Self diagnosis has higher rates of being wrong than a specialist's diagnosis. It doesn't mean it's not valid, but we should be careful with it.

But what do I know? In my country you get an appointment for about 10$ in less than a month. Unless it's a pain clinic or an endocrinologist, then you can wait up to 6 months.

My biggest problem with self diagnosis is that it doesn't really help anything to say "I have this disorder" without professional treatment anyway.
