It is a practice by many people to have self medications when they feel bad.I think they just do it because most physicians recommend the same prescriptions to their patients and thereby why go to them when the same medicines are still given.Practical
instincts is always given a choice especially when you are having too much finances.I
sometimes do it and with the help of my laboratory test to verify my previous results and its equivalent medications.I just ask the doctor if I do it right.I still go to my doctor for a different consultation.

I use to take medicines with no consultant..Sometimes if i can't be overcome it i can consult and have medicines..Sometimes people will force you to do it go to doctor if your sickness is long time and not yet cure..

I just do not consult my doctor when I have fever yet when it comes to my hypertension,I will not hesitate of going to my doctor.It is really risky when your body system is in question.I first have a blood chemistry check-up then I go to my doctor to have a thorought study of my body so that he can prescribe the proper medicine for my sickness.I have actually tried to use crystals before but not for healing internal diseases.I use crystals for massage purposes for a very brief time.I
could feel its effectiveness after its use.Others suggested me to put the crystals in a glass of water so it can heal some internal malfunctions of the body yet I did not do it because I still believe in my doctor.

I think that if you think that something serious is wrong then you should go to see a doctor because people often get serious problems with their health if they've been ignoring things that have been wrong. One of the things that is bad about the internet is the fact that you can read a lot of things about your symptoms and what could possibly be wrong with you. It's very scary sometimes, so it's normally best just to go see a professional doctor in a surgery to at least put your mind at rest if nothing else.

You are correct there my friend and still I go to my doctor.There are a lot of information we can get from the internet and also with the numerous medical books.I am a wide reader and suf a lot in the internet.I hate too much knowledge that sometimes it is too boring to know everything yet we have all the resources.

If there is any common problem like cold or fever or something then we can choose our own medication but it cannot work for the diseases.
I don't visit to the doctor I just visit any medicine shop and ask for the medication for this problem. People are getting smarter now, they now what will work for them and what will not. Business with people minds is hard now.

Self medications is not recommend cause sometimes it will worsen the illness so consulting a doctor is the best way.We do have a health card now from the company that's why I regularly consult a doctor if I feel something wrong.Thank God nothing seems to serious.

as i am from the same field, i first do self medication as i know the right medicine for the infection along with the right doses. but if my problem isn't cured in a day or two or if it is worsening, i do go to specialist of that particular field. then there is no option left. i can not be experimenting with my own family and my health.

I also tend to visit a doctor for consultation about my health. Since my mother is a nurse I tend to ask him what medicine could I take even I don't have visited the doctor for any consultation it just end up asking her what medicine should I take to lessen the pain or effects of any disease or illness i experience.
But it is recommended that we must visit annually our doctor to avoid serious problem and also we can prevent serious illness by knowing it as soon as possible.

For my daughter and other family members health we go to a doctor for check up every once in a while.Its hard to prescribe for ourselves cause we are not doctors by profession.We also believe that a doctor knows much more than we know.Why risk your families health ,its better be safe than sorry.
