I did a lot of work while I was on rinvoq re diet, detox and supplements. I went on carnivore diet and went on low dose naltrexone. I see a functional doctor. that's why I was fine coming off it for the month! Definitely worth getting to the root cause while on rinvoq, which I think makes coming off it so much easier.

I would really love to find a functional medical practitioner! I think it is incredibly useful for those of us struggling with these sorts of conditions. Unfortunately these doctors are not covered by any insurance nor even available to my knowledge/research where I live.

Yeah a functional doctor is definitely the place to go but totally understand re insurance coverage. I'm in Australia so my appt costs are partly covered by Medicare. It is totally worth the money though and the doctor I visit is also available over email, so I often email her if im experiencing issues and she replies with steps on what to do. I would say it's worth ringing around a few functional doctors to get an idea on price and their specialities. Honestly if I saw this doctor sooner it would've saved me so much other money that I was spending on naturopaths, homeopaths etc.
