About me

My name is Julianna Becker and I am 31 years old. I am from Frankfurt and work as a software developer. I found the DoctorBox health app on your website when I was looking for a way to track my pain and a way to keep a pain diary.

I am 40 years old, a mother and suffer from a chronic illness associated with pain. I have been using the DoctorBox app for a few months to manage my pain and keep my pain diary. This feature has really changed my life as I have finally found a way to accurately track my pain and share my symptoms with my doctor.

The app offers a user-friendly interface and is easy to use. I can enter my pain intensity and type, as well as the location and duration of the pain. I can also make notes about my symptoms and indicate specific activities or triggers that affect my pain.

The app also reminds me to take my medication on time, which helps a lot in controlling my pain.

I have used the pain diary every day and this has helped me to understand my pain much better. I was able to see patterns in my pain and find connections between my activities and my symptoms. This has helped me to avoid certain things that make my pain worse and find activities that relieve my pain.

The pain diary has also helped my doctor a lot. When I go to my doctor's appointment, I can bring my pain logs with me and show him how my pain has changed over time. My doctor can then recommend a better treatment for me that is tailored to my individual needs. This has helped me feel better and have a better understanding of my condition.

I can't and don't want to do without this app and especially the pain diary feature. It has helped me to better understand and manage my pain and has helped me to get better treatment for my chronic illness.
