I am on a new diet for my Lupus and it is critical that this work b/c the next steps to take care of my Lupus are very powerful drugs that I don't want to take
I have Lupus and it is getting worse.  I asked my doctor for a chance to try a new diet I found that is suppose to help me with it.

Oh dear, that must be difficult. Are there medications to take that will help?
assistant
yes, but they are quite powerful which I am trying to avoid.  I am already on one and I am hoping that through this diet I can get off b/c the next steps won't be fun
user
Oh, I'm really sorry. That is for sure a challenge.
