I have gone to doctors several times to find out what is causing the extreme pain at times I get in the right side back of my head,it is always there,the pain will go from a 1 to 30 in the blink of an eye,everything stops till it subsides.No one has been able to tell me what is happening.Well,I started researching and came up with"Occipital Neuralgia",every symptom I experience,that is what causes it. I'm sure through much testing and MONEY I would have found that out,I found out for free.

GOD Bless

Yes, I self diagnosed an allergy to sulphites and sulfur after getting really sick eating some shrimp salad back in the 80's. It took awhile to find out what was going on, with lots of experimentation, but it has saved my life. I fortunately haven't had even a moderate allergy attack since about the year 2000. And that was with peanut butter! I became allergic to nuts or nut products about that time! Have been avoiding nuts ever since then.

I do it all the time. First thing I back check after getting ill is what I ate in the few days before illness. In many cases, it's food that's the problem. Had headaches for decades, and finally started eliminating things from my diet...found out I'm allergic to milk, and some other dairy products. Stopped drinking milk, and eating uncooked cheese, and headaches 95% gone. For chronic problems it's best to start eliminating things from your diet, one at a time, for two weeks. A person will soon find out if they have a food allergy of some kind.

Yep, I'm the one responsible for my health, a Dr. is just a paid consultant. Physicians Desk Reference (available @ most libraries) is a great help.

The Merck manual available from Amazon at modest price is the Cadillac of self-treatment. at first you have problems with medical terms, but I have been at this since around 1980 and have learned a lot.

Survived SIBO and full oxygen blocking from a pulmonary embolism in 2015, and Covid last August with no doctor involved. Last time I went to a doctor was around 5 years ago, I had never had a parasite infection before, now I know. last week my b.p. was 116/? with no meds.

My work for 31 years was as a diagnostician in a high tech electronic factory. If you are an experienced diagnostician and can get your hands on the differential diagnosis chart for medical issues, it isn't hard.

I even showed a 30+ year doctor how to save his life. I discovered he had intermittent claudication and expected to die. I showed him atkins and the issue went away in less than a month. He admitted there was no standard treatment for i.c. now he has one.

i could say thats ur fault u went to the doctors too. how much money did it wind up costing u ? and nuthing got resolved. thats how i feel going to shrinks and psychologists for 10 years. and look where my life is as a result. doctors dont know everything. but do u think they will tell u or me that ? i would have loved to hear a doctor say i dont know what is wrong with u but i'll give u some pills for whatever i dont know is wrong with u.

You have a spiritual sickness they treated with pills burning your brain out.

He is gonna suggest you listen to his bs tapes which are hypnosis. Personally I dont allow another person to control my thoughts.
