this might be an extremely unpopular and controversial opinion, but the solutions are gate-kept by the system.
need a doctor and insurance’s permission to get the test to confirm a diagnosis. some labwork can be ordered online independently, but it’s limited and extremely expensive. as far as i know you can’t get most imaging other than a DEXA without a doctor.
say you feel confident about a diagnosis for whatever reason… well now the only way to get that medication for that condition… is with a prescription. pirate pharmacies exist, but the medications they carry are limited.
i’d have so much less of a problem with this stuff being “gate-kept” (because i DO understand the reason behind the “gate-keeping”) if doctors actually did anything.
