Most people rely on their memory when asked to fill out the myriad of questionnaires and answer the questions posed when visiting a physician. Do you? Is your memory that reliable? Is there room on the form for every item? What if you forget to mention or indicate some family history item or a medication you are taking? What if what you forgot proved to be a particularly important piece of information?
There are several types of information you should keep a record of. They are information about:
1. medications and supplements
2. past [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], present, emerging and potential medical conditions
3. surgeries [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], exams, tests and other medical procedures
4. past and scheduled visits with health professionals
5. symptoms, patterns and feelings, and
6. important health measures
The first 4 types are static in nature
When medical issues arise, it is customary to seek the services of a qualified physician or practitioner. When you do, you expect that practitioner to bring knowledge, expertise and experience to bear in assisting you with the issue.
One answer is by providing your doctor with information - information that is relevant, legible and organized. Too much may well hide something important. Too little or missing information may have catastrophic consequences as may illegible or poorly organized information.

What Should You Keep Track Of?
Deciding that you are going to keep this type of information raises some questions: What kind of information should you keep? What should you do with it? Why should you do it? And how should you do it?
Well [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], here are some ideas for you to consider.
You can help your doctor immensely by having well organized information about relevant things related to your health. Keep the data current and keep it formally. Keep it all the time, not just in times when you may need it.
But when you do seek out such services, what are you expected to bring to the table? How can you best help your doctor help you?
