Hi,
Unable to comment on the sharing feature as I've never used it. Second ? - no I wouldn't want to allow direct access to my doctor or nurse because of the way I use the notes facility to record what I consider to be personal information. If I want to match seizure frequency to mood changes or provide them with other significant information I've recorded - I print out a seizure report - cross reference with my notes and add in a few comments to the seizure report. Some people may want to allow direct access but I think it would depend on how you use the diary and your relationship with your doctor/nurse.
I do find the diary extremely useful and know it's really helpful for the medics trying to control my seizures. They seem to appreciate the information. From a personal point of view, I find it very helpful to keep track of what's going on: it enables me to provide fairly accurate information instead of a vague overview.

Hi Epi_help, Just a quick note that "Chrome" WebBrowser has been blocking some locations here as "malware" infested. The most stationary ones in concept searches are in the "Community Calendar" for May 2010 with suffixes including "nude" (as of June 11, 2010, 2:30 PM PDT). Tadzio
