I don't trust doctors, that's why I have been tested 5x to rule out other diseases that the encephalitis caused. But, I also think it's very dangerous to self-dx yourself or treat yourself.
Well I agree except for your last sentence, the condition you have is not the norm, most of the time its something like the flu or strep throat which is easy to self diagnose
