Yes…. the name, dosage and date I started taking it. It’s a useful tool for you and your doctor, sometimes.

For me no two days are alike. Some better than others but journaling or some kind of notes to detect trends. It's gonna be what it's gonna be so I just deal with it and thank God each night I fall asleep and wake up in the morning 🌄

Tracking symptoms and medications is a really smart move, and many people with Parkinson's find it incredibly helpful — especially when it comes to getting the most out of doctor visits!

Here are some popular ways to track:

- Pill organizer — A classic, simple way to stay on top of your medication schedule
- Paper medication tracker — Easy to customize and no tech required
- Smartphone app — There are medication tracking apps available if you're comfortable using one
- A simple journal or notepad — Even a grocery list notepad or a piece of paper on the fridge works great When journaling, it helps to note things like:

- When you take your Parkinson's medications
- Timing of meals, drinks, and supplements
- Whether certain foods or drinks seem to affect symptoms
- "On" times when symptoms feel well-controlled
- When and which symptoms appear during the day or night

One MyParkinsonsTeam member shared that after keeping a detailed journal, their doctor could quickly spot patterns and determine if any medication adjustments were needed — and encouraged them to keep it up!

Your doctor or neurologist's office may also offer phone or text reminders to help you stay on track. It's worth asking!
