I have a very similar list -- it covers medications I've taken, dosage where I remember, dates I was on it, side effects, any other notes I can think of. I haven't got a list of history -- but only because I never thought of it. Now that you've suggested it, I'll be making one of those, too.
What's the response? Varies with doctor, but mostly it includes as thank you, since it saves time and makes a more accurate intake. The latest new pdoc for me made a joke about it showing that I'm obsessive-compulsive, but that was more as illustration: "this is the good side of being obsessive-compulsive." (I am, but there is are benefits to it...)
Anyway, I've never once had a pdoc say there was anything wrong with doing it. Mostly, if they don't thank me, they do say it saves time.
Let us know how it goes!
