Tracker limitations

[AireScottie]

Well, I'm just a questioning fool today :)  I'm setting up my trackers, and know that some of you have lots of experience!  Is there a way to enter multiple BP or temperature readings for one day?  For instance, if your temp is both too low and too high in one day, what do you do?  Or if you have multiple episodes of really low BP before passing out and normal BP in between, how do you record that?

Good to know!  Will try it.

I just figured out that I can add more than one of a kind of tracker to my group.  So, I am putting in a morning and afternoon BP Tracker.  Bad news is that I can't view a graph with multiple daily readings, but I can track trends by period of the day.  Maybe that will help you also.

I was wondering about a dysautonomia tracker.  Thanks for the info.

Seems as if the more flexibility the better for those of us with Dysautonomia, since the symptoms are so varied and the symptom list is so long.  I just went through to look and I have 2 pages of trackers in order to keep a record of all I want to keep track of.  Wish they had a make your own tracker available.  Something where we could pick and choose what is useful for us.

Like you all, I want to be able to keep track of the symptoms by the hour because mine change daily, and I would like to look for patterns by time of day as well as by day and or event.

I think I will see if anybody knows of an extensive personal medical tracker that could be on my desktop if not on a med site.

Thanks for the thoughts!  I already asked them for an add-on for salivary gland swelling (from the Sjogren's), but I don't know if there are enough of us with temperature or BP fluctuations to make it worthwhile to ask for changes.

I have trouble with multiple readings as well.  I currently use my morning readings for my tracker, then if I have something to add I will do so in my journal.  That seems to work fairly well for me.  If you have suggestions for current or future trackers, you can make these suggestions in the MedHelp Suggestions Community.

Also, there will be a new Dysautonomia Tracker available soon which should help you to keep track of your symptoms.  Heiferly and I are both very excited about this!!!  :)
