Free Lupus Journal — Daily Symptom & Flare Log (Google Sheets + Excel)
This free lupus journal is a 7-day daily symptom log for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is a Google Sheets and Excel template designed to help you record flares, fatigue, pain, and symptoms in a simple, organized format.
By the time your rheumatology appointment arrives, the flare is three weeks old and the details have blurred. You remember it was bad. You cannot remember exactly what happened or when. This log gives you something concrete to bring.
The free version covers 7 days. If you need 90 days of tracking with a weekly pattern dashboard and appointment summary, the full Lupus SLE Flare and Symptom Tracker Bundle is available separately.
WHAT IT TRACKS
- Daily symptoms - joint pain, fatigue, rash, brain fog, swelling, and more
- Flare severity score (1-10)
- Medications taken and doses
- Possible triggers - sun exposure, stress, activity, sleep
- Energy level
- Daily notes and questions for your doctor
HOW IT WORKS
Open the spreadsheet each day and fill in your symptoms, severity, and notes. At the end of the week you have a clear record of what happened and when. Screenshot it, print it, or share the file directly with your rheumatologist or care team before your appointment.
WHEN YOU ARE READY FOR MORE THAN 7 DAYS
The full bundle at payhip.com/b/VlE9y ($12.99) includes a 90-day daily log, weekly flare pattern dashboard, medication tracker, and printable appointment summary page. Available for Google Sheets and Excel.
