I am going to make a couple of journals, one for medications I take, and ones, I’ve taken that I can’t take and the reasons why. Over the years, I’ve tried so many biologic medications to stop the progress of rheumatoid arthritis, and I’ve had bad reactions to them. My current rheumatologist, (I’ve had a lot of them in the 40+ years I’ve had arthritis) will ask me if I have taken certain medications, and the name will sound familiar, but I can’t remember if I’ve taken them before, or if I’ve heard the name on television ads. The point of this journal is to make a list of all the medications I can remember taking so in the future if a doctor asks me about specific drugs, I can look in this alpabetic journal and tell them if I have or haven’t taken that one before.

I’ve been watching Amy Plans Things on YouTube and love how her journals are works of art. I have bought a lot of things she uses to make a second journal to record things like how many grams of protein I’m consuming in a day and how much water I’m drinking, as well as making myself a game of the books I’m reading and will explain this in the journal video I’ll be making in the future. The reason I’m concentrating on protein is that it’s necessary for healing and with this big surgery coming up, I want to be prepared physically for it.

Here are links to the products in the video. I’m not affiliated with Temu, I just like to buy things from them when they’re cheaper there and they’re not stamp sets or dies that originated with USA artists. Jere are the orders I placed. Most of the items purchased will go into making journals:
