Customers praised this health tracking tool for helping manage chronic conditions with comprehensive features for symptoms, appointments, medications, and self-care. "Everything you need for keeping track of illness," one noted. While loved for its quality, design, and ease of use, some wish for more daily med tracking space, additional pages, and a larger size option.

This medical journal allows you to track your symptoms on a daily basis while keeping the big picture in mind of how you are progressing. It also has a designated place for appointment notes and provider information. I have brought this journal with me into several appointments and it has been very helpful. The size is also proportionate so its easy to tote around.

Bought this to keep track of my sister’s appointments and related health stuff since i started taking care of her and it was soo useful the past year that i bought another for this next year and i got another for my mon to use. I use the weekly notes section that follow the monthly calendar to keep track of phone calls and appointment notes and i feel like it’s a lot of room for this use. I love the stickers that come with it and my sister and i like to decorate the upcoming month with the affirmation ones. We have even received compliments from other people in waiting rooms and the doctors and nurses themselves when i give them the planner with the pages that lists her medications or for her other drs; they end up taking pictures of her planner to show other people. I did add two tabs to easily open the medical summary and medical contacts so that would be kind of cool to see in a future update since it makes it fast to whip out for dr visits. Love this planner:)

An extremely high quality book and a guide that is well worth the money. I bought one for my boss who is also on a chronic health journey!

I love this! I think it's great but I wish there was more space to track meds daily. Super cute and love the stickers

I like having a place to track symptoms and times where things are going well. I do wish it had more cover options. I only like the floral, but using the same one every year since it's undated isn't as much fun. This is CHRONIC, so let's get another cover or two or change them out!

I purchased this to help me on my mental health journey to keep track of all my appointments, medication, and side effects. I love that the planner is ambiguous enough to be used as a chronic illness planner or a mental health planner. Will definitely be buying another next year
We are so glad that we are able to support and empower you on your journey. This planner has an extra special place in our hearts and we hope that you know we are cheering you on!

I'm starting a mental health journey this year and needed something to keep track of all my symptoms, medications, appointments, side effects, etc. I love that this planner is designed for chronic illness tracking but is able to be easily used to track mental illnesses as well. I will definitely be buying another next year!

I will forever buy these chronic illness planners. They’re amazing, and cute, but I can also say, without exaggerating, these planners saved my life.
These planners have a plethora of resources, trackers, and exercises. My favorite, though, is the “Letter to Me” page where on a good day, you write a letter to yourself on a bad day.
It is because of this page, when I went into the worst mental health crisis that I’ve had to date, I was able to read that page and I’m still here. It saved my life, not once… twice. So much so, that I carry a picture of that page with me wherever I go.
This planner is great for chronic illnesses and physical disabilities (which I originally bought it for), but as I learned, it can be a lifesaver if you struggle with SI or other mental illnesses.
Thank you, BloomPlanners. 💕

I have two complaints:
-The coloring pages should not be double-sided (maybe have the last page of the month be a coloring page)
-February should have 1 less page. (it threw me completely off, because I didn't want empty spaces)
Otherwise:
I absolutely love this planner! I suddenly have POTS, and my life has changed so much. It's perfectly sized, and has everything I need to track and make sure I'm taking care of myself. I hope they make it available digitally <3
Hi Jane! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate you calling out what you loved and where things felt frustrating. Just to add a little context on February, all months in this planner include five undated weekly views intentionally. Even in shorter months like February, the calendar can sometimes fall in a way where that extra week is needed, and we wanted to make sure no one ever runs out of space mid-month. That said, we completely understand how that could feel off, and your notes are really helpful as we think about future versions. We’re also so glad to hear the planner has been supportive for you, especially while navigating POTS and such a big life shift. That means more to us than you know. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for the kind words. Wishing you continued care, steadiness, and ease as you move forward on your journey - the bloom team

I ordered the chronic illness planner for myself and for my chemo buddy with the extra inspirational stickers and was quite pleased. I’m especially enjoying being able to personalize it. My only critique is I wish it was 8-1/2 by 11 in size. Thank you for offering such a unique planner.

It’s my third time buying the chronic illness planner because ever since it was made it’s become my go-to. I love having a place i can do my regular planning but also track my health stats and appointments. The design is really well-done and it’s very clear it was made with intention and inclusion.

I got this for a loved one who is so thrilled to have it and plans to start using it right away! They have used this planner in the past and got a lot of value out of it. Well worth the price!

Super thrilled to start using this come January. My husband has always had a hard time keeping things like symptom journals because they're overwhelming for the amount of energy he usually has, but when he took a look at this one he got really excited at the ease of use. Design is beautiful, sections are clearly demarkated, and the text is all easy to read.

I really love this planner! I have multiple chronic conditions and this planner helps me keep track of everything. I love the space to take notes about doctor's appointments. I used that just yesterday. Having my planner with me at appointments makes me feel more prepared to best represent myself to my doctor and to take accurate notes. I am so happy I purchased this planner. Thank you for making it!

I L🫶:skin-tone-5:VE this planner!
I’m :star:️Xtra:star:️, so I enhanced my planner with:
☞ an Explosion Card with Affirmations
☞ a double-sided pocket tipped-in
☞ journal cards inside pockets
☞ “Daily Meditation” as tip-in
☞ “Gratitude Log” & “30 Days of Gratitude” as double sided tip-in
☞ floral stickers on pages
I am looking forward to using this well thought out planner to document about my multiple chronic illnesses. The public library of FREE printables and downloads is AHH-Ma-ZING!
