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!
