Findings: Ten symptoms were categorized by more than
20% of the participants as “very much” or “quite a bit.” The
mean QOL score for the participants was higher than that
for a healthy population, although a correlation was found
between fewer symptoms and higher QOL. Mood swings
and irritability were the symptoms most strongly associated
with a decrease in QOL. Patients who exercised had higher
QOL scores.
