What if I have a chronic illness?
I designed Molly's Med Minder from the perspective of a person experiencing chronic illness. As a lupus patient, I have to visit numerous doctors and undergo frequent tests.

Will Molly's Med Minder come in handy when I visit the doctor?
Absolutely. You have all of your medical records at your fingertips. It is so helpful to have your history, medications, notes, symptoms, etc. with you when you visit the doctor.

Can Molly's Med Minder help me with immunizations?
How many times do you have to fill out forms asking when you received your immunizations? I can never remember when I received what immunization and now I just refer to my immunization chart.

What about making notes of doctors' recommendations and other conversations?
This is very important, especially when experiencing a chronic illness. You get so many different recommendations and questions arise all of the time for your different specialists. I use my Med Minder to record all of my recommendations and then track which ones I feel are most effective in managing my symptoms. It helps me to provide my doctor with accurate feedback and then we can work together to develop my best course of treatment.
