Understanding Fibromyalgia Toolkit — Symptom Tracker, Pacing Planner, GP Card & At-a-Glance

Four practical tools for the first months after a fibromyalgia diagnosis — somewhere to record what you notice, plan your energy, and walk into appointments prepared.

Written in the UK, for the UK.

What's inside

• 30-Day Symptom & Wellness Tracker (4 pages) — four weekly grids covering pain, fatigue, sleep hours and quality, mood, energy, movement, triggers and medication, with a reflection box at the end of each week. Patterns are far easier to see on paper than to remember.
• The Pacing Planner (1 page) — a weekly energy budget built around the 70% rule, with a boom-and-bust diagram and three cut-out permission slips for the days you need them.
• 7 Questions to Ask Your GP (1 page) — a printable discussion card: a six-point pre-visit checklist plus seven questions worth asking, each with a short note on why it matters.
• Fibromyalgia at a Glance (1 page) — a one-page overview to hand to a partner, a relative or an employer for the times explaining it yourself is too much.

How to use it

Used together, they cover the same loop as the book's own guidance: track what you notice (Tracker), plan around it (Planner), prepare to talk about it (GP Card), and share it with someone else when you need to (At a Glance). Print at home or fill on any device.
