Rheumatoid Arthritis Support Group
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction. The disease is also systemic in that it often also affects many extra-articular tissues throughout the body including the skin, blood vessels, heart, lungs, and...
Looking forward to seeing my Rheumy in the USA next month. If he asks me to recall specifics such as length of flares, when certain joints started being involved, etc., I don't think I could provide that.
Have any of you used an App on your iOS device to document pain and related information? If so, which app was your favorite and why? I see that there are some pain record apps out there, but most are paid apps and I wonder if they will be comprehensive enough to document the multiplicity of symptoms/locations involved with RA.

No help as to an App. but I keep a notebook where I write this kind of information for flares or pain etc. I can then be more specific at a Rheumy appointment. I also write down any questions I have.

Yes I use my pain diary.the lite version is free but for 1.99 you can add notes and it tracks the weather. I keep track of when I start new meds. Check it out. I like it.

I used RheumaTrack. I used it on my Android, but got my iPhone last week and was delighted to see it (and Free!) in the App Store. I do a check daily around 10 am. I also will do another when I am feeling rough.

I d/l'd the RheumaTrack as well. While it asked targeted questions about overall level of pain, length of stiffness, etc., I wish it would have been able to differentiate by joint - for example, wrists hurting quite intensively while ankles only mildly so, or by type of pain, amount of swelling. Entering data and seeing a trend could be useful. Stephanie, I'lll have to give Pain Diary a look.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
