How to Track Flare Days Without Melting Down
Flare days are hard to log when you are in pain or depleted. This pattern keeps logging to one signal plus context.

What to track
- Daily flare flag and severity score
- Context shifts: sleep, food, stress, weather, activity
- Recovery action attempted and perceived effect
How to start (this takes seconds a day)
- Mark every flare day with a quick severity score.
- Add one context line: what changed most that day.
- Review whether recovery actions are helping or just busywork.
Frequently asked
Why flag flare days separately?
A flare flag makes high-variance patterns visible when average scores hide the real swings.
How can I tell flare recovery is improving?
Shorter lag time and fewer high-severity resets are usually early signs of better pacing.
The calm way to do all of this
