I usually always do.. just so I can save time at the doctors. I hate sitting in there in the stupid gown while he probes and ask questions.. so I just go in and get straight to the point and say, this/these are what I most likely have.. so write a prescription. 😀

If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

Ok and we should get back to the subject of self diagnosis...
I only did so once... and it was just to put a name on something I knew I had since I was born:
Sectoral heterochromia.

Quote from Dr. Love

Quote from Scyfon

also, there was an article of this lady in the National Geographic who had like..the most beautiful eyes ever. The looked like there were flowers inside a mixture of sky blue(base) and yellow(near the iris) but I don't think its the same condition >_>

I remember that.. 😲 I think.. It was about some beautiful girl with really pretty eyes.. They took a photo of her.. Then x years later, they were so intrigued about this girl..

That they went out to look for her.. Though I'm not sure if that's the same girl you meant..

I found it! Though it's not the original source, this one is better, quality and resolution wise clickity

Recently, I've self diagnosed myself to have Pityriasis rosea...well...it's similar, but not too extreme. I think it's caused by stress...or heat >_>

Quote from Meta

Ok our care system works like this: we can go to the doctor and get a checkup for free if its a serious surgery almost all of it is covered by health care. The long lines are in hospitals because you get idiots who sprained the thumb and go to a doctor, because its freaking free. But mostly you deal with your family doctor and the line is not long at all. The long lines are in big hospitals usually. Also the problem with the lines is that people book surgeries 6-8 months in advance. I think thats it mostly. Correct me if I'm wrong. So if its something your family doctor can handle then you have no problem whatsoever getting it done withing a day or two max. Only serious ailments take time to book for surgeries.

I believe it works like that for countries with publicly funded health care system (for example: the NHS in England) which is why we pay national insurance

I'd rather not know if I have some crazy disease. Actually, that's probably because I'm sur that I have none. So no.

I self-diagnosed myself with Chronic Tinnitus. It wasn't too hard. I realized when I was twelve that the ringing in my ears that I'd had my entire life was not normal and spent about three minutes googling it, and several more learning that usually it's caused by exposure to noise, though in some cases it can be genetics. It's genetics with me; I've had it as long as I can remember. It's always there, most noticeable in quiet environments, but even in a loud room, I can hear it, if nowhere near as well

I am the God of Freedom. I am not revered, I have no shrines; and you have never before heard of me nor will you ever hear of me again.

Ouch, that's pretty odd. Does this ever stop you from playing rhythm based games or listening to music?

Nowhere near; I am, in fact, an amateur musician!

All it stops me from getting is peace and quiet. I can't completely drown it out, but it gets fairly negligible when doing musical stuff. Furthermore, it's constant white noise, so it is both atonal (doesn't touch my notes!) and unable to interfere with percussive goods. Most musicians, I would venture, have even contracted tinnitus from noise damage, having played in bands (loud, in person) for so long.

Anyway, I don't have a big deal with it. I'm used to it. People are always surprised when they talk about how terrible their tinnitus is to them and I don't commiserate; still, having always had it, I guess I don't know what I'm missing.
Tinnitus itself is quite common, especially in this iPod era. What's uncommon is to have it nonstop and not from damage but from inheritance. That's all.

Nope, but had seen people do that ôÖ

Yeah many times when i'm curious of something.

I usually end up asking my sister first though. I know she gets her info from the internet, so sometimes it's easier just to ask her 🤣

A few times, but it was nothing major. I usually do for other people though, just so they have a better idea as to what to talk to the doctor about when they go.

I self diagnose myself based on my personal past history (basically, in the spring, it's probably not a cold, but allergies), but other than that, the closest I get is calling my mom (a nurse) and asking her what I have.

I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

Me: Performing Random Acts of Klutziness for over 30 years.

I have never fully self-diagnosed, because that would mean *knowing *what is wrong. But I am trying.

My doctors leave the research, and a large part of the experimental treatment, up to me. My case, far as we know, is totally unique in the medical world.

Maybe they'll name it after me, whatever "it" is...

i have heterochromia, my right eye is light brown and my left eye is dark green so it isnt that noticable, i also have anisocoria, my right pupil is abnormally large. my psychiatrist told me i have schizoid personality disorder but she doesnt want to diagnose me until im 18, and i also want to be a girl.

Concerning that last part, does that mean you'll push for a sex change operation or will you just cross dress? 😐

Yeah especially when they have commercials for new meds I'm like I have all those symptoms I need that pill. But then I realize I'm acting retarded and laugh @ myself. I did actually diagnose myself with real disease that I showed all the symptoms and it so sux when you are correct. But luckily caught it in time and now have it under control and its not as life threatening. Sad part when I want to have children I can't just get pregnant I have to plan it and see specialist so I don't go into renal failure or undo risks to my future kids. Damn diabetes.
