Use this checklist, which covers before, during and after your appointment, to make sure you are prepared and don’t forget anything important.
​
​
For each symptom, summarize dates/times/durations and severity. Note triggers, what makes it better/worse, time of day it is worst, and what actions/treatments you have tried.​
For some people, this detailed daily symptom tracker can:
-
help identify patterns, triggers, success of treatments
-
help accurately complete “Symptom Summary for doctor visit".
Print and take with you to your appointment. Identifies your main concerns and questions to ask. Provides a way to record your conversation with the doctor and follow-up items.
​
​
Track when you start and stop treatments, how they worked, and if they had side effects. Some doctors may also like this level of detail, while some only want a simple list of current treatments and doses.
Having trouble knowing what activities, and how much of each, trigger worsening symptoms for you? Is your PEM hard to predict because it happens hours or days after activity? Using a detailed daily activity tracker for a while can help.
