Diandra,
I came across the 'Smiley-Grimace' Face charts. I would feel patronised confronted by one of those.
My GP and PM Teams are the best, although the individuals I see differ, and the Scales used have never been explained. The Private Drs ask verbally, with NO written cues at all. Sometimes I want to hire a retired wrestler, get a load of Medaeval torture devices and give them a physical demonstration of what I go through.
Yesterday was the first day since Boxing Day that I didn't have a Cluster Headache attack - does that warrant a Smiley Face?
Jo*mar,
I like the Mankoski Scale with painkiller effectiveness. I will modify that with negative weekly values for my Lidocaine Infusion relief, and keep it for my other pain meds.

Dave.
