      What happens when a person cannot decide whether or not he has reached the state of choleh  kol gufo? In such a case we allow him to take medication on Shabbos, the reason being that today we are not proficient in the grinding up of herbs, which was the reason for the Rabbinic ordinance of not taking medication on Shabbos. (see: Rabbi Dovid Ribiat, “The 39 Melochos” volume 2, pages 492-93,  and footnote 175a)
