Journals allow you to record your thoughts and feelings. Think of it as your personal, online diary. Share with the world, your friends, or keep it to yourself.

How do I create a journal?

How do I write an entry?

After you have created a journal, you may add an entry by clicking the “New Entry” link under the “Journals” link under the Applications section on the left of your My MedHelp page. You can add photos and MedHelp tickers to your entries.

Can I have multiple journals?

You can always add multiple journals to your profile. Simply click “Add a Journal” under the Journal application on your profile page. This allows you to group journals based on family member, medical condition, and calendar year.
