My Review
This Planner came at the perfect time. I generally find that the perfect resources seem to appear in my life at the best times.! When I initially signed up to review this planner, I had planned to use it for my own personal health tracking of some mild, ongoing arthritis issues and migraines. While my conditions are mild and fairly easy to manage, I was interested in trying a system for better tracking and data documentation. Then, one of my daughters developed some sudden health issues that have literally had me on the phone or venturing off to a doctor's visit or lab several times a week. I began using a few pages of this planner to help me keep better records of her symptoms and dates and medication side effects--and it has been a wonderful resource!
This planner helps caregivers and patients make the most of their healthcare visits. When illness strikes, there are so many thoughts, fears and emotions swirling in the mind of the patient and primary caregiver! The entire situation becomes quite overwhelming quite quickly. Using this planner allowed me to make sure that was able to remember all of the many ups and downs of my daughters health between healthcare visits. It was a great place to write down literally everything that we may need--and allowed me to (at least in part) write it down and forget it. It was wonderful to be able to simply take this planner to healthcare visits and know that I had answers to the questions that the doctor or specialist had without trying to rely on my tired, overwhelmed memory stores!
Would I recommend the Plot Your Health: A Journey to Wellness Planner? This planner is a must have for anyone managing a chronic health condition! I used the sample sheets--and will be purchasing the 12 month planner to continue tracking all of the many details related to my daughter's ongoing condition. Taking advantage of this planner has made managing her health a little less overwhelming--and I know that I have been going to doctor visits much better prepared than I would have been before using the planner pages. I highly recommend this planner!
