MemoryMinder Personal Health Journal (A Wellness Diary & Symptoms Log) [Spiral-bound]

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2006

The MemoryMinder is an easy-to-use, "checklist-format" health diary. It provides an organized and accurate way to track vitamins, herbs, medications, diet, exercise, blood pressure, symptoms, progress, and all the other factors that make up one's health picture.

The MemoryMinder has 224 pages, an attractive leatherette cover, spiral binding, and measures 8.5 x 6 inches. The "heart" of the journal consists of repeated daily pages. (Each day is a two- page spread.) There are also two human figure outlines (front and back) for each day. This makes it easy to note pain location and intensity as well as skin changes or conditions.

The MemoryMinder does not necessarily need to be used every day. However, when a symptom appears or changes, or a new medication or vitamin is started or stopped, or a reaction of any kind is experienced, etc., it is a good idea to enter that information in the journal.

There are additional pages in the back of the MemoryMinder for keeping track of other health-related data such as medical test results, health provider and insurance information, expenses, and notes & questions. Last but not least, a vinyl pocket-page is included for storing notes, prescription slips, appointment cards, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Health Journal I've Seen!, January 26, 2004

In my work, I see and evaluate many health journals. This one is, by far, the best I have ever seen. I will be recommending it to all the readers and patients with whom I work. Keeping one journal page per day, this will let you journal for three months. The plastic spiral binding lets it lie flat, and the ends of the binding don't snag. The vinyl cover makes it quite durable, and it's size allows you to carry it with you quite easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars MemoryMinder-Personal Health Journal, July 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: MemoryMinder Personal Health Journal (A Wellness Diary & Symptoms Log) (Spiral-bound)

I am supposed to keep track of my fibromyalgia symptoms to help the Drs in my health care. I never could get it on paper. With this book it is much easier to get the job done. It is very detailed for you, you can use as much or as little as you choose, it is very efficient and versatile. I highly recommend it, documenting is much easier and I haven't missed a day!!!

Too often workers comp and accident/health insurance related litigation goes on for years. How are you supposed to remember how you felt on June 10th three years ago? With this health journal you can record in opposition-stunning detail how you felt on that day and each day before and after!
