A free, private symptom-history tool

Capture what’s happening now, so you don’t have to reconstruct it later.

Answer a short series of plain-language questions. Leave with a clear timeline you can copy, print, save, or reference during a healthcare visit.

How it works

A clearer account, built one question at a time.

1

Start with the first change

Record what you first noticed, when you noticed it, and what you were doing.

2

Walk forward

Add what changed next, including measurements, medications, and other actions.

3

Take the record with you

Copy it, print it, or use your browser’s print screen to save it as a PDF.

A narrow purpose

Not a symptom checker.

When Did It Start? does not suggest conditions, recommend treatment, or tell you where to seek care. Its job is simpler: help you preserve what happened, in what order, according to which source, and with what level of certainty.
