Tracking seizures, sleep, etc..

[Heavy Kevy]

I’m guessing most people have a journal they track their seizures in. I’ve been using the Nile app and it’s been good.
My question is what else do you track? I’m adding a note on how I sleep at night.

My energy levels don’t always match my sleep. I’m considering tracking days by how I’m feeling. Some days I just don’t have the desire to even do something that I enjoy. Mentally tired is my diagnosis
Tracking diet is another idea.

I've been using notepad for writing my diary. I built a directory named Epilepsy where I can note when an absence takes place of time, date and any side effects. I do have another directory called Meeting Notes that I enter any questions for the next clinic visit or I will enter notes from the visit I want to keep in mind like medication changes taking place. The smart phone has been a helpful item for me to keep notes since I carry it everywhere.

Thanks Suebear, I may try using notepad.
I did laugh at my simple idea of using something similar to the pain chart. Just a simple emoji

Hello.
I prefer to use an actual notebook to record everything about my seizures. I've been using the same one for a LONG time--it's one of those Five Star notebooks, with a vinyl cover & spiral that is covered with fabric. It is smaller than the typical 8" by 11" notebook--it is 7" by 10".
I record the day, time/length and type seizure I had. If it was a complex partial & witnesses were there, I ask them to give me as much info as possible. If I realize that a complex partial occurred while I was alone, I note any injuries & differences that I see. At least 2 or 3 times I've actually changed my clothes during them!
