bought a really good pain diary from Amazon, that has picture of body on each page to mark where pain is plus a space to write in "external factors" like the weather or sleep quality. A page for hospital appointments, plus all meds taken.
It's a good reminder for me. 🌸☺️

Never used an app. Just used a notebook to write daily pain levels, weather and what I ate that day that may have affected me. No rhyme or reason though, lol!
