Not just considered, but seems likely. I have had a lot of trouble finding the key pair values with doctors to pursue any treatment down those lines. I also have ADHD and some other issues that make the diligent pursuit of treatment that is met without collaboration to be extremely difficult. I've found that the best way to NOT get treatment is to go into a doctors office with an idea of what might be wrong with me. I get the best results when I can compose myself enough to go in and complain about symptoms until they come up with something they think will help... which most of the time is 800mg ibuprophen or some weird pill that will reduce ear wax... but after a few visits they might say "GEE IT MIGHT BE BLOOD CLOTS".

Ugh. I'm just gonna do some deep breathing in cold baths, maybe DIY a hyperbaric chamber, get better at pullups, buy a rowing machine, and cut out sugar. Likely by the time that's effective the damage done will be compounded, but at least I won't be left in a holding pattern of how fucked US medicine is.
