I Almost Took a Job. My Own App Stopped Me Cold.

Recently, what looked like “the perfect opportunity” landed in my inbox.

Commission-only. Managing Partner role. Build a division from scratch. Full autonomy. Uncapped upside.

The position was everything my builder brain used to thrive on.

I was seriously considering it.

Until I looked at what TrackMySymptoms had documented about that same week.

  • 4 “severe” days out of 5
  • 53% average functional capacity
  • Zero consecutive days of sustained performance

My own app told me the truth my brain didn’t want to hear:

I can’t promise I’ll be functional tomorrow at 8am.

That’s the reality we live in.

We’re capable. We see opportunities.

But our bodies and our minds? They can’t guarantee consistency anymore. And every system designed for “normal” people demands exactly that.

  • Social Security wants to know: “Can you work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week?”
  • The VA wants to know: “How often are you unable to perform daily activities?”
  • Your doctor wants to know: “When did this start and how long did it last?”

Without documentation, you’re guessing. You’re underselling your reality. You’re trying to remember details from three months ago while sitting in front of someone who decides your future.

TrackMySymptoms was built by someone who gets it.

I’m a 100% Permanent and Total Disabled Navy veteran. I’ve been living with Multiple Sclerosis for 30+ years. I’ve navigated VA claims, Social Security processes, and countless medical appointments where I needed to prove what my body does to me.

I built this tool because I needed it. When I was considering this opportunity, I needed it even more than I realized.

TrackMySymptoms generates attorney-ready reports that help you prove:

  • Frequency and severity of episodes
  • Functional impact on daily activities
  • Patterns and triggers over time
  • Why you’re not lazy, unmotivated, or faking it

You’re not making excuses. You’re building your case.

You’re creating evidence that can help you take “My back hurts” from “complaining” to compensatation.
