MS Tracker

[Quixotic1]

MedHelp has rolled out custom-trackers for many of the different forums.  You can check out trackers for Pregnancies, Ovulation, Weight Management, HIV treatment and cell counts.

I wanted to sound you guys out on a tracker or two for MS.

One part (or a separate tracker)  could be the prediagnostic process tracking onset of attacks and symptoms, marking diagnostic tests and their results, and doctors evaluations and assessments.

The second part (or a second tracker) would be following use of a DMD, documenting attacks, remissions, follow up doc visits, participation in clinical trials, MS walks, whatever.

Now, I haven't really investigated the whole thing, but if you guys think it would be provide some of you with a nice visual graphic of our progress toward diagnosis or our progress in slowing our relapses or MRI lesions then we can have MedHelp come and describe what we would need to do and maybe a few of you could work together to make us a custom tracker.  It could include any part of our experience, attitude, moods, symptoms, adaptations, experiences.

Give me your opinions and anyone who would like to help put this together.

To check out the current trackers, go to your own profile, and click on the tab "Trackers."  There are 10 or so listed and any kind of linear/time process can be documented.

ChitChatNine is one of the CLs for the Thyroid Forum and she just loaded the new thyroid disease tracker.  You can see it here:

A tracker is a "Visual Timeline" - a graphic representation of the events and stuff we have gone through.

Haven't been able to really look at how it works, or wrap my head around the concept yet, but with the 2 suggestions you mention here, I think I might better understand it's use a bit more. . . . .
