Proper CH Log book

Hi, I'm new to this, not CH but the idea that I can actually do battle with it. I know I need to keep a CH log but I really don't know what one looks like. I've half heartedly tried to keep a log of my CH since first getting real meds (MaxAlt) this past October (the hits started about 9 yrs ago or so). At this point I'm just noting that I got a hit and that I took either 1/2 or a full MaxAlt tab. I don't record PF days. Should I be recording duration? Intensity (kip scale)? Shadows? All CH even if I don't take meds? I usually don't take anything till or unless I'm convinced it's going to be a bad one (I know, probably not a good idea). What else? What's a useful format, ledger style or narrative? I've seen a neuro only twice (then she left town? not sure if there's a connection), seeing a new one Monday. Basically, I want to keep the kind of log that is useful for a neuro that knows what she's dealing with.
Good news is my current cycle, which caused me to find this wonderful new family might be tapering off... I was PF 10pm - 4:30am last night (first time in 38 days). Either that or the Melatonin which I first learned about here on Saturday is starting to kick-in.

Mark,
The link Dape gave you is the best we have to go on so far. Download or print it out.
Crossing my fingers and toes as well as lighting one of my candles and saying a very strong prayer for you that this is the end of your cycle.
Linda

Thanks Dape & Linda - I have continued to search around and I found what looks like a detailed, maybe too detail, form on the clusterbusters site. Here's the link if anyone's interested.
