Fibromyalgia Journal - Beta

I've been reading Deborah Mitchell's The Complete Guide to Healing Fibromyalgia that came out earlier this year. So far I've found it an informative read. I was on Chapter Four: Getting a Diagnosis when I was struck by a sudden sense of familiarity. Yes! I have this! And this, and this and this! Which was followed by a sudden burst of creativity.

I've never journaled my symptoms in a concise manner. But, I know I'll never fill out the pages of a blank journal so I set to work creating a template. An hour or two later I had finished my first draft of a fibromyalgia journal. I haven't decided what final format I want to print this, so I just hole punched a couple copies to work on and tweak for a week or two.

In the meantime, I'm really excited to share what I've come up with. Please feel free to download and tweak as needed. (For example, I use a CPAP machine for my sleep apnea, so that line item might not apply to you.) I'm open to suggestions and look forward to hearing what you think!
