Who are you?
4
I'm Deramin, an artist who suffers from chronic pain and fatigue. I do not have medical training, but I do make art about my pain that includes ratings, so I need consistency. These are the best charts I've found.

Who made these charts?

I don't know.

The pain chart was an uncredited photocopy of a photocopy given to me at McKenzie Willamette hospital while I was having a level 9 migraine and struggling to describe it. I don’t know who the doctor was, and I’ve never seen it used there since. It was a very badly formatted and spaced spreadsheet. But it was very valuable to me, so I cleaned it up into something I could save on my phone and regularly use.
9
The fatigue chart was going around disability Tumblr uncredited, in a horrible, bright cacophony of colors that I could not read when I needed to use it. So I also cleaned it up and put the two together. They feel very consistent with each other.
10
Both of these were originally 10-point scales. I added the 4-point scale numbers (to use with my tracking app).

If you know who made these charts, please let me know through my socials. I owe them a debt of gratitude.

I draw my migraines/fatigue sometimes (and occationally other brain states). You can see the full gallery on my Instagram. I post them to other socials but they're buried under daily activity.
