I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and was feeling sick from the meds my rheumatologist was giving me. I searched out an alternative treatment for autoimmune diseases, and when I showed it to him, he refused to prescribe it for me saying "I don't practice like that". Well, I won't settle for a doc lilke that!! I found a doc who would prescribe it for me, and I feel like a new person. Don't settle for a doc that won't be open minded and listen to you and what you want. There are plenty of doctors out there who are open to ideas and will listen to what you want!!
