Considering how much medication can help, uh, yeah, do those things. Its a trivial inconvenience compared to living unmedicated.

Also 5k is a lot, maybe if you're uninsured? Hell, getting an uninsured MRI is cheaper than that. And health insurance is kind of a must for living with a disability.

Don't like sentiments like this. I feel like it prevents people from getting the help they need.

The author is not saying don't get self-diagnosed. They're criticizing the healthcare system.

I agree with you, however I want to mention (for the international crowd) that health insurance is insanely expensive. If you are disabled and can't work (and live in a red state) you are fucked unless you have family who can help. No job = no subsidies for ACA insurance as well.

(Red state = right wing/Republican; ACA insurance is the government subsidized insurance that Obama started)
