Why Is It Important to Keep a Symptom Log?

There are several reasons you might wish to keep a symptom log – to aid in diagnosis, to help you and your doctor to make decisions about treatment, and to help you spot patterns and triggers.

Diagnosis & Treatment Decisions

Writing down the symptoms you are experiencing can help you and your doctor reach decisions about your care. Whether it is treatment for a relapse, a flare-up of symptoms due to an infection, or managing specific MS symptoms such as fatigue or visual problems, having a written record of what happened and when can be helpful.
Keeping a record also helps you and your doctor decide whether medications are effective or need changing. If things get better, stay the same, or get worse after a medication change or starting a supplement everyone needs to know. A log will also help you track side effects from medications you take. All this information helps you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about treatment. This journal allows you to keep all your notes and questions together and to share them easily when you go to appointments.

Patterns & Triggers

Noting what was going on around the time that symptoms happened may help you spot patterns and identify potential triggers. It may be that poor sleep, a change in the temperature or a day of high activity have contributed to a flare up. Identifying triggers could help you find ways to manage your symptoms, or to see if anything you are trying is helping or making things worse. There are sections to record your activity, how many hours you slept, the weather and temperature each day, and blank spaces to record anything that is useful to you.

Make record keeping one less thing to worry about by keeping all your information together in a journal specifically designed for multiple sclerosis management.
