Why do I need to use the tool for two months? 

We understand that two months is a long time, and that many people have been struggling with their symptoms for months or years. We recommend two months because your doctor will be trying to identify a pattern of symptoms. You may also find it helpful to see how your symptoms change over the month. For example, do you feel worse at certain times, such as during your period?  

Having information about your symptoms across two months will help you and your doctor make decisions together about your care.
