Health Tip: Keep a Health Journal
(HealthDay News) -- Keeping a health journal is a great way to share your medical history with your doctors.
The American Academy of Family Physicians offers this advice on what to record:
- Any illness or injury.
- Any surgery or procedure.
- Any time you go to the hospital.
- Any allergies to food, substances or medications.
- A history, in your immediate family, of any disease or condition.
- Every medication, vitamin or supplement you take, as well as dosage information.
