Why use an app instead of paper
Paper diaries work, and some NHS headache clinics hand them out. An app can help in a few small ways:
- You can start an entry while it hurts and end it later. Easing records how long it lasted.
- The calendar shows a whole month at once, coloured by how bad each day was.
- Medication days are counted for you, and Easing lets you know when they add up, so you can bring it up with your doctor.
- The PDF report is ready when you need it, instead of a sheet you have to remember to bring.
What Easing records
- Start and end of each episode.
- Pain level and where it hurts, on a head map.
- Symptoms, aura and medication you took.
- Possible triggers you noticed, and a note.
- Sleep and cycle from Apple Health, if you allow it. Easing never writes to Health.
