I was advised to start sending a monthly report to LTD but not sure what to include and to avoid the trappings of tmi. I cant afford to purchase any fancy software but would like to know from someone who has a method and works for them in this situation
If you have a smartphone, look into the iHeadache app. It is free and very user-friendly. I used it and found it very helpful. http://www.iheadache.com/
