Chronic illness support

Keep your symptom history together, even when conditions overlap.

Tracking with more than one condition

Start with what you notice: the symptom, its timing, severity and effect on your day. You do not have to decide which condition caused it to keep a useful record.

Some conditions share symptoms. Dizziness on standing is common with POTS and is also one of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome symptoms. Flushing, hives and stomach cramps together can point to mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and tiredness and feeling cold are common with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Other conditions overlap too. Joint pain and morning stiffness are shared by arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Gut symptoms come with IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and gastroparesis. Pain is central to fibromyalgia, chronic pain, CRPS, migraine and endometriosis, and fatigue to ME/CFS, long COVID, lupus, Sjögren’s and MS. PCOS and endometriosis are easier to read when symptoms are lined up with your cycle. For Hashimoto’s, our guides to Hashimoto’s symptoms and the Hashimoto’s diet go deeper.

Fictional example: Alex lives with Long COVID and migraine. Alex records a headache and fatigue on the same day, notes the time and what activities were difficult, and leaves the cause uncertain. Those observations can become questions for an appointment, rather than a new diagnosis.
