Symptom diary template
A one-page, two-week template you can print today (print two for a month). Write your own symptoms in the first row of columns, score each one from 0 to 10 every day, and add a line of notes when the day was different. Bring it to your appointment with your questions at the top.

Tips for keeping it going
- Fill it in at the same time each day, even if it is only the scores.
- Zeros count. A good day is part of the record.
- Keep notes to one line, and only when something was different.
Rather not print?
Plainlog keeps the same diary on your phone, and turns a month of it into a one-page report for your doctor. It records what you enter and does not interpret it.
Price: Free for 14 days, then $14.99 once.

Plainlog records what you enter and reports it back. It does not diagnose, interpret, suggest treatment or calculate anything about medication. It is a notebook, not a clinician.
