Self-diagnosis

[cgilsing]

I was just thinking back about how close I was to figuring out what was wrong with me years before the medical professionals did! Did anyone come close to figuring it out on there own? When I was still in high school I worked part time at Jimmy Johns and part time at a vets office. I realized that every night after eating my dinner at Jimmy Johns I was too sick to work. I just thought that I'd eaten too many JJ sandwiches and my body was sick of it I used to just eat the meat and cheese without the bread because I had figured out that if I left the bread out I didn't get sick. Plus my hands were so broke out with DH it hurt to pick anything up...I just thought it was from the cleaning products at the vet A few years later I tried going on the low-carb diet because I thought maybe my bloating was just me getting fat. After just a few days I was much better....so I deduced that I was allergic to potatoes Anybody else have similar moments of near insight?

The doctors never figured out what was wrong with me, I had to figure it out all on my own, and I did.

Consulted with 3 different doctors and got examined by one of the head-doctors at the local hospital.

It was the same story with my other diseases, such as migrane and astma, I figured these two out myself after A LOT of research, these two I got confirmed by specialists, unlike my coeliac.
