endonemEndonem vs paper diary for endometriosis
Endonem is an iOS symptom record for endometriosis. You log pain scores, body-map marks, bleeding, medication and whether it helped, then compile entries into a dated, sealed report you can print or send from the share sheet for an appointment. There is no account and no server.
Verdict: paper keeps what you write; Endonem compiles it. If years of memory go blank in the appointment, walk in with a dated sheet instead.

| Report | A dated, sealed report. Print it, or send it from the share sheet. | Paper is the page itself; there is no compiled sheet. |
| Body map | Mark where it hurts on a body map, and what kind of pain. | Paper holds any sketch you draw yourself. |
| Streaks | Nothing counts your streak or tells you off for a day you missed. | Paper counts nothing either. |

What endonem does and does not do
- The report holds a pain summary, a timeline, what changed across cycles, and every medication with how you rated it, dose by dose.
- Entries become a dated, sealed report. New data goes into the next one.
- It compiles into a few printed pages a clinician can read in the time you are actually given.
- Your symptoms, written down properly.
Endonem is a record, not a diagnosis. It does not detect, diagnose, treat, cure or prevent endometriosis or any other condition, and nothing in it is medical advice.
