Hi! I'm still trying to figure out how to organize my symptom tracker (I started one back in Sept. with my current flare-up) - I tend to over-complicate things! Right now I have two different trackers, and they're working fairly well for me.
(1) Spiral bound notebook. One page per day, each page divided into four columns: 1. time, 2. medicine/supplement, 3. food, 4. symptom/exercise/etc. There ends up being a fair amount of blank space on the page but this actually makes it easier for me to read (I'm a very visual person, and it looks to me like a "picture" of my day, if this makes any sense!).
For example:
8:30 -------------------------------------------------------- Stretches
8:45 -- Pred 15mg ---------------Orange juice
--------- 6mp 75mg ---------------Banana
--------- Multivit, B-complex------Fiber granola bar
--------- Calc w/D, magnes.
9:00 -------------------------------------------------------- B.M. norm, little crampy
etc.
(2) The monthly pages in my day planner. I'll note the day's worst symptoms and that gives me a "big picture" view of what's going on, and helps me note when new symptoms start/happen more frequently.
Then before an appt I'll make a sheet consolidating the most important info so my doc can see at a glance what's bothering me the most - the last one I made had 3 columns: 1. symptom, 2. date of onset, 3. "notes" (frequency, duration, description, etc).
Good luck finding a system that works for you!
