I've been keeping a journal in the hopes of discovering new things that make my symptoms worse (or better). I have a column each day for:

--where I am in my cycle (hormonal changes seem to be a big trigger for me)
--what I ate
--what sort of activities I did that day
--any "spells" or attacks--periods of sudden overall weakness
--"other" for noting things like headaches
--a general rating on a scale of 1-10 of the severity of my symptoms

What do you think? Am I doing this right? Anything I should add?

So far I've learned the following helpful information: Don't go to WalMart; and Don't shovel. Both of these belong under the general category of "Don't be a dummy."
