Why should I track my symptoms before a C&P exam?

A C&P examiner rates the impact of your condition, often based on a single appointment. A running log of severity and how symptoms affect your daily life, including your bad days, gives the examiner and your VSO concrete evidence instead of relying on memory.

Is my symptom data private?

Yes. This tracker stores everything on your own device in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account. When you are ready, you export a PDF yourself.

Does the symptom log replace a doctor?

No. It is your own record of symptom severity and impact, not a medical diagnosis. You still need a current diagnosis from a provider, and a free VSO can help you file.

This was a bad day — I couldn't function normally (this is what drives your rating)

Log your first symptom above. Do it on your bad days too — those are the ones the exam needs to see.

This is your own private record, stored on this device only (no account, nothing leaves your browser). Log honestly, including the bad days you would normally push through, because that impact — and how often it happens — is what a C&P examiner rates. When your exam is close, export the PDF and bring it, or hand it to your free VSO. It is a record of severity and frequency, not a medical diagnosis.
