Hello,
At another site I'd found there is a symptoms checklist with radial buttons as part of their journaling. I'm not really on that site much (because everyone here is much more involved) but I was wondering if anyone knew of an iPad or iPhone app that had a radial type of checklist system for symptoms. I don't always feel like typing, but I can click a button to keep track of things. LOL

I made a word doc tailored to me.
I made a list of my symptoms across the top (in a grid) made a 0-5 scale so I could just checked them off each day.
This way you can add new ones at will. I also had a pain scale for multi parts of the day and when I took pain pills
I also had a sleep in between the days how many hours how many times up through the night and so on
I do have a spot for notes if something has to be explained
I so at the end of the month
I went across the page and listed how many days of x symptom and how bad
it helped to keep track of how good.bad the month had been
also I had a page of the monthly totals on the front page when I went the docs and the other pages behind it has been my experience that my ms doc takes the whole package he likes the first pg he says it saves time and if he wants to see more detail he can
he loves it
for me it is better than any app I find it either does not have the symptoms I have or does not explain it good enough it is better to list just your symptoms and you can take it to your doc
(just my opinion )
the way I do it for most days you just have to type a few numbers
hope this helps

I could not put in "my symptoms" in
and to me the worst part is it sends all info you put in to the app makers I just do not want my personal info out there
there is more I do not like but I will not go on
I think, what the thing with the .doc idea is that I'd have to try to remember everything that's going on, remember to write it down, and go through all the editing of either bringing it up to date or adding something new. Normally, I wouldn't shy from such a task but I think I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, of late. LOL
I appreciate all the input and will keep on looking. Hopefully someone brilliant (I'm sure I've eluded to someone brilliant and wanting to help us ;) ) will see this post and create something even more phenomenal. :)
