Symptom Diary

The more accurate the information you give your healthcare team, the easier it will be to find the treatment that works best for you. Keeping a symptom diary will help you and your healthcare team to improve your quality of life. A symptom diary will help you to note how you feel and any times that you forgot to take your medication, as well as any interventions/routines that appeared to provide more relief.
