Tracking your symptoms
It’s important to monitor how you’re feeling and what symptoms you’re experiencing. This way, if you notice them changing or getting worse, you can tell your Haematologist and explain how they are affecting you on a day-to-day basis.
And if they are getting better, then you will know that your treatment is working. You may want to consider using a pre-prepared form like the MPN-10 Tracker to measure and track your symptoms prior to each visit to your Haematologist.
