Re: How do I restore a sense of control in my life?

[Guest guest]

If you have the energy, I would track my emotions, etc. I wish I had. Still not

good about journaling. Pain issues mostly. I did track alot of my medical stuff,

but it would have been nice to see where my head was/wasn't.

Good Luck, Chelsea!

stopped staring at me clueless - he told me to keep a medical diary. Keeping

track of my visits to the doctor — when and why. Maintaining a list of

treatments and medications and any side effects. Including copies of my test

results, as well as a record of symptoms, severity and possible triggers.

a diary was good but mostly important - keep track of your emotions and

thoughts.
