The courage to self treat.

Having someone I know well and love deciding to self treat AMA (Against Medical Advice) I came to realize in a different way that it takes great courage to make the leap to self inject and continue to self treat.

It is scary and if one experiences symptoms get worse that adds to the fear as one continues to self inject.

Then there is the natural fear of having symptoms return once again. Which is a factor when trusting healing.

I too were worried about self injecting. Let me tell you, I have not looked back!! I’m taking my own health back, instead of relying on the medical profession. Enough is enough with the yo-yo, misinformation and inconsistent and misleading information from the doctors. I inject every day and do not regret it one bit.

It is only a bit nerve wracking at the start but, before long you will be a pro at it.

If I'd had my wits about me when a GP started lecturing me about "Dr Google" I'd have said, "well I have to look online, you're not doing anything for me!"
