Does Anyone Keep a Journal?
Posted , 10 users are following.
I was curious, does anyone keep a daily journal of symptoms? I've thought about starting one to see the ratio of good versus bad days. I do believe I have more bad days then good!

Not too well. My husband works 4 pm to 12 am and doesn't come to bed until 3-4 am and I wake up every night to see if he is home safe and sound. Every night is interrupted sleep and even when I do sleep good I still feel so tired. I stress over my ill feelings every day. A journal will probably depress me too come to think of it.

yes i keep diarys and have done since all my peri kicked off so i have 12 years of peri notes and kept info over the years of whats what, how many periods i got etc and watched them slowly decline over the years.. ' sounds obsessive' but i suppose i am abit 😃
i always have kept what i call a period diary bedore peri menopause began and always made a note around due on date and so i knew peri was happening when i was having prolonged periods then missing periods and feeling odd etc.
i still keep notes even though i am post meno now ( age 50) as i have a pattern every six weeks of feeling really rough for a few days..Â
helps me explain to my Gyno and Doc whats what etc, dont and cant take HRT,
its really good i think to keep notes on it, last year i had hot flushes return after years of none which was a shocker ..Â
its a tough journey for us ladies .. hang in thereÂ

And while it seems like you'll have more bad days then good for awhile, you'll love when you see it start swinging back the other way, which is where I am at (emotionally-lol! aches and pains.........uuummm.....room for improvement!) and it helps, for a while, I really thought I was becoming Bipolar and that scared the heck out of me.
Do journal-it does help.

Great to show a doctor, or a partner and REALLY good for assessing how you feel on different medications, or preparations and foods.
Amazon can sell you a current, this year, A4 size desk diary for just over £1 !! Just bought one for a buddy....
Good luck Hun. 😄 xx

I look back several months and boy half the month was marked up-now it's just a couple odd days here and there. It helps when you see where you've been and the slow but sure improvement.
Feel betterÂ
