I just wanted to ask if anyone is or has tried alternative medicine?

I just went to see a naturopathic doctor last week and I absolutely loved it. It's like night and day from seeing my rheumatologist. She listen to me we spent two hours talking about everything I was going through and I feel like she genuinely cared and is trying some new different alternative things other than taking prednisone for everything. Was a great experience. We are also doing a food sensitivity test that will helpme determine what I should and should not be eating. The only downside is you have to pay pretty much out of pocket. Insurance won't cover anything other than some of the blood work. But for me it was worth it every penny

@A MyLupusTeam Member I know that just cutting sugar makes a world of difference for me. The only thing I wouldn't be game to stop would be my warfarin (I had a pulmonary embolism)
