How to use this worksheet
- Choose a start date and keep the sheet somewhere easy to reach.
- Record what you know; label uncertain times as approximate.
- Bring the sheet to your appointment with your main question.
Include days without headache so a blank space does not become an assumed pain-free day. A diary supports a conversation; it cannot determine a diagnosis.

The guidance below supports keeping a symptom history. The worksheet layout and examples are our own; they are not validated clinical questionnaires.
This is an organizational worksheet, not a diagnostic test or a treatment recommendation. Discuss new, changing or worrying symptoms with a clinician. Do not wait to complete a diary before seeking care.
