It's very important to keep track of the first dose of your medications even the last one dose of every medications you have. Every time your dr change your treatment. It will be very useful every time you get a new dr.

I thought that keeping a running journal is basically all anyone does right here on this platform?🤔

But according to this AI-generated response here, people should -- "Talk to your doctor" first before grabbing a pen.😂

So maybe the question should be to ask if anyone here talked to their doctor first before joining the club...🫤

Does anybody journal their psoriasis journey?

Yes, many people with psoriasis find journaling helpful for managing their condition. Keeping a symptom diary can help you and your healthcare team monitor symptoms, identify triggers, and anticipate flares based on your daily activities.

Some specific ways people journal their psoriasis journey include:

- Tracking daily symptoms like itching, stinging, bleeding, and joint pain
- Recording everything you eat and drink to identify food triggers
- Noting what your worst days are like and how psoriasis affects your ability to do daily tasks
- Documenting both physical and emotional impacts of the condition

Clinical tools like the Psoriasis Symptom Diary and Psoriasis Symptom Inventory have been developed specifically for this purpose. You can also use paper trackers, smartphone apps, or simple notebooks.

A MyPsoriasisTeam member shared advice about documenting their journey: "Note what it's like on your worst days. I know a lot of people feel like it's disingenuous, but it's really important because your bad days are what most affect your ability to work."

Another member mentioned, "I'm testing out my triggers," showing how journaling helps identify patterns in their condition.

Talk to your doctor about whether keeping a daily diary might benefit you in preventing flare-ups and managing your psoriasis more effectively.
