Measuring Quality of Life in WM and Other “Tired” Topics with Dr. Shirley D’Sa

Friday November 22nd 11am EST / 4pm GMT

Join Dr. Shirley D’Sa to learn more about her involvement in recent research that uses wearable tech to measure the experience of living with WM. We’ll discuss what variables go into the measurement of quality of life, such as sleep quality, pain levels, and fatigue levels; and we’ll hear the conclusions drawn as a result of this research. Dr. D’Sa will also shed light on the relationships between anemia, fatigue, iron and energy levels as it relates to WM patients. Come with all your questions for Dr. D’Sa!
