CBI,
Your method of jouraling sounds thorough and good.
That is a good idea.

> With respect to a diary or journal, I use a composition/
> buy anywhere, 7 1/2 x 9 3/4. I start from the back and create a calander
> with the year that I had my first seizure. I then create a grid with 1 in
> x 1in squares, one for each month. One year is one line. In each
> month, I enter when I had a seizure the type as well as my blood test
> results. Granted I only have one or two a month, if lucky and have my
> blood level checked every few months so this is ample for me. Larger
> squares can be arranged as you wish. The idea is as time goes on, you
> turn pages towards the front. You could have one page per year. This
> arrangement allows me use a highlighter to highlight the different types
> of seizures and than I can see any patterns. From the front of the
> book, I enter my ongoing dialog of thoughts. The dates link back to the
> calendar and I can add as much or as little as I wish there. When I have
> my annual physical
> or visit my neurologist, I have a list of questions I collect in the
> front between appointments and I add comments from each appointment.
> I'm fortunate my neurologist has an email address he shares with me that
> you can ask him a question or work with him as needed. Most of this is
> generic in nature, I need a prescription, and he mails me one. The issue
> with personnel information I have to be careful.

> In any case, this is how I set up my diary and it works well providing
> a summary in the back, i.e. big picture, and details in the front like a
> regular diary. Hope it helps others. Thanks for your support and I am
> smiling more now that I've joined the group.
