What should I write in my journal about my irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?

Here are suggestions for constructing a journal about your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Rate the severity of your pain and fatigue from 0 to 10, with 0 being no symptoms and 10 being the worst possible symptoms. If you have other symptoms, list them and rate their severity. Rate your sleep as either good, fair, poor or none.

Describe your thoughts, feelings, stresses, memories and what is happening in your life. This may lead you to recognize a correlation between life events and your symptoms. Review your journal at least daily and more frequently if possible.

Evaluate your? Findings and observations. It is important to record not only your observations, but also your impressions about the relationship of your symptoms to your mental outlook and life events.

Look for patterns and try to draw conclusions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
