Print out list of symptoms with dates for doctors appointments

Being able to save your symptom history or print, just a way of having a list with dates of your symptoms to be able to give to your doctor to show them instead of just showing them graphs etc would be amazingly helpful!

    Is it possible to print lists? Like medicines taken or dates and symptoms?

    Yes please! I prep for doc appts by taking a ton of screenshots of various graphs and calendars in Bearable, which is very time-consuming.

    Or even just save them to email

    The current reports are not particularly useful to medical personal. The only report my doctor understand is “days with symptom”, and this is hidden inside the symptom details. I would need a table of every symptom and counts per severity and day. My doctor could tell immediately how often something went wrong last month. Add comparison with last time frame and it would be perfect. I’m compiling this list manually at the moment, but it’s much work. The numbers and diagrams bearable is showing are great for the user but not useful to others because they could mean very different things depending on the way the app is used.

    Also List of medications Prescribed Taken (when) Retain old information on medications, while being able to add/ subtract new.

    This would be extremely helpful to me. Sharing health info with my care team is one of my two main reasons for using this app and, currently, it isn’t very easy to do.

    Printing anything would be helpful, but especially reports. Unfortunately, I’ve temporarily had to switch to another app that allows generation and saving of reports using any timeframe. I’ll be back to Bearable as soon as possible, but the audit trail is extremely important when applying for disability.

    Hello, which app did you switch to? I also really need exportable reports. Thanks!

    @Angela - look for a “Functional Medicine” doctor, their approach can sometimes help when you’re exhausted other options. Make sure they’re a real MD though, and keep your GP informed. If your GP isn’t willing/interested in the information, find another one who is.

    I am very fortunate to live in one of the medical capitals in the US.

    Also, being able to generate queries by specific symptom, and break it down by delineated time periods would be incredibly helpful too.

    Like, say, generate a report of number of migraines per month over the last year. Or, per week over the last quarter.

    Because while I may track all my symptoms, sometimes I just want to talk about one.

    And being able to export that to a pdf (like ‘print to pdf’ kind of thing) so it can be emailed or printed or whatever is needed from there would be amazing.

    Added bonus if there was some kind of nothing of the time of day.

    To be able to export a PDF file of symptoms over the course of 30 days that could show some correlations like worse day after gym or better when high hydration would be absolutely amazing. One of the main takeaways from this app for me is being able to monitor, track, and be made aware of how my body reacts to medications, activity, and my ongoing symptoms. To be able to show these to my doctors at visits in a more managed way vs me just writing them up and/or showing them the app would be incredibly helpful.

    I’ve been using the app for almost a year, since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s. It’s been invaluable as a health journal and symptom tracker!

    However, the app’s much less useful to my care team. (Apparently, the graphs are only intuitive to users of the app.) So, to prepare for my next doctor’s visit, I’ve had to pull the info from dozens of screenshots. To get an overview of my symptoms and side effects, I spent the last week making bullet journal spreads that I will now use to make a timeline of the last year, which I will then give to the neurologist.

    Whew! Exporting some basic reports would really be a game changer!
