## What is Chronic Pain Diary?

Since 9/4/2017, Chronic Pain Diary is now free, to help as many people as possible. 

Chronic pain symptoms are tough. But tracking them should be easy.

Chronic Pain Diary enables you to track your pain with symptoms and treatments, a color coded calendar, readable graphs, and quick and easy data entry. Export your graphs and calendar in an email, and forward all your data as a 'comma separated values' file for usage in desktop applications.

Recording a new symptom, treatment or note entry doesn't require longer than a few seconds; Chronic Pain Diary takes the pain out of tracking chronic pain.

Chronic Pain Diary allows you to name your treatments, symptoms, and notes. A few examples of the many possibilities:  back and hip pain, pain relief, chronic pain, Lyme symptoms, Lupus symptoms, Fibromyalgia, and depression symptoms. 

* Tap just a few times, then get back to your day. This app focuses on streamlining how you track your health
* Tap in an entry name, optional entry notes, entry type (treatment, symptom or note), rating from 0 - 10, and a time stamp
* Create multiple profiles, each with a separate calendar and entry tracking
* Reuse previously entered entry names to quickly log new data
* Sort entries alphabetically or by usage
* Color coded symptom lists display low and high ratings
* Color coded calendar displays high ratings of each day for symptoms and treatments
* Symptoms are 'red', treatments are 'green', with dynamic color blending on the calendar and in lists
* Graph individual days, showing high and low points by rating and time stamp
* Graph multiple days by dragging a touch across the calendar to display high points for all days in a given range
* Email export of calendar images and graph images
* Dropbox support for backing up data on the go
* Email export of all database entries for a given profile in 'comma separated value' format
* Toggle display of entries, optionally omitting them from graph images and calendar images
* Watch a user guide video

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-10-21*

Just what I needed to track a lot of different symptoms and treatments over time as easily as possible. Five stars for the ability to export to csv for use of your data in other places. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Super useful app

*2014-11-27*

This app really does make it easy to track your symptoms in detail and the amount that that can do to help inform your doctor of the efficiency of your treatment is tremendous.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2014-10-31*

All my client get this as a personal service😊

### 4/5 — Seems helpful

*2012-10-01*

Just started using this app. It seems helpful, but I think an expansion of the graph feature and the ability to alphabetically sort the symptom list could be helpful. Also would like the ability to track temperature. Some rheumatic and autoimmune diseases have a temperature element to them.

### 5/5 — Helpful app!

*2012-09-17*

I have been needing something like this for a long time! As a woman, it's good to know if certain symptoms are related to my cycle, and of course it's always important to know if symptoms are related to certain foods or lack of sleep. This app is a great way to log that information. Thanks to the developer for making this app! It's been really helpful.
