01 · Routine
Record what happened
Keep the prescribed medication routine, dates, and times together. Record changes only as history; decisions about treatment belong with a licensed clinician.
- Medication routine entries
- Meals and protein you chose to log
- Hydration and movement
- Symptoms and their timing
02 · Context
Prefer patterns over perfect numbers
A record is useful when it helps you notice that some days were different and describe how. Missing data should stay missing rather than being treated as zero.
- Which days felt easier or harder?
- What did you actually record before a symptom?
- Did a lower-intake day also have lower hydration?
- Which details would your clinician reasonably need?
03 · Questions
Save questions when they occur
The question you have on Tuesday is easy to forget by the next appointment. Write it down without trying to answer it through an app.
- A symptom or timing pattern to review
- A question about what to keep tracking
- A question about labs, vitals, or follow-up timing
- A change that should prompt earlier contact

Summarize before you share
Review your own record, separate observed facts from interpretation, and bring a short summary. A patient-generated packet should make the conversation easier—not pretend to be a clinical record.
