Prior to your consultation it would be useful, if you could fill out some days of this diary. Keeping this diary will also show if your symptoms are cyclical in nature and related to your menstrual cycle. For each symptom use a scale from 1 to 3 (mild to severe). It will give a representational overview of your symptoms. Please leave those boxes blank that are not relevant to you, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
