Wondering about holistic docs in Chicago area?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I don't post often but I do have a question and I know some of

you folks are in the Chicago area. I recently left an experimental

trial for Rituxan (I've had RA for 7 years). I was on the trial

because all other drugs were failing me or I failed them. I had to go

off Enbrel because was dx with MS also (have very few symptoms if

any). Anyway, Rituxan did very little good for me--still swollen and

in pain! My aunt suggested a holistic doc in the Oak Park area by the

name of Hauser. I know my insurance won't cover me seeing him, but

wondered if anyone had gone that route (hypoallegenic diets,

nutritionals, photoluminesce...). I've balked at it in the past, but

4 people have mentioned trying an alternative route this week and i

thought i should look into it. I would LOVE to go back on Enbrel

since it worked so well but not sure if docs will let me due to MS

involvement.

THank you
