FAQ
What if I have symptoms in several categories?
That is common. Start with the 2 or 3 clusters affecting daily life the most.
Do I need to track every symptom at once?
No. Grouping helps you stay consistent without overlogging.
Why are categories better than random notes?
They make patterns easier to review and easier to explain during follow-up.
How Stabilize helps
Stabilize makes it easier to track symptom clusters side by side, so temperature, sleep, mood, urinary, and cycle patterns all stay on one timeline.
