Kayraymat,
Your idea of keeping a journal is a great idea and tool. It really helps you advocate for yourself and show your doctors, in real time mode, what is happening. Of, course you have to hope your doctor will even take a peek at it. But it can be a double edged sword too.
I have kept a medical journal for 16 years, 3 years after my two recreational accidents turned my life upside down, inside out. I was desperately hoping to find a connection between all the pains. I recently needed to find dates of occurrences for a new specialist..it was utterly overwhelming to see how bad and how long I have been a member of the walking dead. But, I did find my answers.

Shelly,
Thanks for the reply.
Yesterday I almost got rammed in the driver's seat by a
large white truck going 80 at least but it missed me by
a fraction, & made me think maybe I still have something
to do on this earth. I am laughing at myself for looking for "signs" but somehow it made a small dent in my depression
as did your kind reply. Look for signs 🙂
