There is, a bit. I'm not sure if you picked an auto-immune disease on purpose, but my understanding of auto-immune diseases specifically has changed pretty dramatically. The short answer is yes, I would eventually take the drugs to alleviate the symptoms, after I first attempted to fix the underlying problem through some treatments I wouldn't have known about two years ago.

It's actually a close parallel to how I feel about traditional autism therapies. They are great tools to help heal the wound, but the biomedical treatments take the knife out. Do that first, and the therapies (i.e. symptom treatment) are going to be that much more effective.
