In organizing the med list, I list the problem (like for instance,
Spasms) and list the meds and times under that (like trileptal)
I also, if I have to go into the hospital, make sure that they give the
meds on MY schedule, if needed to manage my spasms and pain. If you've
worked years to get it r ight, you don't want to get it out of whack
cos you are in hospital.

When I think of everything I've gone through
the last 2.5 years, I think your idea is great for me too. I have the
list of my medications (and what they're for) and doses but I will ask
for a chronology report tomorrow.
Thank you!

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.

I carry a list of my
meds and those that Frank takes in my billfold at all times....and give
one to each doc on every visit.........(organized or
compulsive?)........anyway, this makes it easier both for the doc and
for us......and in an emergency, i.e: when
we had to call Air Evac to fly in at the farm (400 miles from home) to
pick Frank up and get him to the hospital it came in REALLY handy!!
Also as the docs change meds or dosages it's easy to update as I keep
it all on my computer (and his)!
Just another way that I try to make our medical lives easier....
