After 3 years of my doctor saying "just push through it more," I realized the problem: PEM crashes happen 24-48 hours later, so by the time I'm bedbound, I've forgotten what caused it. My doctor never sees the connection.

So I built a tracker specifically for this.

I just finished testing it and wanted to share because I know how isolating it is to have invisible crashes nobody believes.

What it does:

8 weeks of daily energy logging (morning/afternoon/evening)

Activity tracking + 6 crash log templates

A page with exact phrases to say to doctors (I have "what to say when they say it's deconditioning" written out)

Weekly pattern spotting so you see what's happening NOW, not after 4 weeks

Pattern interpreter (helps you understand what the data actually means)

Why I built it:

I needed proof. Not for myself—I knew I was crashing. But for the doctor, my family, my own brain on bad days when guilt creeps in.

This PDF gives you that proof in one printable packet.

Not here to sell it (mods let me know if this breaks rules). Just wanted to share with people who get it because I know what it's like to have your reality questioned.
