Everyone has a different journey. For those people who have spent years, decades, thousands of dollars, on doctors and not gotten any improvement out of it, self medication is a logical next step for thousands or millions of people. Happens all the time in psychiatry, lyme, fibromyalgia, CFS, and other diseases. By the time someone decides to self medicate, they have usually become enough of an expert at that time to know how to responsibly do it. I am not in support of it or against, just saying.....reality is what it is, life is what it is, each person has to do what feels right to them in their own journey. Me, I've been a self medicator for a long time, sometimes recruit the help of my nurse for ideas and scripts, and honestly I've made way more progress over the years that way than I ever did with an army of MD specialists.
