I do the same, Jan.  Getting to be a dang long list... The other thing I do is make a "problem list"  which your doc can help you with. It's a list of diagnoses with the dates the diagnoses were made. Also lists surgeries and dates, immunizations and dates, allergies, and any other major events in health that I want to be sure any doc should know if I get sick and need to remember at the time.  I print the med list on one side and the problem list on the other; date the changes and print a new page each time one is made; so I have each year's record of what went on. Boy, has it helped over the years! The docs and nurses are very glad to see it.

Just another way that I try to make our medical lives easier.... janh  Stillwater, OK
