SELF DIAGNOSIS: Should I Research My Symptoms?
I wanted to talk about self diagnosis and researching your symptoms because I have seen a lot of people questioning the validity of their place in the chronically ill community because they do not have a formal diagnosis from their doctor. I felt this imposter syndrome before I got my formal diagnosis, as well. WE KNOW OUR BODIES and should be able to bring up a possible diagnosis with a doctor or a friend without being called a "diagnosis shopper" or a hypochondriac.
