Who this is for
Anyone tracking a recurring symptom, migraines, gut issues, flare-ups, to spot patterns and brief a doctor accurately.
The moment this saves you
At the appointment the doctor asks “when did it start, how often, what makes it worse?” and I blank, because every episode blurred together and I never wrote any of it down.

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Headache again today, started around 2pm, it's that same spot behind my right eye. It's maybe a 6 out of 10. I think it might be screen related, I'd been on calls back to back since noon with no break. I took ibuprofen around 3 and it took the edge off but didn't kill it. This is like the third one this week. I did skip lunch today which I wonder about.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to describe a symptom or how I'm feeling physically. Turn it into a factual, dated symptom log entry with labeled lines: a bold "Symptom log, [today's date]" heading, then Symptom, Onset (when it started), Severity (use a /10 if I give one), Possible triggers noted (only things I actually mention or wonder about, phrase them as noted, not confirmed causes), Relief (what I tried and whether it helped), and Frequency (only if I mention how often it happens). Record only what I say. Do NOT diagnose, do NOT give medical advice, and do NOT assert causes, just log what I report. Output only the entry.
