My symptoms log

I have posted the Excel spreadsheet that I use to log and chart my symptoms.  I have left some real data in it of the last flare that I had because it might be useful for people to compare their experience.  The spreadsheet might be useful for other people as well, at least as a template or as an example to stimulate ideas.  I have found the charts very useful to review with my doctors as we have something concrete to discuss, rather than just subjective, I feel grotty.

Document all about AOSD

I came across across a medical paper on AOSD the other day, but it was so full of jargon I couldn't follow it.  I created an annotated version which I have posted here in case it's of any use.  Not being a medical person myself don't take it too seriously and if you have any questions about the content please check with your specialist as I may have got some of the definitions wrong!

AOSD Flare Status update

My current Adult Onset Stills Disease flare seem to be nearly over now and I should be back at work in a couple of weeks.  This is my longest flare, lasting from Mid January to the end of May.  Its not been too severe because now I am diagnosed the drug treatments keep me fairly stable, but its not very comfortable and its difficult to work through the pain, fatigue and difficulty concentrating. 

For those of you who are interested, probably only fellow AOSD sufferers I have posted my 'end of flare report' here

It's good to see some clarity around the future of the Tablet Platform

There is a good update on TabletPCTalk on the current status of the Tablet PC.  Here is the key bit

We continue to be incredibly proud of and committed to the Tablet, and we are hard at work on developing those technologies for future versions of Windows.  In fact, not only do we have a significant development effort underway for Longhorn (we spoke directionally about this at WinHEC 2004), but we have a group of people focused on Tablet technologies for the version of Windows after that. 

Good news for Tablet fans.
