I have tried bringing a variety of pictures as visuals to explain my condition to my rheumatologist. I found this one on the Medscape website.

Showing them helps you explain your situation and helps your doctor understand your situation.

Good idea. Once, when I was at my wits end, I went to a chiropractor for dysesthesia–sparking nerve endings manifesting themselves as full body itching. He had me color inside a body outline where I hurt. He did not believe it when I colored in the whole thing. He said he couldn’t help. At least he knew his limitations!
