person A: 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.
person B: Oh dear_comma_ that must be difficult. Are there medications to take that will help?
person A: yes_comma_ 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
person B: Oh_comma_ I'm really sorry. That is for sure a challenge.
