You can do this yourself if you really want to - but, you need access to the clinical manual.

Can you help a bit by letting us know how old you are & if you have a good doctor who is
looking after you ?. However if you are very confident you can find your way through a
clinical manual send me a PM & I'll point to you an online one. If that is a challenge to
do then I will become worried about if helping you is the right thing to do :9

So, send a PM & ask

Good luck
