A doctor-friendly tool for tracking and managing your chronic conditions and getting better outcomes.
Hello, I’m Chris!
I have EDS, ME/CFS, MCAS, POTS and a whole lot of other problems, so I created and refined this template over the years to improve my own outcomes with doctors - many of whom have often been extremely dismissive, invalidating, arrogant and bad with paperwork!
So how do we get them to listen????
We take responsibility for documenting, managing and tracking our full medical history ourselves and formatting it in a way that can be presented to doctors quickly and clearly so we're not explaining everything from scratch or relying on the doctor's own scattered notes.
You simply cannot afford to see a new or existing doctor and have your session time wasted because the doctor is dismissive or invalidating - or even worse, wasting the whole session explaining what you've already said before! When you walk in with cold, hard facts presented in a way that they can't ignore, it completely changes the way they engage with you.
I've seen well over 150 doctors over the decades and I've dealt with more invalidation than most people alive! This template gave me control and hundreds of other people have now had success with it too. If you want to just get on with it and get your entire medical picture into a document that just makes sense, you can purchase it now, or you can learn more further below!
A Medical History Tracking and Management Tool That Gets You Heard
Turn years of scattered records into a crisp summary your doctors can scan in seconds, so your appointment time is spent on decisions that matter. Download the template, fill it in once, email it ahead of your visit, and update it as you go. Walk in confident and get heard.
When you have a multitude of medical problems, no one properly keeps track of what’s going on with you. Every time you see a new doctor (or an existing one!), you end up wasting most of the session repeating your history and because doctors believe what they read more than what they hear, you end up getting invalidated or ignored! My template puts you back in the driving seat.
Yes, there are apps you can use to track your medical history, but they don’t present your history in a way that is doctor-friendly! The summary helps you walk into a doctor’s office with all your ducks in a row, quickly present your history, be understood and then move onto treatment options or better diagnostics.
I’ve seen well over 150 doctors and designed this template to be a living document which summarises everything that’s going on with you. It empowers both new and existing doctors to get an immediate grasp of your full history, by simply glancing at the summary. It presents your history in a way that’s quick and easy for your doctor to scan, and it puts the control back in your hands. It means that you will have comprehensive, but concise records of your journey, which you can share with your doctors, but also guide your own decision-making around the direction you need to go in.
Before the Template:
30+ minutes lost recapping history. Doctor misses overlaps (e.g., fatigue in ME/CFS, POTS and EDS) - a common frustration for patients with multiple chronic illnesses. You leave feeling dismissed, with no real progress.
After the Template:
Doctor scans it in seconds and understands your whole history. Your full visit is spent focusing on solutions. You walk out validated and one step closer to answers. Patients with chronic illnesses report this shift leads to more productive discussions on long-term management.
How It Works
The problem is that doctors trust written facts more than spoken words. This template solves that, with clear tables for diagnoses, symptoms, medications, allergies, surgeries, care team, and devices, so they grasp your full medical picture quickly. No more invalidation or starting from zero. Let your story finally work for you.
This is especially transformative for those navigating chronic illnesses with multiple overlapping conditions.

What Patients Are Saying
Hear from patients with chronic illnesses who've transformed their doctor visits:
"Chris's summary got my doctor to finally listen. It tied my comorbidities together so my doctor focused on real solutions and it was a total game-changer for my POTS care." – Sarah J.
"I was juggling EDS, fibromyalgia, and a bunch of mystery symptoms that no one could connect. Every specialist visit felt like starting from scratch, and I'd leave exhausted without real answers. This template changed that. I filled it out once, emailed it ahead, and my doc actually referenced the overlaps right away. We spent the whole time brainstorming next steps instead of me rambling." – Jacqueline F.
