Question of the Day? Who else pays attention to their own body and keeps a Log of symptoms? I definitely do! Why you ask? Because I know that Iβm having an MS flare up because my hives started again. I looked on my log and realized that it was exactly 6 months ago that I had a steroid infusion to get rid of the inflammation.
Seriously itβs really important to keep everything about your health symptoms written down in a log. At least I know for sure that my body definitely has a cycle!........π

I think that a journal or diary of some kind is a good idea, with my cognitive, "wow, I spelled it right," skills problem, I forget to do it daily. I never was good at keeping a diary, even growing up. Keep safe and keep the faith.
I try, but it's hard to keep up regularly. What I do most which is helpful is use a free app called MySymptoms. I've personalized it for my most prevalent symptoms that I'm wanting to keep track of over time. When it's time to go to the DR you can select the time frame you want and the symptom/s you want and create a visual report with graphs. Super helpful - wouldn't have been able to ID my food sensitivities without it.
Not really, I don't do it regularly, but I do recap when I remember. In my phone's calendar in the note section I post them. So when I do go to doctors I have something.
Yes, I keep track of my symptoms...I rate symptoms on a scale of 1-10. I do this with the hopes things will be recorded & it will help our cause.
I did at first but I found out as far as my doctors goes they never looked at it they are in such a hurry now they don't take much time with you at lest my ms Doctor doesn't, my family doctor he will take all the time I need I told him one time he needed to go teach my other doctors how to listen. I do have a really good pain Doctor that takes all the time I need. I think I will start keeping mine again though because it is good to go back and look at just for myself. My wife keeps one for her TN I just forget to write in mine and then I can't remember what to write down. I hope and pray everyone is having a good week so far, God bless.ππ»π
