I have a bunch of stuff. Ignoring most of it seems to have worked (while making minor alterations to my lifestyle).

Was told about 5-6 years ago I had degenerative disk disease in my back. My wife had had surgery though where they fused her disk and it always caused her pain and limited her mobility, so I didn't do the surgery. Instead I always sleep on my side and I avoid standing or sitting for too long without stretching (2 hours or so). If I'm driving I stop and stretch every to hours etc. Back has not gone out now for over a year.

Was told I had cancer a few years ago (probably at least) and that I needed to go to Seattle for a Biopsy or something. Never did. Most of the symptoms have gone away though over time and I'm not dead (Lympathic system), glad I didn't go do those tests.

I do have type 2 diabetes and I take insulin for that, and I take 2 types of meds for high blood pressure, nothing I could do about either of them other than meds. I used to have horrid migrains until I took the high blood pressure meds so it's much better with them. The insulin did cause me to gain about 20 pounds but luckily I'm still in pretty good shape.

I generally avoid going to the doctor for anything. I did TRY and see mine to get hearing aids (I bought auiden hearing aids online but they cause a high pitch whine) but my doctor only wants to deal with my diabetes and ignores everything else (havn't gone since that visit after I was forced to change doctors due to my old place closing).

Would really like to get better hearing aids, but from what I hear even the co-pay is extreme for them.

I certainly wouldn't suggest the just ignore it all and never see a doctor method for most people, but it seems to mostly work for me for some reason.
