Chronic Health Journal

Chronic Health Journal cover

This journal was designed to allow someone with chronic health problems to track their day-to-day experiences so they can better share them with the appropriate doctor(s).  The fields have been geared into sections to help the user keep consistent types of information from day-to-day so that they, and their doctor can hopefully spot trends and correlations.


Softcover Book


The Journal covers six months, and is broken into two parts – the cover pages, and the journal pages.  The cover pages include contact info, doctor(s),  scheduled and PRN meds, allergies, etc.  The journal pages are a record of daily activity.  At the end of each week, there is a notes page for general thoughts, scribblings to and from your doctor, or anything else that doesn’t really fit as a daily thing.

Please check out the Amazon “Look Inside” or the free PDF version below to make sure it suits your needs before ordering.


PDF Version

The PDF journal is two files, mirroring the contents of the book. The “Cover” page is intended to be printed out once, and can be filled in either by hand or electronically.  The journal pages are one week’s worth of journal, including the notes page.  The intent is that the cover pages can be printed once, and the journal pages as necessary. Both are set up to be printed double-sided, and margins are wide enough for a three-ring binder, comb-bind, spiral-bind, etc.

There is also a single-page PDF form journal page for those that would rather type than write.
