It’s been quite awhile since I posted a chart.
I actually gave up keeping track for a couple of months at the beginning of the year. When I started, it never crossed my mind that I’d still be using them after 12 months. I just assumed I’d better by then, or at least so far along [...]

Symptom Charts – July 2009
Symptom Chart – December 2008
December was pretty poor. I started off on the 1st feeling better than I can remember feeling for a long time, but it all quickly went down hill after that. I had a couple of weird days where things flared for no reason. Then, on the 16th I had a minor, non Lyme related health [...]

I survived November. My averages are down a little over the previous month, but not remarkably. In fact, statistically speaking, they're essentially the same. Seeing this was initially disappointing because I've been feeling somewhat better recently, but then when I read my notes and thought back about the month it's not all that surprising. It [...]

This is a better picture than recent months. August and September were really ugly with lots of symptoms spiking all over the place. I'll post the specifics for October in the monthly wrap up.
One change I made to the design is kind of revealing… I now total up the values of each symptom and then [...]
Symptom Chart – September 2008
September was one of the worst months I’ve had recently. Pretty sucky all around. I got wickedly depressed in the early part of the month, but slowly came out of it towards the end. I think it was a combination of herxing off the new meds Dr. R prescribed at the end of August and [...]

Again, half a month late with August. Busy, busy, busy.
All in all a pretty crappy month. Hit a really rough patch in the early part of the month. This was due to over doing the running. I’m coaching a group who are training for the New York City Marathon in early November and was trying [...]
Online/Desktop Symptom Tracker?
The section of this blog that gets the most traffic is the Symptom Chart category. People seem to have strong reactions (in a positive way) to the manner in which I try to visually track the ebb and flow my symptoms. I find this highly gratifying as they’re both informative yet fun for me to [...]

And… here’s July. Only half a month late. I’ve just been so busy that it’s hard to keep up.
July was rough. As you can see, the first half of the month was really good. In fact around the 4th or 5th I had the best day I’ve had since I started feeling sick. My brain [...]
Symptoms Chart – June 2008
As I was getting ready to post my July chart I noticed that my June chart post never went live. I created it and set it to post while I was away on vacation in Cape Cod. Somehow it disappeared from my pending post list, but never went live. Weird.
Anyway… here it is. June, if [...]
Symptoms Chart – May 2008
Once again, late with this. As simple as it is to update for me I do let it slide from time to time. Sometimes I have to go back and look at my calendar, see what I was doing and then adjust the bars accordingly.
I keep improving the design too. That too slowed me down. [...]
