S1E22: Symptom Tracking with MS: Part 1

What comes to mind when you think of a Symptom Tracker?

If I'm keeping it real, I think of it as yet one more thing to do.

One more thing to add to my list of things that I need to do because I have MS.

I think of it as something that takes more time away from my day.

And why am I doing it?

Just to have a tangible reflection of life with MS?

That sounds depressing.

And it gives me zero motivation to start a symptom tracker, let alone be consistent with one.

And yet, I'm about to start one back up again.

Not because it's something that I "should" do.

But because I stepped outside of the box and took a bit of a non-traditional approach so it was something that worked for me.

I created my own tracker and I'm sharing a free copy with you.

And this discussion is actually going to be a two part series.

Today's episode is all about trackers - what to track, why you use them and what to do with the information.

In the next episode I'm going to talk about my personal best practices for tracking and what the process has looked like for me over the years including the times when I was in a groove and the times when I completely fell off the bandwagon.

And I'll also share with you how you can get a copy of my personal tracker for free at alenebrennan.com/tracker.
